Different Person Than Before

We think we need to be the same person forever or we want to change ourselves but we can do both.

"I'm a different person to who I was this time last year"-Unknown

It is a known fact that we all change as we grow up in each stage of our lives, from a young child to pre-teen, teenage year and finally adulthood. In each of these stages of life, we change our hair style, clothes, interests and so much more. What is surprising is that we change quite more than expected in college. At the beginning of college, we may be thinking we know exactly who we are but as time goes on, we see the world through different eyes. In college, we are allowed to change different parts of ourselves if we want or stay the same because this is a fresh start to relevant who we are.

"I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then"-Lewis Carroll

When we enter into high school it is all so new and experiences the famous feelings of being nervous but excited for the unknown world we are entering into.Those four years seems to either be best or worse time of our lives. We may start to feel older and know how we are but high school has to end eventually and we have ventured into either college or working in the real world. Once we leave those school doors for the last time, the world changes. We have to view it through a different set of eyes because we are different whether we choose to admit it or not. The truth is that we are no longer children and as much as we wish we could back to that time, we can not and we have to make decisions that will affect our future.

"Remember you are a different person now than before. You are wiser and stronger for the trials that you have been through"-Leon Brown

After we start college, we experience the familiar feelings we experienced four years at the beginning of high school but now they mean something different. These feelings mean we no longer can rely on our parents to catch us when we fall and we have to make our choices without having our parents there to back us up. Also, proof that we are about to enter a new chapter of our lives that will be a terrifying but rewarding experience to help us prepare ourselves to what's come next in our lives. We discover people who may become our closest friends that we would not have met otherwise. We will on go adventures that will push us outside of our comfort zone. We grow into a more confident person and know what we want. My freshman year of college is almost over, and I just feel like I am a different person than when I came here all those months ago. I am working on being more confident person and allowing myself to discover who I am and what out of this life.

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.
