Freshman year you were still figuring everything out, sophomore year was filled with highs and lows, but now you're a junior, and finally an upperclassman! It feels mind boggling that you're half way done with your college career and on your way to adulthood, but we still have some fun times ahead of us. Here are 10 reasons why everyone should get pumped for their junior year!


1. You finally have the whole living situation figured out

Whether you lived at home freshman year, hated your dorm, or you and your roommates just didn't get along, you finally have a decent place to live! Its common to live with your besties at an off campus house or apartment junior year which makes life so much sweeter!

2. College life is no longer an adjustment

This is your third time around and you're ready to take on anything that is thrown your way. You survived two whole years of stress and nothing can shake you now. You're half way done with college and have an immense amount of knowledge and resources to help you get through the last two years!

3. Internships are exciting

Junior year is full of exciting internships! This is the time when you finally get to experience a taste of the real world. Getting job experience and building your resume are all prevalent aspects of junior year.

4. You can study abroad

Experiencing different cultures and countries is an amazing experience! Since most of your prerequisites and general education credits are out of the way, traveling abroad is a great way to spend a semester!

5. You finally get to learn about things that you actually care about

Finally, the time has come to explore your major with core classes that are actually relevant to what you're studying! Say goodbye to those weird art classes you took just to get a credit and the ridiculously hard physics class you needed as a prerequisite. Plus, it makes studying fun and interesting!

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.
