Living In The Moment

I'm not too worried about what the future holds, and that's ok.

It's the end of my sophomore year of college and there's lots to worry about. Summer internships, moving off campus into a new home, preparing for the upcoming school year, even preparing for what lies ahead after college. Yes, all of these things are very important and should be planned out, but how 'planned out' do these plans have to be?

I believe in a happy medium.

I did plan for a summer internship. But I'm not worrying if it will develop into a job opportunity later down the road. If it does, great! If it doesn't, oh well.

I found a new home for next year, but instead of worrying if I'll stay for the next two years I'm just going to enjoy the time that I have in that new home.

The upcoming school year will kill me, but it is also all major classes, which is all I wanted since freshmen year. So i'm not going to complain. I'm going to enjoy it and be grateful for every second of it. Life, I guess my main point that I'm trying to say here is that people worry way too much. They worry about the future and what lies ahead but really, it excites me. Instead of worrying and planning so far ahead I just chose to live in the moment and enjoy what I have in front of me. Will everything last? Will everything work out? Maybe! But if it doesn't, more oppurtunities lie ahead. You know what they say...when a door closes, another one opens. Life opens up when you do, and simply enjoy every second of it. Life, let alone college, only happens once. So make the best of it! Live in the moment.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
