As seniors, we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but with that comes the senior slump. Going to class, turning in assignments and studying for tests just seem like way to much, we paid our dues and we are just waiting to get out of here. The senior slump sucks but it so important to remember this isn't high school anymore, our grades matter until they hand us that diploma. Not graduating because you failed a class your senior year would be a miserable way to end your college career, so I wanted to share some tips on finishing strong.

Get Motivated - Set long and short term goals for yourself. Your long term goal post-grad can be anything from getting a job to going to med school or grad school. Short term goals can work as mile stones that you can hit throughout the semester so you are on track.

Stay Healthy- Getting sick will definitely throw you off your game. Make sure you are eating right and sleeping. One all-nighter could throw off your entire body chemistry. You want to make sure that you are ready to go and full of energy.

Plan for the Future- After you get that degree you need to have a game plan and its best to get started sooner rather than later. If you still aren't sure what your next step is going to be, sit down with your adviser and make a plan for what your next steps are going to be post-grad.

Have Fun- This is your last year of college, make the most of it. Be with your friends, go have a ton of fun and make lasting memories. But just remember, everything in moderation!

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.
