Whatever questions you have for graduating seniors from college-please keep them to yourself! Why am I saying this? Because 9/10 we have already asked ourselves these questions and are freaking out because the answer could be "I'm not 100% sure right now" and most people hate that answer.

This is the face we usually get when we give that answer and honestly I don't have time for that face. We are stressed enough as it is because well we still need to GRADUATE first and we know that by December we hope to have more answers! What questions am I talking about? Let the list begin!

1. What schools are you looking at?


Very important question that about half of the graduating class has not idea where to look! There are some people who do not want to go back to school. They want to take a leap year, have fun or get a job, and than maybe return back to school. Some may have a couple schools picked out, know the application deadline, GMAT/GRE test score requirements, and whatever else is needed to get into that school.

2. What will you do with your degree/degrees?


Um get a corporate American job to start paying off loans? I mean some may be getting out of college with no debt and just want to get a job as soon as they graduate. It may take weeks or months, but we just have to hope our resume gets us that job. Some of have been going internships and already have jobs lined up for them once they walk the stage. It would also be smart to get a job in the field you have been studying in, but sometimes that does not happen and you gotta be ready to rock it.

3. Do you plan on working at the school after you graduate?

I mean do not get me wrong some people LOVE their school (as a Senior Ambassador I would be one of those people), however, I do not plan on staying there after I graduate. That is another chapter done in my book and I must move on to bigger and better things!

4. So do you expect an engagement ring at graduation?

Now this does not mean I will not be excited and say yes if my boyfriend did ask me. For right now, I am not expecting one and I mat get one in the late future. I am not 100% sure why people expect an engagement ring on that day because well its my graduation day!

5. Where do you plan on living after you graduate?

With my parents until I can get on my feet! They have offered and I will graciously take it until my boyfriend and I can move in together! Yes I want to move in with my boyfriend before we are engaged or married and that is MY CHOICE or anyone else who decides to do this. Figuring out where to live after you have been spending money on gas, moving your stuff, and other things money on a place is the last thing unless I have already moved into an apartment.

6. Why not just save money and go to graduate school at your college?

You don't think I already thought of that? It was the first place I looked, but does not have the degree I want so the answer is no! Yes it would be possibly save me money, but it would push me back even more than I want to be and thats not okay with me. Now for some people it is a win-win situation and they can get a double whammy out of the way. Others have to go somewhere else to get their education finished.


Now I can understand why you are asking all of these questions! You want to know the same answers that any graduating senior wants to know, but unfortunately does not know! So for those that feel obliged to ask a graduating senior any of the questions above or any new ones you have the desire to ask-PLEASE do not ask. For the first half of the semester our worry is making sure we get the test done to start applying and getting applications done. This may also be that time where we figure out were we are living and when you can send graduation gifts (money is a gift that will gladly be accepted!) We are not trying to be mean, but being asked these same questions does not help either!

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.
