2 Life Lessons I've Learned From Golf

I've been playing golf since I was a freshmen in high school. I started playing it as a way to have fun but the more I played, the better I got and the better I got, the more I wanted to win. Every week I expected to go out there and win every tournament I played in. The more I played, the more I realized that sometimes you have it and sometimes you don't. It can be annoying sometimes when your game is gone for a while, but that's just how the game works, and life is very similar to that.

Some days are bad days and some days are good days. Just like some days you are gonna struggle to break 80 and some days it seems like every putt you hit is going to go in. Those bad rounds really make you appreciate the good ones, just like the bad days that you have will make you thankful for the good days. Golf has also taught me to be patient. Patience is something that I really struggle with and the same goes for a lot of people, but golf has slowly taught me how important it can be.

We need patience with relationships, school, work and about everything that is important in life. You have to be willing to wait and push through the hard times to get what you want or where you want to be. Like in golf, you have to be willing to work really hard, even when you are going through a rough time, and not give up. Just like in life, you can't just give up on your job when things are going rough. Patience is key not only in life, but definitely on the golf course.

Who would've known you could learn so much about life on the golf course?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
