The Best Years Come After College

It all begins after you get your diploma

The Best Years Come After College
Public Broadcasting

It's crazy to think that in one month I will be heading into my last year of college. I thought it would take forever to get here, but it came much quicker than I expected. While most people are scared and using this last year as their time to have as much fun as possible, I'm excited.

I'm excited to start my career and I'm excited to move somewhere that is more fitting for me. What I'm trying to say is I'm ready to start my life. I'm ready for a job and for me and my little pup to find a place that is meant for us. I'm sure my friends will say," this is the best four years of your life!" But I disagree. I think the best years of my life are yet to come. The best is starting a career, meeting the love of your life, getting married, and starting a life of your own.

We spend four years taking exams, stressing about not acing a test and now its time for the real world to start. It's time to use what I have learned in the real world. It's time to show possible bosses that this is what I think is going to be the best years of my life. It's going to be a crazy journey and I can't wait to see where I end up.

We also spend four years making friends that will be forever. I have met some incredible people over the past few years, and I know that the bond we have is like no other and we can make it through so many things. That's why I'm not scared about college ending.

Lastly we spend four years having so many fun experiences. We have been able to go cliff jumping at the Ithaca Gorges, going out every day of the week, enjoying a few too many drinks with great friends and living with the people that helped define who you are.

College has been a great ride, but I don't believe it to be the best four years of my life. I have the world out there that I am waiting to explore, and I have even more experiences that I can't wait to dive into. So here's to the best years that are going to come, the experiences, the people and more importantly the journey.

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.
