To The People Who Have It All Figured Out

I envy you because I wish I did too.

I really want to give a shout out to the those people who really have their life together, who know what they want to do for the rest of their lives and are excited to do it. Yes, I do have a job lined up and I kind of know what I want to do when I “grow up” but by no means am I excited for it. I really don’t want to leave college right now, I want to keep learning but at the same time, I kind of feel like I am ready to go.

Once I graduate, I have no clue what I am going to do with my degree. I am going to work a post-grad internship at Disney World, which I am very excited about. But after that, if I am not offered full-time employment, I really have no clue what I am going to do. That terrifies me.

Should I go back to school to get a masters, should I get a teaching certification, should I just work? All the options are on the table, but all of them scare the crap out of me. I do want to go back right away? Should I wait? I really don’t have the answers to these questions.

This is why I envy the kids that have it all figured out. They know what they want, and they go for it. I wish I had that luxury. It could be me as a person, because I am incredibly indecisive. But I feel like there is more than just that. I just wish I had a solid plan that I could follow and execute well.

Another thing I envy about the people that have their lives together is that they are excited to move on from school. I am not, at all. I feel like this is a place where I can still figure out what I want to do and how I am going to do it. Once I graduate I’m out in the real world, and that scares me. I am not good at cooking or cleaning or managing my life for that matter. College really doesn’t teach you to live outside of school rather it only teaches you how to get a job. It acts as a transition phrase and I really appreciate that, but I wish I take a class on how to survive by myself after school. But you can’t have your cake and eat it too, right?

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.
