To The College Senior Ready For The Real World

Senior year of college is definitely a weird time in life. It's that time where you are sitting in your classes realizing you will be done with your undergraduate degree in less than 6 months. You did it!

Fear. Doubt. Excitement. Struggles. Successes. Changes. Accomplishments.

Throughout these four years, the emotions and experiences students go through are a once in a lifetime experience. If you have the means and drive to get your undergraduate degree at a university or college, you should do it. College is a time not only to further your education but to learn a ton about yourself and what you truly want for your life.

Think about it. When you enter college, you are 18 and probably leaving home for the first time. You have probably only seen a tiny bit of the world, and this is the beginning of a huge experience. You are placed with many individuals who come from completely different backgrounds.

Like anything in life, it has its pluses and minuses. But, the experience you gain is once in a lifetime.

When you have a bad day. When you don't want to get out of bed. When you land an internship. When you are honored at a university event. When you attend the football game for the last time. All of these things, each and every day, come and go within the blink of an eye.

But...one day you'll be ready.

One day it will just click.

You'll be perfecting your resume. Meeting with career advisors. Thinking hard about what you truly want. Applying to different positions. Pricing out apartments. You'll be invested in yourself. You'll think of your true dreams.

Everything is possible at this point.

But hey, college senior, do not consume your time only on these things. Try to enjoy. Try to live those last few young adult moments. Hangout with whoever you want. Stay up late at night. Live your last college moments - it does not last forever.

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.
