You Might Be A Senior If...

The college senior life. In some ways, it's as much the same as the past three years; you're in a routine of classes, homework, friends, homework, church...homework. In some ways, though, it's different. Intimidatingly different. Because you have to start making decisions about a future that arrived way sooner than you thought it would. If you're a senior, you can probably relate to some of these experiences.

1. You just realized you don’t have to go through move-in day ever again.


2. You’re starting to realize just how much stuff you’ve accumulated over the years and are wondering where it’s all going to fit if you don’t get an apartment right away.


3. You’re frantically applying for jobs and editing your resume and trying to make connections and realizing just how valuable your college’s career services are.


4. You realized that by this time next year you will either have a job or be living in your parents’ basement. Unless they don’t want you in their basement…in which case you realize that it’s job or bust.


5. You’re wondering if maybe you should stay at school another year because the real world is starting to look terrifying.


6. Everyone within a ten-mile radius is getting engaged.


7. You’re in at least one wedding. And you couldn’t be more excited about it.


8. There are days when you are looking forward to being out in the world and working in your career field…and then there are days when you contemplate the idea of making your own food and shudder in fear.


9. You’ve already experienced finals six times and still have to go through it two more times but consider yourself an expert until you actually reach finals week and realize it’s still just as bad as ever.


10. The freshmen seem so young, and your own freshman year was eons ago.


11. High school is a vague memory from a distant past that you have to reach into the recesses of your mind to recollect.


12. Your younger siblings are in high school and even college. You can’t even recall them growing up, but they seem a lot more prepared for the adult world than you are.


13. You’re pleading with your laptop to hang in there for one more year.


14. You’re pleading with your bank account to hang in there for one more year.


15. You’re pleading with your GPA to hang in there for one more year.


16. You realize that everything is “for the last time,” and it’s making you nostalgic.


17. You’re dreading the days when your friends are no longer a two-minute walk away.


18. You’re starting to get excited about all the opportunities ahead, and you’re glad that college has prepared you so well.


19. You wrote a post about how you might be a senior.

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.
