5 Questions You're Totally Over

The questions we're tired of hearing as told by "Friends."

5 Questions You're Totally Over
www.youtube.com

As I enter my last semester of college, I keep getting asked the same questions I've been asked for the past year. Now I know I can't be the only one getting asked these questions!

1. When are you getting married?

At 22 years old, I thought I would have an answer to that question, but lucky for all you bachelors out there, I don't. However, every family gathering, about 10 minutes in, this question comes up! It's the best thing ever to be reminded that you are the only one still single.

2. What are you doing after you graduate?

Ha! The answer everyone wants to hear? I plan to move to the city and work for some agency, have a nice studio apartment with a doorman and meet a great man who works on Wall Street to spend happily ever after with.

Honest answer? Winging it! No plans, not at all.

3. You don't want kids?

Along with being unmarried and having no clear life path, let me just add to the disappointment: no, I don't want kids and that's okay!

Maybe one day, and I do stress that maybe, but in my post graduation plans that are non-existent, there is one existent plan — no kids. No thanks!

4. Wait, you want to move?

Believe it or not, Alabama is not where I want to live out my days. I want to live everywhere and see everything. Call me a nomad or call me crazy. I just don't want to settle down and stay in the same place I grew up. It's a cool place to come back to, but I want to get out and live other places first.


5. Really?

After hearing the answers to the above questions, my favorite part of the conversation usually comes up. This is the part where people sit back and ponder everything you've just said and can only reply with, "Really?" This usually leads to you having to justify or defend your ideas, but at least you know you're not going to get anymore questions any time soon!

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.
