I don’t have my future plans set yet, and that’s okay

The only thing that truly matters is what will make you happy.

Between high school and the beginning of your college career, a lot needs thought on. There is also a lot of expectations from those around you. The only thing that truly matters is what will make you happy. What do you want to do? 

I for one, am waiting a year to go to college. Trust me, I thought I had it all figured out. Different high school courses made me change my mind. I can't decide between three potential life (career) paths. Like I said I thought I knew what I wanted for a long time, but I was introduced to bigger, different perspectives.  

No, You do not need to have everything set. You are young, if you're either entering adult hood or a young adult. Plenty of kids dive in to college undecided and that's okay. Plenty of people change their major, that's also okay. You make your own decisions. If your mind changes multiple times, who is to judge you? It's your future, make it worth your while. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be doing something I truly enjoy in life rather than being miserable somewhere that isn't me.

If you don't even see yourself going to college, there is other options for your future. Some people are just set on the family life, nothing wrong with that. Undecided if you want to go into the military or not? Think about. If you are interested in something even if in a small amount, look into whatever it is, you may change your mind. 

Whatever it is, you should take the time to think about, take notes on, review things, for what you want in your future. No matter what you have time. This is your life. Your the one that has to deal with your decisions. Make it worth your while. Don't let people's "You don't know what you're doing yet?!", "You're halfway through hs senior year, what're you doing!", "You changed your major?!" hold you back, you do what you got to do. Take your time.

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.
