Graduation can be a stressful and exciting time for many. You are closing another chapter of your life and getting ready to start a new one. You may be moving and leaving behind your friends and the town you have called home for the last four years, preparing for a 'big kid' job, and so much more. While it is safe to say you may be ready for the challenge, you can't help but look back on what these experiences taught you. Through the tears, the laughs, the stress, and all of the crazy moments, 'Friends' can perfectly represent your entire college experience from move-in day up to graduation day. Here are 9 times that 'Friends' perfectly described your life as you prepare for graduation.

When everyone keeps asking you what you are doing after college and you don’t even know the answer to that

I wish I had an answer about that, but I don't. Next question.

When you discover that job hunting is a lot harder than you thought it would be

Now you are competing against what feels like anyone and everyone. Be prepared to send out a lot of applications and just hope for the best.

When you realize you might have to leave the town you called ‘home’ for the last four years

That town has become your comfort zone, are you ready to leave it?

When you learn that your friends are moving hundreds of miles away for grad school or for a job

Instant tears

When you think about graduation day....

Will you cry? What will you wear? Who is all going to be there? Who cares, this day is about you. Smile and be ready to celebrate.

How you feel when you think about paying off student loans

Is anyone ever truly ready for the responsibility of paying bills? I can answer that, no.

When you discover the real world is not like college

Well, shit, now what?

When the semester just seems to keep going and all you want to do is get that diploma

I think we are all just trying to pass and be done with the BS already.

When you finally realize that you are so close to being done and beginning the rest of your life

It is terrifying. But, you made it this far, now go out and conquer the real world.

To all the new college grads- Congrats, you did it.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
