A College Senior's Final First Week Thoughts As Told By Joe Goldberg

In This Article:

Hello there. Who are you? Based on the course load, spring semester. Your first week of classes end early, yet fill me with stress. You have different sides to you. I want to experience all of those sides. You like to make the seniors feel nostalgic, reminding us all that this blissfully strained existence on a college campus is quickly coming to an end. Do you want to help me or hurt me? I have to know. Good thing I have all semester to figure you out. Your mediocre meals and vending machine Starbucks triple-shots fuel my motivation. Yet your thirsty Thursdays allow me to experience a short-lived sense of ferocious freedom. Regardless of how hungover I will be Friday morning, I still have to attend class. It's like you have me on a leash. I guess I'll have to deal with it for now. I'll see you in the morning, You.

Looking at how busy your last semester schedule is like...

When you are receiving constant class notifications...

Trying to motivate yourself to do work by saying...

Then distracting yourself from homework by posting on social media.

Passing people you recognize from freshman year but have no recollection of who they are.

Realizing that you got a 100% on your open note ​syllabus quiz...

and then proceeding to treat yourself as a reward...

to then realize that you don't have the money to treat yourself...

but continue to do it anyway.

Trying to motivate yourself to stay in your classes and graduate by saying...

then realizing that after this semester, college is over.

Starting off your thirsty Thursday at 7 pm like...

and then wondering why your friend looks like this by 11 pm.

How you're feeling when you go to bed that night with the spinnies.

Waking up on Friday morning at 10 am like...

and rushing to your class that starts at 10:10.

How you sit in the back of the classroom pretending like you're not hungover...

and your internal rage when your teacher calls you out on it.

Trying to find your future knowing you're graduating in a few months.

Finally realizing that its your very last semester so you have to make it the best one yet.

So with all that's said and done, you very well might be the best thing to ever happen to me. I am infatuated with you. I am obsessed with you. I gotta soak you up before you slip through the cracks of my fingers. Because soon, love, you will be in the past.

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.
