How I Expect First Year Of College To Go
University of west Alabama

Have you always wondered how college would go? Have you asked yourself who is behind you in this huge journey?

Well, I believe that my first year of college will be different from most freshmen's first year. I'm going into college with only church members from my church behind me. It has been a rough summer for me, personally. I had to leave my house because of some situations, and the expense of college has been hard on me. But I know that I will strive to have a great year from making new friends to making good grades.

You may think that no one has your back while your going through this big change. But truly you have no idea how many people are really behind you when you truly need them. I was in a place were I thought I was all alone then, out of no where people from the University of West Alabama were helping me with all the stress about college from being in the dorms to helping me find ways to pay for college so I can become a strong independent young woman just trying to get an education and get my major as a special education teacher.

I believe that college will go by super fast, but at the same time you may never know. But I do know that I want be one of those college students that goes to all the parties. My studies are my main focus but I will make college memorable, at the same time. Many of my high school teachers have said that college is way different from high school. You have no curfew, your parents aren't there to wake you up for class and remind you to clean your room. You have to everything on your own -- including having to cook for yourself.

A change can be a good thing. The shift from high school classes to college classes won't be easy, but with a little of grit and determination. if you put your faith to it and you strive greatly, college it will be a breeze.

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.
