My final semester

I am about to register for my final semester and cannot believe how fast time has gone.

My final semester
BusinessGhost

Well, its here. In just two short weeks I will be registering for my final semester of college. How did it get here so fast and why do I still feel like I belong in the freshman dorms freaking out about my college writing class. In reality, the only things I'm freaking out about now are my senior project and getting a job after graduation. I'm going to be an adult. Though I still get told that I look like I am twelve, I am actually very soon going to be taking on the real world. Am I ready?

I'm determined and I know what I am passionate about. I know where I want to be in ten years, my only problem is finding the best road to get there. I know it takes time to reach dreams, but I hold them so close to me that I just want to live them now.

I'm currently in the midst of writing my senior project, and as each page is finished, I see myself getting closer and closer to graduation. In just a few short months, I will no longer be a college student. I will be a college graduate, though I know I will never truly finish learning.

I want to continue to learn and grow throughout my career just as I have learned and grown throughout my years as a student. People say it all the time, but time truly does fly. I remember my first day of kindergarten so clearly and now I am about to embark on my last semester of school.

Being proud of how far I have come is an understatement. I very nearly transferred when I was a freshman because of how lonely and unhappy I was at my current school. I had no friends, I missed home, and I was in a completely new place. Fast forward to now, I love New York and I'm glad I decided to stay. I have friends, a job, an internship, and good grades. I put myself on a happier track and really figured out how to turn my college experience around.

I finished all of my requirements and now only need eight credits to graduate. So, I've made it so I can have a relatively fun last semester. I plan on being a TA in Zumba, continuing to work as a social media intern on campus, work as an office assistant, and finish up my senior project. This is the final stretch, and I want to finish out strong.

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.
