No Dream Is Too Big

Get out there and do it

I graduate from college in 220 days but who's counting right? It's that point of my college career where I'm bombarded with the heavy question of "what am I going to do now?" For those students in the same position as me, or will be in the next few years, you'll find yourself in this dazed confusion of unanswered questions. I know where I want to be five or ten years from now, but how do I get there? How do I make those next steps? How do I actually "adult?"

I don't really think anyone has those answers and that might just be the joy of life.

So where exactly do I want to be in ten years? I want to be the owner of a child care and family service center. I'm on the fence about becoming a non-profit, but my ultimate goal is to provide services and child care to low-income and needy families. Services like financial counseling, family/individual therapy, educational and career opportunities, tutoring for school-aged children and other services down to child care.

It's a pretty ambitious goal that's for sure, but I'm passionate about giving aid to low-income families. It's a dream I can accomplish and I am motivated and determined to not give it up.

It doesn't matter what your dream or goals are after college. It doesn't matter if you even know what you plan to do after graduation. One day, you'll get there. If your goals are small and focus on each day at a time or are focused on the big picture, eventually you will get there with hard work and a huge amount of effort. Becoming the person you want to be or achieving all your goals is going to be the hardest part of the journey. You and I will want to give up every day. Nothing you imagine is ever too big or too ambitious.

As the cliche goes, "If you can dream it you can do it."

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.
