So you're a senior. And you have just began your second semester. You are pretty happy about it because the light at the end of the tunnel is in full view. But, you have noticed some distinct changes between now and last semester. You dress differently, you act differently. It's like a completely different school year, altogether.

Doing work:

First semester: I have 20 supplements to write, I made a schedule and I'm going to do 4 each day and edit them in my sleep, I'll get it all done and have time to do all my school work too.

Second semester: How much work can I ignore before I get kicked out of school.

Getting to school on time:

First semester: I would go in late so that I can get some work done in the morning, but I can’t because then I’ll fall behind in that class.

Second semester: I’m sleeping in today. Again.

Being at school

First semester: Walking around like you own the place.

Second semester: Walking around like you own the place.

Getting asked about college

First semester: Don’t ask unless you want a 2-hour-long explanation followed by an emotional breakdown.

Second semester: Either you know and you can’t wait, or you’re waiting to here. Either way, you’re much calmer.

Clothes

First semester: I have somehow managed to wear real clothes for weeks.

Second semester: is 4 days of wearing sweatpants too much for one week?

Study Hall

First semester: I wrote an entire novel series in 42 minutes.

Second semester: 5 minutes of work is too much, I’ll just sit here.

Leaving

First semester: You are so ready to be done.

Second semester: You’re getting a little nostalgic. Even if you won’t admit 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.
