6 Feelings We Have About Starting Our Final Semester
Author's photo

It's the start of a new semester and for some of us, it's the beginning of our last semester. For those of us who are graduating soon, there are lots of different feelings and emotions we have coming into our last semester. We are excited, scared and everything in between.

1. We are excited!

It is exciting to think that in a few short months we will be graduating. We have worked hard to get here, and it is good to see our hard work pay off. We will also be moving on to pursue our goals whether that be graduate school or going into the workforce.

2. We are scared.

We only have one more semester to finish all our applications for jobs and schools, and that just doesn't feel like enough time. We also have to pass all our classes, so there is a lot of pressure riding on us during this last semester.

3. We are sad.

We are almost done with undergrad and we never thought we would make it, so it's relieving to know we are so close. Plus, there are things we won't have to do again like sign up for classes and pull all-nighters cramming for tests, at least at the undergrad level. Unfortunately, those of us going to grad school will still have to do those things.

5. We are nervous.

We are about to end one chapter and start another in our lives. Many of us are not certain of our futures. We are waiting to hear back from potential schools and employers and it can be pretty nerve-wracking not knowing what you will we doing this time next year.

6. We are ready!

We may be scared about finishing our last semester and what our futures may hold, but we are ready for the challenge. We have worked hard to get here, and we aren't going to let bumps in the road stop us from accomplishing our goals, whether they be to continue our education or to get our dream job, and we still have a few more months to figure it all out!

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.

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.
