If you are reading this you are probably a junior or senior in college about to make your way into the real world. You probably don't want to crash at your parent's house any longer and you definitely want to start putting the skills you've learned the past few years to the test.

So the search for the job or internship has begun.

Because you need money to start paying off the student loans and all the other bills that will soon follow.

Or you need an internship in order to graduate.

You have to admit that you feel pretty lost. Maybe even like you are the only one who doesn't know where they are going to end up.


You've realized "Expert" level on Guitar Hero isn't something of value for future employers.

So, you find other ways to sell yourself.

And you clean up your social media pages.

You find it is impossible to find a job or internship that doesn't require prior experience.

You can't seem to find your dream job or internship.

Some applications and descriptions use terminology that you don't understand.

You think you found "the one," but you still apply to others to cover your base.

It has been a week since you applied and you haven't heard back.

Your support team attempts to motivate you.

But you receive a call from the business to come in for an interview.

The interview is set up and you are about as prepared you can be.

And I hope this is how you feel when you leave that office.

Remember future job employers may look at your social media profiles and you should always prepare for interviews by prepping with questions. Happy job hunting.

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.
