10 Realizations You Have About Being More Than Halfway Through College, As Told By Jessica Day

In This Article:

You're graduating less than a year from now? Shut your face...

1. You realize you have to make an appointment with career services

You really thought you could figure out what you want to do with your life on your own, but you can't.

2. You hear other people say they're graduating early (and feeling ready to) 

You, on the other hand, don't even feel like you'll be ready to graduate after a normal four years.

3. You realize maybe your calling is to drop out and be a stripper!

Nah, you actually really want to use your Communications major.

4. You're suddenly nostalgic about everything that's happened to you the last two and a half years (good and bad) 

You kind of wish you could relive it all.

5. You feel a sudden burst of energy to work on your resume 

You'll never be perkier and more prepared to work than you are today.

6. You feel the need to "dance out" all your woes

Shake it off.

7. You realize you may need to get better at communicating, to, you know, fulfill your major's requirements

Giphy

Hell yeah!

8. You start convincing yourself of all the ways you've grown since starting college

You're so fun! And college did that to you!

9. You think back to your dorkier, darker times...

High school you? You don't know her. Or remember her.

10. And realize you're on the right path to adulthood 

Giphy

Woot!

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.
