Transitions are always scaring and perhaps one of the scariest ones is when we are kicked out of our little college bubble and out into the real-real world. Don't get me wrong we have already partaken in the real world we have not been living a fairy tale, however it is the time for when we will be forced away from our friends and we will be completely responsible for our own lives. Here are a few thoughts I think everyone has at least once when they are about to graduate.


Hire me please.

We all have had that moment where we think we will never get hired by anyone. We just desperately want someone to notice all the hard work we have put in the past few years and give us a salary for it. Pleas hire us. We are begging you.


How will I function without my friends?

There are always friends around to help you put together an outfit or to look over a paper you have written. You are kind of used to travelling in a heard whether if it is for dinner or a sports event. Your group has come from all over the country and once you are outside of your bubble you wonder how you will see them again and how you will be as happy on your own.


But I still haven't learned how to be an adult?

what is a Roth IRA? What kind of retirement plan do I need? What is the plural of "moose"? These are questions that we still ask ourselves. When we were younger we thought that when we graduated college we would feel like adults but here we are and we are still confused about a lot of things.


I need to buy dress pants.

I need to get a whole new wardrobe for the adult work field. I don't think my roll out of bed college clothes are going to cut it anymore. We might need to start investing in a wardrobe that is more real clothes rather than pajamas and workout clothes.


What if I forget everything I have learned?

What if I cannot remember everything important that I have been told for the last four years? What if all of my knowledge just decides to leave my brain.


We finally did it.

We are finally getting prepared to walk the line. We are very proud that we have been able to accomplish this dream that we have had for so long. No, it has not been easy. We know that it will be worth it. We cannot wait to put all of our work to the test. We will always cherish the amazing memories we have had at our school. we will forever be thankful for the amazing season in our lives that is known as college.

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.
