I don't know how to feel.

The Last Semester Of College Is A Big Dumpster Fire Of Emotions

In two days I will walk into my 10:30 a.m. class, sit down, listen to my professor go over the syllabus, and officially begin my last semester of college.

College was not like high school for me. I didn't want it to go fast or to end. I'm not eager to "get out there in the real world" and "become an adult" like I was when I packed up and moved into my freshman dorm at UCF. Because now, I actually have to become an adult - not a half-adult living in a world where I have the pleasure of enjoying the freedoms with no financial responsibility. Now, it's real.

However, while I am terrified, I am more excited than ever. There's something thrilling about having no idea where I will be living in four months. Will it be my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio? Near my parents in Naples, Florida? With my boyfriend in Ft. Lauderdale? Or somewhere else? As of now, I am clueless. My only plan is to accept a job offer that allows me to use my skills in photography and videography - hopefully in sports - but I'm not going to be too picky. That's if I get any job offers at all.

This last semester is going to be rough. Not only because I am taking 18 credit hours and interning at the Golf Channel 20 hours a week, but also because it will be emotionally draining. Finding the time to excel in all of my roles and courses as well as make the most out of my last semester and go out with a bang is going to be hard. Really hard.

But I know I can do it. I have four months to enjoy the privileges I have as a college student until I'm hustling just to pay rent as a journalist post-graduation. And I need to make it the best four months yet.

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.
