5 More Lessons From a Senior

So with just a month left of school and I start to look into what I might start doing once I get out of school as I work on adjusting my resume and cover letter I’ve started looking back on what I would do over again if I was given the chance. So I thought it would be a good idea to share some of those lessons with you and maybe you might take something away from it.

1. Go see Guest Speakers

Even if it doesn't seem like they are involved in an area that you're interested in, you never know what'll peak your interest, what a new connection might help you get involved in, so if you have the time use it.

2. Try to contact people in the field you want to work in.

Believe it or not, sometimes just trying to find people who work in the field you work is actually easier than you think. Sometimes it really does just come down to emailing or calling the right person. Granted there is no guarantee that you will get a response but it really doesn't hurt to try. Especially if you try to talk to slightly smaller companies since they are a bit easier to get a hold.

3. Have a friend with a spare couch or bed.

I've been lucky enough to live in a house, but if you don't, sexiling is a thing that occurs and having a friend with spare sleeping room came in handy during my freshman year.

4. Always be on the look out for grants

Not just within your university but also from your city, state, anything like that, always be on the look out for any sources of money that can help you in your endeavors.

5. Accept that you don't fully know yourself, and be prepared to find a new aspect of yourself everyday.

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.
