11 Realizations That Are All Too Real When It's Your Last Semester
Buzzfeed

Sitting in class, you think of all the things you have to do. These are your last few months as a college student, because come December you have to be a real adult. It's both exciting but also scary as hell. Here are some thoughts you're likely to have, if you haven't already, in the months to come.

1. At this point, you're so over it, class feels pretty pointless.

2. So much to do, so little time.

On top of your regular work and school load, you now have to find time to prepare for graduation. How can I possibly find an outfit, decorate my cap, take pictures, and send out announcements by the second week of December?

3. It's finally time to have the career center help you with your resume.

Despite endless hours spent working on your resume, you just can't get it right. I mean who even knows how to do these things anyway? Oh yeah, there's a place on campus that does! I've been meaning to go there for years now.

4. Soon you're going to have to pay for everything...on your own.

5. Oh yeah, and in six months you will have to start paying back that money that got you through the last four (or more) years.

6. "The best time of your life" is quickly coming to an end.

College has really flown by, and the last four years are one big blur.

7. You need to find a big girl/boy job, but you actually have no idea what you want to do.

8. You've almost completed your education and that is a huge accomplishment.

9. You own one business causal outfit.

You thought regular clothes were expensive...you had no idea.

10. It's time for another major life change and you're not sure how to feel.

Whether or not you like change, it's always a little scary. It's okay to be nervous!

11. After graduation, you are officially a "real" adult, whether you like it or not.


So heres to all the soon-to-be college graduates. Don't worry, we got this, guys! We'll figure this whole adult-ing thing out eventually. In the time being, enjoy what's left of your last semester, and have fun.

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.
