I've always said it and I'll keep saying it. You must be of a totally different breed to experience love. You see, this matter of love comes from a domain that's completely connected to the heart. So anyone with even the slightest of impurities still left there will not be capable of it. Love & envy will never be combined in the same heart. Love & hypocrisy will never be combined in the same heart. Love & greed will never be combined in the same heart. Unless the heart is utterly purified of every damned trait and vice, this blessed virtue will not take roots therein. And for love to happen between two souls, it is indispensable that their hearts are on the same scales of purity. Any imbalance in this will hamper the experience of love. How unfortunate it is that people have disconnected themselves from the prerequisites and then in the end continue to lament for the absence of love. How could love ever be experienced unless the hearts are thoroughly cleansed. And then the greatest of all human follies is the expectation to receive love from someone who's utterly degenerated. What produce has an infertile earth ever come forth with. No one ever plants a seed on rocks...

I passed all of my exams today!!!

My makeup always manages to look its best when I only have ten minutes to sling it on. I felt like a fairy. <3

Now I have a little bit of free time to get myself put back together after this hectic semester.

While an outgoing personality, positive self image, physical appearance, education and social standing may possibly make it an easier path to tread, thankfully for the vast majority of us who might not possess at least all of these qualifications, there are no prerequisites for lovingly following the way of kindness.

hello!! what are the differences between course levels (100/200/500/etc) and which ones can freshmen take? thanks!!

Hello!

The course levels work like most colleges, in which the higher the number, the harder and more specific the class. 100 levels are usually introductory level courses, and depending on your department, 200s can be colloquiums, lectures, or advanced labs. Many 200 levels and above need prerequisites so first-years usually take a mix of 100s and 200s depending on the class/department. 300 levels are usually seminars. These are capped at 12 people and focus on a specific topic, usually according to the Professor’s research specialty. In my experience, seminars are also discussion, reading, and writing heavy, with semester long projects. Most, if not all, first-years would not have the prerequisites to take 300 level courses.

Also, your AP/IB/A-level scores can count as a 100 level prerequisite, but it won’t be taken for credit and you would have to make it up by taking an extra class. So because I took IB Biology HL, I could skip BIO 132 and go right into BIO 200 Cell Bio.

Hope this helps!

You can do it!

As a nursing major I’ve noticed that A lOT of students constantly talk about how hard and awful prerequisites are. And how it is nearly impossible to get into nursing school. Whenever you tell someone you are a nursing major they look at you with a face that says, “Good luck with that.” Part of the reason it took me a while to change my major to nursing was because of all the horror stories that I had heard. I had spoken to countless people that wanted to change there major because they said it was just too hard. Now that I am halfway through prerequisites I can type all this with confidence. DON’T LISTEN TO PEOPLE TRYING TO SCARE YOU. YOU CAN DO IT! Your confidence isn’t going to grow overnight. College is a game and you have to learn how to play it. As time passes you will find your own rhythm. I promise you. I’m not as confident as I would like to be academically, but my gosh I have grown A LOT in the past two semesters. And If I can do it I promise you can too. It’s ok to doubt yourself or be nervous but it’s not ok to just throw in the towel without even trying. Just keep moving forward, you just might surprise yourself :) 

-this applies to other majors as well!
