An Open Letter To High School Seniors

Ok so half of the year is over the thought of graduation comes closer and closer every day, week, and month that past by. I know what it feels like I have been there.

The first thing I want to talk about is not to worry about the future because it will all happen on its own but the biggest thing is make sure you are happy. Making yourself happy is the thing you can do for yourself because it brings out the best in you and no one can take that away.

The next thing I want to say is do what you want to in college. Don't follow a major that makes money if you aren't going to be happy doing it. Don't make yourself wake up in the future and go to a job that you hate because you shouldn't have to. If you want to go to school for music do it. If you want to go for art do it. If people weren't successful in these career paths there wouldn't be a major for it. Don't let you high school guidance counselor scare you because I can tell you I learned from experience. When I was going to high school I thought computers is what I wanted to do with the rest of my life but it really wasn't and I knew this because I wasn't happy.

The next is the summer ahead of you enjoy it because you will regret if you don't. This is your last summer before college starts and make sure you have the best time of your life. Pull all nighters, go camping and just live life on the edge because you will have all the memories when you go off to college.You can make a photo chain around your dorm off all the things you did this summer and everyday you will take jog around memory lane or when you are upset you can look and laugh at all the goofy pictures.

Always remember live life on the edge and take chances becuase those are the times you will always remember for the rest of your life!

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.
