30 Thoughts From An Incoming College Senior

As the beginning of my senior year of college approaches, I can't help but feel a range of emotions about almost being done with school and becoming a real adult. This time in my life brings excitement, fear, and everything in between.

Are you going to be a senior? You've probably thought some of these.

  1. How is it my senior year of college already? Like, didn't I just graduate high school?
  2. I can't believe three years went by so quickly.
  3. All these freshmen are going to look so young.
  4. Did I look that young as a freshman?
  5. And going off of that, how obvious was it to people that I was a freshman?
  6. *Shudders*
  7. Thank goodness I don't do any of that typical freshman stuff anymore.
  8. Like wearing lanyards. Who does that?
  9. But at the same time, I totally envy that they have four years still ahead of them.
  10. Ugh, I'm gonna be nostalgic all year.
  11. Good thing I have a younger sibling with meal points - now I can relive the dining halls!
  12. And some of the Welcome Week events.
  13. Seriously, this is gonna be the best year yet!
  14. But it's so sad that it's my last. :(
  15. I really have to enjoy and take advantage of everything this year; I won't have the chance to be a college student again.
  16. Unless I go to grad school.
  17. But that's not the same!
  18. I don't even know if I want to go to grad school.
  19. Which means I have to apply for jobs...
  20. *Shudders again*
  21. I hope I find a good a job.
  22. And get a better idea of what I want to do for a job.
  23. Actually, I just don't know what I'll be doing this time next year.
  24. So scary!
  25. I'm not ready to be a real adult.
  26. College is fun!
  27. In the real world, you don't get to start your day at 11 a.m.
  28. And weekends don't start on Thursday... or for some people, Wednesday...
  29. And $2 Tuesday isn't a thing.
  30. Life is so great right now. Please don't make me graduate!

Here's to the best year ever, Class of 2016!

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.
