Emotions Of Someone On The Verge Of Graduation

As I write this, less than two days from my own, the cornucopia of emotions I, and all my fellow graduates, must feel is endless: excitement, pride, apprehension and a fear of the unknown. But nonetheless, we have all achieved something truly great. Here we are, class of 2016: graduation.

Congratulations, we did it.

Soon, if not already, all your family and friends will be asking you what your plans are post-graduation. But you're just like...

All you want the next few months to consist of are...

And...


Go ahead, you deserve it. Graduating college is tough - everyone needs a little R & R. But under that happy, celebratory exterior, a dark cloud hangs over your head. As you know, or will suddenly realize...


Being a student, everything you have known your whole life, is over. Time to be a productive adult.

OK, relax, don't stress, you got this...right?

Maybe not.

But we can't stay college students forever. It's time to join the real world and be a productive member of society.

Don't worry, you'll get out there and find that dream job in no time.

Ok, maybe not no time...it actually might take quite a bit of time. In the meantime, maybe don't go doing this just yet...


And once you do land that first great job, all the hard work will be worth it.

And you'll feel like a million bucks.

Congrats again to my fellow graduates. Good luck!

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.
