19 Stages of Graduating College According to How I Met Your Mother

The last semester before you graduate college is an emotional roller coaster. One day you're celebrating and the next day you're balling your eyes out. Coming to college was a huge challenge and now, leaving is even harder.

Over the past four years, you've done it all. You've failed a test or aced one; drank all night and forgot how you got home; ate an absurd amount of food; met the love of your life or thought you did; possibly made a few enemies but still found friends for a lifetime.

College is where you've experienced every emotion from frustration when you threw textbooks at the wall to laughing until you cried with your roommate or best friend. Whether you've been counting down the days until graduation or absolutely dreading it, this is more or less what your last semester looked like.

1. You’re ready for your last semester.

2. Until you get an email about graduation.

3. You’re in denial.

4. You have serious senioritis.

5. Solving problems with alcohol is what you really learned in college.

6. But you haven't figured out how to stop time from flying by.

7. Panicking because what are you doing with your life?

8. And your family keeps asking you about post grad plans.

9. Or if you’re excited to graduate.

10. Hangry (but this is a regular thing).

11. You’re actually terrified of the “real world.”

12. Then, it's only one week until graduation.

13. You decide to fail your finals so you don’t have to leave.

14. Your friends don’t want you to leave and neither do you.

15. You can’t stop crying because it’s too hard to say goodbye and college is too good to leave.

16. You have no idea what is going on anymore.

17. But it’s okay to not have all of the answers.

18. Leaving college has been an absolute roller coaster.

19. But be proud because you did it!

Congratulations to the Class of 2016!

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.
