Final Semester Seniors, There IS A Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Although it may not seem possible, focus on more of right now and less of what's next.

Right now during your last semester of college, life seems more stressful than ever. While trying to beat senioritis by finishing up your last few credits, stressing about what the hell you're going to do with your degree, all while still trying to enjoy your last semester in college… you're wondering if the stress of it all is even worth it.

Well, the answer is yes, it is worth it. It is worth it because even if you have absolutely no idea what you're going to do after graduation, your possibilities are endless.

At this moment in time, your possibilities as infinite as they ever will be. Where will you end up living? What jobs will you interview for? Will some jobs deny me? Will I even get a job?!

Although this can be the cause of our stress and anxiety, the unknown of the future can also be so exciting.

To dream about the number of opportunities that have yet to come into our lives and the success and happiness that could come out of them makes up for all of the weight and doubt.

At this stage in our lives, we are the most vulnerable we'll ever be in our career paths. We are fresh out of college with little to no experience and a degree that basically says, "I'm supposed to be an expert in this area of study so hire me".

That being said, we are open for almost any job offer we can get. As a newbie, we have to make our way up the totem pole. We may need to be the office coffee run bitch for a while, but the opportunities to come are worth it.

Not only are the possibilities endless in our career, but in our lives in general. The places we will live, the people we will meet, and all of the life lessons we will endure.

So, as a little reminder to all my fellow soon-to-be graduates, rather than stressing about what's next, enjoy right now.

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.
