As college students the interview process becomes much more familiar and much more real. We transition from interviews for part time jobs at local stores and restaurants into interviews for full time careers.
Today it seems like everything revolves around science and technology and everyone is always on the go running around from one thing to another. There never seems to be time for a break in our lives to just sit and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. It becomes mentally draining and monotonous, leaving many of us feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied.
For most people, choosing a college major is a stressful process.
There is an unfair stereotype for the Millennial generation. They are seen as entitled, social-media-obsessed individuals with a lack of commendable work ethic.
Many people think that the lives of college students consist merely of going to parties and taking pictures for Instagram. Many believe we all live in a state of unsubstantial bliss.
I used to never care about football. It was always something my dad and my brothers would talk about while my mom and I rolled our eyes, sighed and said, “Ugh, boys.”
The biggest political debates of the year are about to ensue, people will feel lonelier now than during a Valentines Day with no valentine, the feeling of failure rushes within us as we describe what we do for a living, we eat our feelings to cope and get told we look more plush than we used to. No belief system is safe; no opinions are the right ones. All hell breaks lose.
Two days ago I was just sitting at home, bored and in need of entertainment. I thought to myself, “I could start The Office or Friends again,” but that just didn’t seem like the move I wanted to make. I remembered hearing about the show This Is Us. At first I was confused by the plotline when people were trying to describe it to me telling me to watch it and I thought there’s no way I would enjoy this. Two days ago I swallowed my pride and decided to give it a try.
The semester is coming to a close and finals are coming up fast. For most of us, there is that one class that just makes us question everything. Something about it is able to control all of your thoughts. Maybe it’s chemistry and you have a 67 in the class and need a 86 on the final just to pass (honestly though, RIP), but as a biomed major it is so important you do well in this class. Or maybe it’s business calculus and it’s the only thing keeping you from making the dean’s list and if the semester was just a little bit longer you could pull your grade up. How poorly this class seems to be going for you makes you question if you should just give up because, maybe, this isn’t the field you should actually be in. Maybe this class is telling you to try something new.
What began as just a simple game of Guitar Hero turned into a headlining career.
It’s safe to say we have all heard of the freshman 15, and some of us may have even fallen victim to it. As we noticed the pounds start piling on, we tried every fad diet and detox cleanse that we could possibly find on the internet to get rid of them without any luck. How could our trusty diet expert, Google, lead us astray? Chances are you did what your mom probably told you not to do and believed everything you read, and most of it is wrong.
Being a student at Auburn University is something to brag about, but being a woman student at Auburn University is even more rewarding.
The time has finally come. Many months of shopping, packing, preparing, and dreaming have all lead up to this moment. You have finally began your new life as a college student.
Sewing the ribbons on my pointe shoes became second nature. I close my eyes while I weave the thread in and out of the satin. I look back down at the pink shoes; they have turned blood red. I quickly try to take them off, but I had sewn my foot into the shoe. I am jolted awake and immediately grab my foot, reassuring myself that it was only a dream. I was thirteen years old when I first experienced this nightmare. By the time I was eighteen, it was like I was sewing thread into my foot every night. Ballet was turning into a nightmare.
Look around you; to your left, right, in front, and behind. One of those people you just saw has a mental illness.
“I believe this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore I believe in work, hard work.”
Today it seems like everything revolves around science and technology and everyone is always on the go running around from one thing to another. There never seems to be time for a break in our lives to just sit and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. It’s mentally draining and, personally, leaves me feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied.
In this day and age, everyone is pushing for equality.
For most people, choosing a college major is a stressful process. There are so many options that it becomes overwhelming. You could start out thinking you want to be a doctor and end up in journalism. Or maybe, you truly have a passion for something but it isn’t a “main stream” career. What are you supposed to do then? Do you major in what you love or in what will give you more job security after graduation? We have all heard both sides of the situation; some say you need to find a job in what you love so that work is never dreadful, but others recommend to major in something that will make the big bucks later on. Is there really a right or wrong?
