Preparing for Graduation, As Told by 'Shameless'
NBC

For all of my fellow soon-to-be graduates, you know the struggle of having to consider what comes next in your life. Here are the stages leading up to that dreaded yet exciting day.

1. "Is it March already?"

Time flies when you're having fun...and by fun I mean stressing over thesis and midterms.


2. "Should I start looking for a job?"

The choice is yours, but at least this way you can have more time to get used to rejection emails.


3. "What if I don't actually graduate?"

Where there's a will there is a way...although that will is hard to find.


4. "How am I going to keep in touch with all my friends?"

Frank may not have friends, but you do and all you have to do is set aside time to make visits and keep in touch.


5. "I JUST WANT TO SLEEP."

Living your best life sure is tiring.


6. "I JUST WANT TO PARTY."

Sometimes you just need a night out with your friends to remember how amazing college really is.


7. "I better make the most of these next two months."

Now is the time to make as many memories as possible and take advantage of every opportunity.


8. "Where the hell am I going to live?"

These are the types of questions that will keep you up at night.


9. "How do I do adult things?"

I don't know how to do taxes or apply for an apartment, but I do have an overpriced textbook on philosophy that I looked at once.


10. "I'm not ready for this at all."

If Sheila can leave the house, you will find a way to make it through.


11. "Alright, I can do this."

You've had four years to prepare for this, you're ready!


12. "I'm out."


Graduation is coming, whether you want it to or not.

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.
