To My Graduating Senior: As Told By "Harry Potter"

Graduation is just around the corner, and everyone is getting the jitters. This is a time that is not only scary for the people graduating, but also for the younger friends who are going to miss seeing the senior they look up to on campus every day.

1. It still hasn't hit me that you're graduating.

Why didn't you fail any of your classes to stay with me? Don't you love me?

2. When you told me you found a job, I cringed a little inside because I knew it meant you were really moving away.

What will I do when I am passing your (old?) building. I'm sure I will knock a few times out of habit forgetting that you are not on the other side of the door.

3. The name of your new employer is like saying "Voldermort."


Anything that takes you away from me is evil

4. But I am also extremely proud of you for getting employed.

No one has worked harder or is more deserving than you.

5. I'm always going to be proud to wear our school colors knowing that they brought me to you.

You shaped me into the person I am today, and for that I am forever grateful. The college workload is super overwhelming, and you taught me how to manage it with minimal mental breakdowns.

6. You always knew when I needed an extra push outside of my comfort zone.

But you also always let me make my own decisions.

7. And you taught me the truth about college.

It is worth suffering through to have met you.

8. You took care of me at my worst, and you celebrated with me at my best.

I am grateful for all of our memories, both good and bad.


9. I'm still lost and confused as to how I will get through the rest of college without you by my side.

Maybe you can stay in college with me and also work? At least consider the idea.

10. I also know that you will kick-ass in the real world.

No matter if it is a rocky road, I will always be proud of you.

11. I expect numerous texts and phone calls from you updating me on your life.

And you can expect the same from me.

12. Please never forget us little people when you go and take the world by storm.

I am envisioning you getting your own TV show because your life will be so awesome everyone will want to live vicariously through you.


13. We will never forget you and remember, I will always be here for you.

I love you and am so proud of everything you have accomplished!

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.
