I can’t speak for every other college senior who is getting ready to embark on graduation day. However, I can speak for myself, and I can tell you I have only one thing on my mind when it comes to graduation day -- my graduation cap. The new fad involving graduation is to decorate the top of your graduation cap in a way that shows the world who you are. Possible ideas include showing the world your future through encompassing your major, sharing with the world your favorite quote, or entertaining the world by throwing out some humor. There are endless possibilities; however, nothing can be created until an idea is sparked. This is why I’m going to leave with you some possible masterpiece ideas to show the world who you are on your graduation day.

Future Educators: Show the world what your true passion is by creating a masterpiece on your graduation cap that revolves around your life as a teacher.

Quote Lovers: If you have a favorite quote or a quote you live by, show the world on graduation day by putting it on your graduation cap. Quotes by famous people, Bible verses, prayers, etc. -- they’ll all make a great touch to your special day.

Humor Addicts: Humor can be the best medicine in life, but we all know it takes a special person to let humor shine. If you are that special person and your humor radiates a room, choose a humorous message to show the world on graduation day.

TV Lovers: Do you have a favorite TV show? If so, maybe you should try incorporating that show into your masterpiece on graduation day.

Movie Lovers: Maybe TV shows aren’t your thing, but movies are. Let the world know one of your favorite movies or movie quotes on graduation day by letting it shine through your graduation cap.

Math Majors: If you are that odd percentage of the population, whom I do not understand, and math is your specialty, you might as well show the world on graduation day. I, however, will steer clear of showing the world anything math related.

Science Majors: For some odd reason, there are a lot of puns and humor that go along with science. Embrace that if you’re a science major and show it to the world on graduation day.

Agriculture Lovers: Growing up in Nebraska, agriculture plays a large role in the lives of many. Show your appreciate for agriculture on graduation day.

Whether your graduation cap is your only concern involving graduation or not, I hope that you have gained some inspiration from reading this article. However, if you’re still stuck on a masterpiece idea, dig deep and find what inspires you. Show the world what you’re all about. This is your last chance to shine on your college campus.

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.

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.
