How To Handle Senior Year Stress
Cassidy Garren

College is stressful enough already, but thinking about the future and what to do after graduation is very stressful. When getting into your senior year it feels like everyone has a set plan on what they are going to do after graduation. Do not worry, plans change and it may feel like you are the only one without an idea of what to do, but trust me you aren't. Towards the end of senior year is when you should start knowing what you are wanting to do, and you don't need to have every little detail completely figured out. If you go into the year stressed out, you will just continue to get more stressed and it will make things harder in the long run.

Making sure to just focus on all the classes you need to take is important, but also having fun while in your last year of college is very important. You're about to graduate from a school that you just spent the last four years of your life at. Take time to do fun things around campus and hang out with your college friends. People go their separate ways after college so it is important to spend time with everyone you can all while preparing to graduate.

College feels like it goes by so fast and it is important to appreciate all the little things before you graduate. Do not fully stress about the future because then you will not get to enjoy your last year as a college student. Everything will work out and fall into place so it is important to not continuously worry about everything. Just take time, focus on classes and enjoy the last year of your college experience, because before you know it will be over and I guarantee you will miss 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.
