4 Symptoms Of Senioritis

Senior year is full of many ups and downs , but one thing is for sure every senior catches Senioritis at one point during the year. Senioritis is normally associated with just lack of motivation, but it is much more than that. From thinking about the future, college applications, going to interviews, applying for scholarships and keeping your grades up, it seems that you can never get a break.

1. You're Stressed

You are worried about getting into colleges. You are worried about getting a job. You are worried about keeping your grades up. You are worried about the future, and top it all off your “to do list” seems never ending. You can't seem to keep up with all the deadlines, interviews, rehearsals, events and studying you have to do. It seems like you're worrying about both the present and the future all day long and you have no clue how to make it stop.

2. Your life seems to be full of lasts

From your last football game to your last exam, your life seems to be full of lasts. It seemed like yesterday when your life was all full of firsts and you never thought the day would come when you were playing your last basketball game or buying a dress for your last prom. You been praying for this day to come since freshman year or even before that, but now that it has you want it all to slow down. Everything is more fast and it all seems bitter sweet. At this point you are coming to know the true meaning of “You don’t know what you have till it’s gone.”

3. You just don’t care anymore

You heard the rumors about this epidemic but now you understand the truth. Somewhere between the first day of school and the second day of school you stopped caring. You have no motivation to go to class, do homework or study. Ever since you got that first college acceptance letter you felt as though you no longer had to try or care about school anymore. Your grades seem to be dropping, you're missing class, coming in late and leaving early. You don’t care if you have a A or a B. Motivation is running low and all you want to do is leave.

4. You're both excited and scared.

You want it to end and at the same time, you don’t want it to end. You're excited for the future and all the “firsts” you will have. You're excited for a new school, a new job and overall a new life. You're excited for a fresh start, but at the same time you're scared to leave the familiar. You're scared for the homesick days when all you want it your mom's cooking. You will miss the familiar streets and restaurants. And most of all you're scared and excited for change.

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.
