12 Thoughts You Have About Life After College
Gsuwellness

Even though I am only a junior, I dread the day when I will have to walk across the stage in a cap and gown, shake President Porterfield's hand, and accept my college diploma (hopefully). For most people, life after college is uncertain and not knowing the next step is for some people, very stressful. But it is also an exciting time because you are actually starting your life as a young adult! (Yikes, I'm glad I have one more year.)

If you're like me, you've probably had these 12 concerns or thoughts about what life after college will be like.

1. I hope someone will hire me so I don't have to live in my parents' basement till I'm 30.

We've all seen "Failure to Launch" and Mathew McConaughey's character does not scream cool bachelor in this film.

2. I also hope that I don't end up alone with 50 cats.

Everyone knows they become your only friends.

3. How will I do my taxes?

Seriously, does anyone know how to do this?

4. How will I make enough money to support my current lifestyle of buying everything I see?

No more CVS runs and ordering food from Iron Hill.

5. Will people like me at my first job?

It's like middle school all over again.

6. Will I get a job that I like?

Will I be stuck crunching numbers for the rest of my life? What does that even mean?

7. Does this mean I have to get married in a few years?

Let's be serious, you become an old maid after 25.

8. Maybe I'll try law school.

Hey, if Elle Woods can do it, then I can -- right?

9. Nope. Definitely not law school.

Med school, maybe?

10. So no more summer vacation, then?

That's why I gotta become a teacher.

11. What if I have to live alone?

I've seen that horror movie and it does not end well for the young adult living in an apartment by themselves.

12. I can finally get as many pets as I want!

Freedom to get five puppies! (Much cooler than owning 50 cats.)

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.
