When you come close to your college graduation, you're going to get a lot of questions, like, "What do you plan on doing once you graduate?" or "Have you applied for any jobs yet?" My personal favorite is "Why don't you have a husband?"

One thing I've been preaching for the last year is that at 21 years old, I don't have to have any of that figured out. Here are 5 reasons why according to "Deadpool."

1. You've only lived about a fourth of your life.

At 21 (or 22 depending on your birthday), you've only lived a fourth of your life-expectancy. There's no way you're going to have your entire life and entire career planned out.

2. People change.

You are not going to be the same person in 10 years that you are right now in college. Embrace your youth.

3. You haven't experienced everything yet.

There are places you haven't seen, people you haven't met, food you haven't eaten. Why settle down at a desk now? Travel the world. Experience everything!

4. Getting a ring by spring is not a priority.

You have plenty of time to find your significant other. When you search and search for them, it usually takes even longer to find them. So experience life, stop searching and wait for your life partner to find you.

5. Having life figured out and sitting at a dead-end job is boring.

You don't want to be 20-something in a dead-end job chained to your desk all day with a burning wanderlust. You will make yourself miserable.


Now, I'm not saying you should move back into your parents' basement and bum off mom. You should definitely support yourself, but if that means living in a tiny apartment and working a random job, so be it. Just be a happy 21 (or 22)-year-old. Live your life. Experience the world around you. There's always plenty of time for settling down.

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.
