18 Thoughts I Had On My Last First Day Of College

I still haven't come to terms with the fact that this is my last semester of college and I will be graduating in four months. College has flown by and I am certainly grateful for all of the experiences I've had thus far. At the same time, it is difficult not to be nervous about the future. These are just a few thoughts I had on my official last first day:

1. "What do I wear? This is my last first day and I have nothing to wear."

"But then again, I am a senior, so I guess it doesn't really matter what I wear."

2. "I can’t believe I am starting my last semester of college. Maybe I should send mom a pic and document this important moment?"

3. "Hopefully I don’t get emotional today."

"I know I will though. This won't end well. Cue sobbing."

4. "I should probably head to class and stop thinking about my future."

5. "But what am I going to do once I graduate?"

6. "Where will all my friends be?"

"I don't want to be alone. I'm going to have roommate separation anxiety."

7. "What if I don’t have friends?"

8. "What if I don’t get a good job?"

"I just want to be able to live on my own and be happy, is that too much to ask?"

9. "Why are all the freshmen dressed so nice?"

10. "I wish I was a freshman again. That would be nice."

"Those were the days. I actually had free time then, something I miss very much."

11. "Why is this class so long?"

12. "It’s my last semester, why can’t I have a break from all this work?"

"This is too much. Go away senior thesis. I'm done."

13. "I hope I don’t have senioritis. I probably do. Oh well."

14. "Is this day over yet?"

"I don't think I can sit up straight anymore."

15. "I need a nap."

16. "I really need to fix my resume. I should probably do that. But how?"

"I am definitely going to need some assistance with this."

17. "Finally. Classes are done. That was a stressful last first day. I can relax now."

18. "I can’t wait to graduate. Or wait, maybe I’m not ready to graduate just quite yet."

"I am in a constant state of denial. Slow down senior year."

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.
