How Am I Already A Senior In College?

I am almost positive that it was just yesterday that I was graduating high school. I remember being so eager and so excited for adventures that awaited me. In the blink of an eye, I…I’m a senior in college?

Looking back, I don’t even feel like the same person. Completely different friend groups, new style, switched my major four times and not afraid to be away from home.

Being a senior in high school was so cool! Being the big dog on campus. Being a senior in college? That is so scary! I don’t even know where the library is on campus, how can I be the big dog on campus?

I am so close to being thrown into the real world. So close to being a real adult. The truth is the real world is as foreign to me as Sephora is to my dad.

I am so scared but excited and so ready for the roller coaster of a year to begin but really….. how am I already a senior in college?


I still get lost on campus, not to mention driving around town.

My mom still has to help me with my citations on papers.

What are taxes? Do I HAVE to do them? When are they due?

I don’t budget my money any better than I did four years ago.

Guess I’ll learn some hard lessons in money management!

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE.

I came to school as a theater major, changed to journalism, switched my major to a minor, added another minor. I’ve done three internships but now I think I’m heading in a completely different direction. yikes!!

I don’t remember how to make new friends.

My sorority sisters have been my life-saver during the last few years and I know we’ll be friends forever but what about when I move to a new town and get a job?


I feel like I just moved in, am I going to have to move again?


Realizing there are only a few years left being on my parent's insurance

How do I get insurance? What exactly is insurance? What do I have to insure?

I’m going to make the most of every minute of my last year in college. I’ll make lasting memories. I’ll attend all the football games and cheer my Wildcat head off. I’ll go to every event I can. I hold my friends tight for an extra few seconds. I may be sad at times knowing this adventure in my life is coming to an end but be excited for the new adventures that lay ahead.

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.
