For The College Student Faced With New Beginnings

Something new in life seems to happen almost every day, so embrace it.

For The College Student Faced With New Beginnings
Catherine Linnihan

We all start with new beginnings during some parts of our lives. Whether that be a major milestone in life, a different routine, a new job, a new lifestyle, or just making new friends.

All of these things have to do with new beginnings. When you decide to get a degree in a certain field, when you decide to get involved in church, clubs, and tribes, you are creating a new beginning in your life.

Something new seems to happen almost every day in my life or for me at least with me. When you decide to do something different or new, you should be happy about it and not sad or mad!

You are the one deciding if a certain thing is a good or a bad decision. For most of the time, decisions make an impact on your life regardless of how big the decision is. Some decisions you will look back on for a long time in your life.

Sometimes new beginnings is a meaning of being refreshed or just starting new with certain things in life.

For example, when you accept Jesus as your Savior, you are made new in Christ's image and you are cleaned or washed away from your sins. Jesus makes us new and we can have a fresh new beginning in life when we live for Him.

So, whenever you feel like you are taking a big leap of faith in your life to begin something new, like going to college, getting a job, getting married, and other things; just remember that is a new beginning. Sometimes it doesn't feel like that, but it is in reality. New beginnings are fun and can adventurous sometimes, but most times they are good, even though sometimes it can get scary with the going into something new!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
