My Goals For My Senior Year

My Goals For My Senior Year

1. I'm going to say yes more often.

How many times have you said no to something that sounds fun but you just weren't sure if you would actually enjoy it? I am dedicated to trying new things and saying yes more often this year. No one remembers the nights that they got plenty of sleep.


2. I'm going to stay busy.

This year has started off busy and I love it. Between my temp job at the bookstore, classes, and hanging out with friends, I have a full schedule. Packing as much as possible into each and every day has made me realize how productive I can really be. Staying busy motivates me to get as much done as I can. I feel so accomplished after a full day and I want to feel that way every day.


3. I'm going to stay organized.

I always say that I'm going to stay organized throughout the year but I lose it half way through. This year I am going to try my hardest to stay on top of my organizational game.


4. I'm going to make more of an effort to speak up in class.

All of you shy people know exactly what I'm talking about. I hate talking in class. It takes forever for me to feel comfortable speaking in front of people. There have been so many times when I've known the answer but I just couldn't get myself to raise my hand and go for it. Not this year. This year I am going to participate more. If I know the answer I'm going for it and raising my hand. I want to show my professors that I do know the material and I'm not going to let my fear of public speaking hinder that.


5. I'm going to do more of the things I want to do.

This is my year to do what I want. I want to be the best possible me that I can be. I am going to make the most of this year for myself. A positive attitude can change everything! It's okay to think of yourself sometimes and this year I am going to make sure I do more of what I actually want to do.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
