The Bases Are Loaded

Just a quick look on life.

The Bases Are Loaded

Now when I say the bases are loaded, I'm not talking about baseball. I'm talking about the bases in life.

This may sound like more of a blog post when I go on about being a teenage college student, but I think it's something a lot of my friends can definitely relate to. There's also so much to do in such little time. It's not even just school, it's everything and it begins to grow into stress and dealing with time management. If you don't create a time schedule for things, you soon to begin to realize how stressful things really can be. Let's start off with the college classes, well you're in five or maybe more and you have to attend class regularly so you don't miss anything, not a big deal. Then it gets to the work load. The work load can be tough when you get several assignments from each class alone. Now no one said it was going to be easy to get your college degree, overall I would say it's not too bad, you have to put in work in order to succeed.

Then we get to the part about how college students always seem to be broke and most of the time the majority of us work because we have bills to pay. Managing work and school can be difficult between trying to put in the hours at work to make money, but also to put in the hours for your school work, studying for exams, making projects, and writing papers. Work isn't always be the best because it can definitely be a stressor at times for everyone. Work is just an aspect we must deal with in order to pay for the things we must do.

One other thing to think about is having time for yourself. Everyone needs time for themselves and take themselves out of both, the school environment and work environment. You need to have some time doing things you enjoy maybe your hobbies or hanging out with friends and family. You still have to figure out how to enjoy life while doing all of these crazy miraculous things. Sometimes we need a day to ourselves so we can remind ourselves to live a little, well it is what were suppose to do we're suppose to actually be living, but how much living are you actually doing? Ask yourself that and if you can't say you've done much then maybe you need time for yourself more and consider it, even if it's only one day a week.

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.
