4 Things I Need To Know As Senior Year Begins And Summer Ends
Chelsea Wojciechowski

It is so sad that summer is coming to an end. All the adventures that have happened this summer will be things I will never forget. But now I have to get serious as it comes to my senior year in college. It flew by so quickly, my whole college career and I wouldn't change it for the world. But now I need to buckle down and figure out my life. Here are a few things I need to get in line before the year starts.

1. Start looking at places for my certificate.

For being a child life specialist, I need to go to another school for one more course I need to get my certificate. I need to start applying so I can do my observation hours in the hospital. Being a child life specialist means that I work with children in hospitals and play with them, or help them if they are scared. It will be a very rewarding job and a combination of the two majors I had before.

2. Thank my parents for everything.

My parents have done so much for me in the past 3 and half years while in school. I cannot thank them enough for being behind me in any decision that I have made. I knew all along they wanted my best interest in heart and would push me to be the best that I could be. College would not have been the same without them behind me.

3. Thank my sisters for believing in me.

My sisters' were my rock when I transferred from SHU to Rowan. They were the ones I was able to lean on when times got rough and not being at home. My life has completely changed because I met all these wonderful women who have helped me grow into who I am today. Life would be very different without my little and my Big (who has recently graduated from Sacred Heart!) Thanks again for being my home away from home.

4. Prepare to go into the real world.

My life has gone so quick in school. I love school and it will be sad to leave but I cannot wait to go into the real world. Yes, I know it will be tough in the beginning and that I will need my parents to help. But life will get better and I know that life will be great in the long run.

College is so great and I wish it did not fly by as fast as it did. But now it is time for me to get a job and to grow up. My life is great and I know that it will only get better from here.

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.
