Living In The Moment

I'm not too worried about what the future holds, and that's ok.

It's the end of my sophomore year of college and there's lots to worry about. Summer internships, moving off campus into a new home, preparing for the upcoming school year, even preparing for what lies ahead after college. Yes, all of these things are very important and should be planned out, but how 'planned out' do these plans have to be?

I believe in a happy medium.

I did plan for a summer internship. But I'm not worrying if it will develop into a job opportunity later down the road. If it does, great! If it doesn't, oh well.

I found a new home for next year, but instead of worrying if I'll stay for the next two years I'm just going to enjoy the time that I have in that new home.

The upcoming school year will kill me, but it is also all major classes, which is all I wanted since freshmen year. So i'm not going to complain. I'm going to enjoy it and be grateful for every second of it. Life, I guess my main point that I'm trying to say here is that people worry way too much. They worry about the future and what lies ahead but really, it excites me. Instead of worrying and planning so far ahead I just chose to live in the moment and enjoy what I have in front of me. Will everything last? Will everything work out? Maybe! But if it doesn't, more oppurtunities lie ahead. You know what they say...when a door closes, another one opens. Life opens up when you do, and simply enjoy every second of it. Life, let alone college, only happens once. So make the best of it! Live in the moment.

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.
