When going into your last year of college, there are tons of thoughts going through your mind. Am I ready? Am I going to find a job when I am done -- a job that actually pertains to my degree? What about loans? Will I be able to afford to live? Below you can find 11 thoughts that go through every college student's mind during his or her last year of undergrad.

1. It is about time!

Ever since my first year of college I have been dreaming about the start of this year. GET ME OUT OF HERE! I am ready to be done.

2. But am I really ready?

I am not quite sue if I am ready for all that is before me these next two semesters... can I skip it? I don't want to be an adult anymore.

3. What have I been doing the last three years of my life?

Am I even prepared? I do not feel prepared... they never prepared me for this... what were all those classes for?

4. What am I going to do after graduation?

Move back home... Move away... join the circus... Pay bills... be broke... probably all of the above at some point. At least I'll be a college graduate!

5. Student loans...

Let us not talk about these right now. We are still a ways off anyways. The more I think about them the more living in a cardboard box on the beach sounds good.

6. Finding a job.

It is time to put my big boy (or girl) pants on! Hopefully I will find a job in my field... Let us just hope I do not end up at McDonald's.

7. Friends

They have helped me survive these last three years. If we can make it through these last two semesters then we will be golden. We have still got each other through this last stretch!

8. The beginning of the end.

It is the beginning of the end of the rest of your life... or so it feels. In a few short months you will be in full adulthood... but for now, I am going to pretend the end is not near and that I have no adult responsibilities.

9. Senioritis

I do not even want to try this year... but I have to. So... close... cannot... stop... now...

10. Grad school

I have not even thought about Grad school yet. Let us pretend that it does not exist... and... do I really even need it?

11. The next step.


The next step into the newest chapter of my life. I am ready!

Going into your last year of college can be very overwhelming. There are a lot of first and lasts to experience, friends to be with, homework to do, jobs to work, and so much more. Even though this is the last year of college, it is what you make of it.

Last year of college? More like THE BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE!

Or at least I will try to make it like that...

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
