Dear Rowan, As I Graduate College
Alyssa Paluch

Dear Rowan,

I want you to know this: I had the best years of my life here. I'm not saying that I didn't have any tough times. I most definitely did, but I had the most fun here. For that, thank you.

As I graduate college, know that you have not seen the last of me. You're lucky enough to have me again for another two years as I become a Master in Education. You get to take more of my money, and I get to make more memories.

I am really scared for the real world, so that's actually why I wanted to start another school journey here in Glassboro. This place has taught me many things, and I feel the most comfortable at Rowan. It's a great place to be.

Every college has its flaws. The past four years was very stressful, to say the least. I'm sure these flaws will improve or get better. I hope some of the flaws are completely eliminated by the time I'm long gone.

I've made many friends and done many things. I was a part of student activities on campus; I worked and volunteered with them. I've lived in four places and lived with people new and old. I was happy, sad, frustrated, stressed, angry... and now that it's over, I can't help but feel proud.

I've got to say, you put me through hell, but as always, I could somehow handle it and get through it. With the support from my family and friends, it was actually a piece of cake, even though in those moments it felt like the end.

So, Rowan, as I graduate college, I want you to know that much it meant to me. You were my first-choice school for a reason. Although it was bumpy at times, and I mean super bumpy, I can't thank you enough for helping me achieve my goals and dreams.

I can't wait to say that I am a college graduate.

Thank you so much for the best four years of my life.

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.
