APPLYING TO COLLEGE: A GIF SUMMARY

You're a senior. You're rocking this high school thing.


(or so you think.)

Then your school counselor comes.

\

"What does she want?"

She starts saying weird acronyms like SAT and ACT.

Turns out you have to pay for these "tests."


They will also take up 5 hours on a Saturday.


You show up at 8 AM, calculator in hand.


"I'm Here."

You look at the test and realize you are not prepared at all.



You get your scores EIGHT WEEKS LATER?!?!?


Another shot?



Not after that disaster.

Now you have to actually apply for college.


You look to your friends for guidance.


That essay has to be 1000 words?!


You know you'll ace that teacher's recommendation though. They all love you.


Finally you finish, realizing you really haven't done anything during high school.



Now you wait.


And wait.


Aaaaand wait.



THE LETTER COMES. YOU EITHER MADE IT OR YOU DIDN'T.



OHHH YEAH!!! YOU DID IT! YOU GOT ACCEPTED!



Now all you need is money!!



Good luck future students! You're going to need it.

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.
