It's so sad, but so true.

If You Don't Have An Immediate Plan After College, You Are A Pathetic Loser Who Will Never Be Successful In Life

Everyone, it's all true. Your worst fears are about to be realized. Everything that every pessimistic jerk has told you for the past four years is actually a completely true fact. You didn't want to believe these things, but now you have no choice. Yep, it's all true. If you graduate college without a clearly laid out plan as to where your life will take you, then you are a sad, pathetic loser who will never amount to anything for as long as you live.

I know, I know. It may seem hard to take in, but now is the time to breathe it all in and come to the realization that unless your life is planned out perfectly from moment to moment for years and years after you graduate, then you have just wasted the past four years that you spent in college.

After all, college is by no means a time to explore your interests and expand your mind. Heck no, college is a time to gain the skills necessary for becoming a mindless drone in the corporate world. If you don't have some "real world" job lined up immediately after graduation, then congratulations on being a gigantic waste of space.

All of those obnoxious people telling you this all along were absolutely right, even if you would rather not admit it. Forget about enjoying the last days of your college career. Forget about the fact that even after you graduate, you still have the rest of your life to figure out exactly who you want to be and what you want to do. Stop thinking pointless thoughts, such as the idea that it's okay to not have a complete and definite post-graduation plan.$

You either have your life completely figured out after graduation, or you don't. But if you don't, then you never will. It's as simple as that. Don't listen to the people who will try and tell you that you're still young and you still have all the time in the world to forge your own path and try to make something of yourself. Don't listen to the people who tell you that having a college degree is a huge accomplishment in itself, no matter what the degree is in.

If they tell you that the degree will pay off eventually even if you don't have definite post-graduation plans, stop listening to them immediately. If you have any moment of post-college uncertainty, then make no mistake, your life is already over. Remember, the person that you are immediately after you graduate is the same person that you will be for the rest of your life. You have no more opportunities to change. College is your last chance to ever grow as a person, so if you are not the person that you were always meant to be as soon as you graduate, then sorry, but you're completely out of luck.

If you intend to graduate soon, be prepared. Your life will soon begin, for better or for worse. The world is a scary, horrible place that will you eat you alive, chew you up for a while, and then spit you back out, or at least whatever is left of you at that point. So you know, at least we all have that to one day look forward to.

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.
