An Open Letter To The Big Dreamer

We chase dreams that are unrealistic sometimes.

Have you ever been told your dreams are unrealistic? Or, the choices you make in the career you choose will greatly effect you? In this world, not many of us are taken seriously because we are chasing dreams rather than looking over tests that require us to take the time we have in school seriously. What we don't know is that it's ok to chase after dreams, but to also have a clear conscious when meeting at the turning lane of where to go next.

In this world, we're told to do our best, but sometimes our best isn't enough. To the dreamers out there, don't be afraid to reach your goals; no matter how unrealistic. Set up a game plan to get yourself there. It helps to have GPS where ever your dream is. Be the big dreamer you've always been, set those goals and make yourself run to that finish line. Come graduation day, when some have an idea of where they're going, what would be your calling? Where would you go and what would you do?

With those careers that are unrealistic and hard to come by, it can seem like it is oceans away. It seems close, but it truly isn't, unless you have connections and money to make yourself known. It's hard to make it anywhere, even as a doctor, lawyer, and president. Making it in Congress is even hard. Every career you set your mind to, it's going to be hard. There are no easy routes to take in order to get to the dream you've had growing up.

Reaching a goal is important because of the sense of relief that comes with the realization that you've finished a task that has taken a while to finish. The realization of achieving a goal is so rewarding because it gives you that feeling of accomplishment. The excitement that comes with wanting something is a feeling only those who want to be successful get

If you truly seek to be the next doctor, lawyer, or even entertainer, set a game plan. Don't feel bad if you don't make it right away, it happens with time. Without a game plan, our world would not be what it is today.

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.
