Even Though I'm Moving Away From Home Doesn't Mean I'll Forget Where I Came From

I recently had a conversation with my mom on the phone and she asked me why don't I just move back home when I graduate if I don't have a job by then. Well, I have multiple responsibilities here, to say the least. Home is pretty far from where I live now since I'm currently living in Pennsylvania and home is Long Island, New York. Since I'll be graduating pretty soon that means starting the job search and going on interviews not to mention my boyfriend and I just adopted a cat and my boyfriend lives here.

Moving here for school almost 4 years ago was extremely terrifying but I'm glad I did it because then I wouldn't have all the wonderful things that I have now. There are definitely some big differences between PA and NY, but I will never forget where I came from. Most of my family live on Long Island and a part of my heart will always remain there.

I know when the time comes to actually make the big move, it will be tough. I will be leaving my family who still reside there and some friends along with my pets. I know I will make it a habit of visiting them whenever I am able to and I am lucky enough to have an easy means of getting there by train. I will never forget my family and I know they have their concerns about me leaving and not visiting enough but they shouldn't be concerned because family is the most important thing for me.

Being a graduating senior the world is most certainly my oyster. Pretty soon I will have a job, an apartment and I'll be making a name for myself out in the real world. I will be sad to leave home for good, but I know that I will be back there soon and that I have a loving support team behind me to take on whatever comes next for me.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
