25 Thoughts You Have Had While Applying to College

If you are like me, you have spent the last few weeks (if not months) writing and rewriting supplemental essays, getting recommendation letters, going on interviews, and telling 48,576 of you parents closest friends about the school you want to go to. That's right, its late October of your senior year and college is the only thing on your mind. You love thinking about it and all of the possibilities. You are excited to see where you get in, and even more excited to see where you end up. But now, all you are doing is writing applications and it is way more stressful than you were expecting:

1. This is harder than I thought it would be.

2. They have how many supplements!?

3. If it says at least one page, should I write one, or, like, 25?

4. Who else is applying?

5. I wonder where everyone else will go from my school.

6. Why do I have to pay to send SAT scores, AP scores, ACT scores, and the application itself?

7. I'm definitely not getting in.

8. Should I do the scholarship essay? Will I get the scholarship?

9. Should I send and email asking a question? Or is that too much?

10. I'm definitely getting in.

11. Does 250-650 words mean I should write 650?

12. What is my third choice concentration?

13. What if I don't get in anywhere?

14. What if my computer explodes on October 31st?

15. What if my common app doesn't go through?

16. What if I accidentally spelled my name wrong?

17. Why should I be considered for admission for (insert school name)?

18. What stands out about this school to me?

19. This is easier than I thought it would be.

20. I want to talk about college all of the time.

21. I don't want to talk about college anymore.

22. I love (insert school name) so much I can't even think about anything else!

23. I can't wait to hear back!

24. How did high school go by so quickly?

25. This is all going to be worth it.

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.
