The Three Things That Scare me About Graduating

No more all nighters in the lib or walking to class in below freezing temperatures! Graduating is right around the corner and so exciting, but these three things make me nervous about entering the adult world.

One: Not Getting Enough Exercise

I've recently become a bit of a gym rat. Between classes you can find me biking or using the elliptical. After classes I'm usually lifting weights or going to a HIIT class, even without all of this, I usually walk around 3 miles a day just to get to and from class. I'm SO nervous that a 9 to 5 job sitting at a desk is going to tack on a lot of extra weight. I feel like after a long day of work it takes a lot of dedication to get into the gym. Maybe I need to find something like Cyclebar to hold me accountable.


This being said, I love fitness classes, so if anyone has any suggestions similar to Cyclebar, let me know! I used to go to Planet Fitness, but I really like the class setting.


Two: Finding my Own Health Insurance

I've been pretty independant since I started my college career, paying for my car insurance and payment, rent, phone plan, etc. So I would say I have a decent handle on managing my money, but the idea of finding my own health insurance and finding which one is best for me terrifies me. Not only finding one, but does it have everything I need? I've been going to the same dentist since I was six, what if my new insurance doesn't cover them? Stress.

Three: Moving Away From my Best Friends

The last four years have been spent around some of the best, most uplifting people in the world. One of my best friends is going abroad, one out west, even the others will be "close" at only 5 hours away. I am constantly surrounded by people my age with common interests now, and I'm so scared I won't be as happy without having that. I know I can continue my relationships with them, but I know it would be the same.

What am I going to do without watching The Bachelor every Monday??

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
