To The Freshman At Union University

Some words of advice from a senior.

Dear Freshman class of 2020,

First of all I would love to welcome you to Union. I love this place and have made memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. If I could go give you any advice, it would be to get involved. Join Greek like, run for student council, join whatever club you want. It may not feel like it, but the next four years will fly by. I'm sure everyone is teling you that, but trust me it is so true.

I hope that you will come to call this place your second home, as you decorate your dorm room and find your place here. For those who live out in Pollard and the other dorms that are far from civilization, I used to live in Pollard so I understand how far of a walk it is to do anything. Especially if you have to walk to Jennings or White Hall. But at least you get good exercise.

By now you have probably figured out that the dining hall has good days and bad days. You guys are lucky in that you get to see The Lex the way it is now. Let's just say it needed a major face lift and has greatly improved since my freshman year.

Please don't be one of those people that walks around with no shoes on inside buildings. Have some class and come to class with shoes on.

Above all else, enjoy your time here. Be loud and crazy (unless it's quiet hours) and make as many memories as you can. Go to the different games on campus, we have a really fun student section and we love cheering on the Bulldogs. You can say with pride that you go to Union. I hope that God does an awesome work in you, this school year and in the years to come.

I hope to see you around campus. Have a great year.

From a senior not ready to leave this place.

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.
