Character

Something that is invisible but can been seen and felt through your actions.

Character is one of the most important things people have. Probably one of the very first things your parents try to instill in you as a child. Character is something that mostly evolves for each personality but I also think some of it can be bought because we learn from what we see so if we are taught the right things then most likely we will have a good character but if we are taught to cheat lie and steal then that will carry over into our character. Everyone can put on a show in front of the right people and hide the person they really are. There are people that are completely honest the whole time and don't hide part of themselves.

The most important thing is to always remember someone is always watching you and your character is extremely important whether someone is physically watching you or god is your only witness your never alone and it's important, to be honest, all the time. Nobody is perfect we all have our flaws but there is a difference in nobody is perfect and someone that is lying to hide behind a facade. Your character is something that people will always remember about you what your actions are how you treat people how you carry yourself.

Character is not something that you can change. You can change your hair, body and clothing but character always stays the same its the one thing that people will remember about you. Looks will fade but the person you are never will. My parents a drilled into me to saying "treat others how you wanted to be treated" probably one of the most common saying ever. I have always taken that to mean my character what I say how I act how I present my self. For me there are always people around and if you have a good character then that can carry you far in your life I personally believe.

For me its not only been about everyone deserves to be treated properly but also the amount of opportunities that could come your way just by your character I truly think is vast. I have come to find that people are more willing to help you further your career if you are respectable to people and have a good character over someone else who is disrespectful. I find it interesting how people can act one way for a certain group of people and then completely different for others for me I just don't know who to trust. people that can pull off acting to different ways are defiantly good at acting but at the same time they are really good at lying. Character cannot be seen but the actions of your character can be seen and felt.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
