A New Journey Ahead: Life After Graduation

In just a few months, some of us will have a degree under our belt. A bachelors in English, communications, biology, archeology, music, education, and more. With hard work and dedication, our majors and minors will help us obtain careers and do things that we were meant to do. Our time in college will be missed but not forgotten. The late night study sessions. The movie nights with our friends. The dinners at our favorite hangouts. The happy hours after a long day of classes. The meetings for all of the clubs or groups we were part of. We will leave between friends that won't graduate until May or even the next few years. We will also leave behind people who have taught us and enlighten us on our fields of study. These professors have been important influences during our college careers. However, again, we will still have these memories to remember and look back upon.

Some of us already have plans after we graduate while some of us don't. It's ok. There is still time. You don't have to start "adulting" until after December 18. Life will be different. New expectations will arise. New adventures as college gradates. We will become working class adults. We won't have that 2 hour Netflix break after class. We probably won't have our best friends living next store. Therefore, we should appreciate the time we have as seniors, or even super seniors, to enjoy our last few months of college.

Some of us may be anxious to get out into the "real" world to discover ourselves. Or some may be scared to begin a new chapter in our lives. Just remember, it will take time to adapt to these things. Everything will fall in place eventually.

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.
