For Anybody Stressing About School

You have the right to feel how you want to feel

You don't have to be a senior to stress about your future.

I know that is finals week and no one wants to read an article that is about it, unless it is funny. I get it, I'm one of them too.

On the other hand, I have the need to share my worries with someone and the vast majority of my friends are busy with exams and papers, which, again, I get. Hence the article.

I've have been having a hard time to get people to relate to my uncertainties, maybe because everybody is too caught up in their world or because they simply don't want to think about the future or they are in denial; all plausible.

Even in my ritual calls to my family they tell me to not wrry about it and live in the present, although I've always worked in order to get a more prosperous future under their advice. So you can imagine my confusion on the matter.

It is perfectly okay if you aren't in your final year of high school or college and worry about your carreer. Don't let people belittle your anxiety because the future is "too far away" for you to stress about. Just because the end of one part of your education isn't immediate, it doesn't mean you don't have the right to be apprehensive.

If you feel like you need to express your worries, do it. Don't let people persuade you into thinking and feeling something that you are not feeling in that moment. You do you, and I mean it in the least sarcastic way possible.

Don't let anyone change your emotional status about anything, unless it is what you want. I cannot stress, no pun intended, this enough.

Your mental health is more important than what people want you do to or how they want you to act in public. Please, be your beautiful self. You'll feel so much better afterward. There's always a time to stress about some aspect of your life, you need it in order to cope and once you have acknowledged it, move on to more cheerful thoughts.

I really hope this all over the place article helps some of you a little bit.

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.
