Time

You don't realize how much time has passed until you are reminded.

Time
Presley Cranston

Time is something that I have had a hard time wrapping my mind around. A new realization has came to me about time, and it's that you don't realize how much time has passed until you are reminded.


My senior year of college has had me in my feels thinking about how fast time has passed, and how fast time has gone. (Is this what getting old feels like? HELP.)


Over the last month, I have been caught up in the every day struggles and stresses of school. During this time, I have forgot to look at all of the positives that are happening all around me. I may have been stressing about an exam, but looking back at photos from the same day I may see that I went out to dinner with a friend I haven't seen in awhile or went to a game with my family.


Those days where you are stressed or worried, can also be days where you had fun, made memories, and enjoyed the people you were around. Time has a weird play in your life. Days go slow, but weeks go fast. Suddenly you are looking back at memories and realizing a lot of time has passed.


I am a huge believer in living in the moment. I love to be surrounded by my favorite people, making memories that I will always cherish. I like to think that I make the most of every day, but I am kicking myself because I feel I haven't been lately.
Senior year of college has had a lot of phases. I have went through the "senior year: live it up" phase, the "senior year: i'm too old to be here" phase, the "senior year: i'm too tired to go out" phase, and now the "senior year: I NEED TO FIND A JOB" phase.


It's a stressful time in my life, but why stress what I can't control?


This article is a reminder for myself, but also for you. We all need a little reminder to live in the moment, cherish everyday, and fill your days with as many memories and pictures as you can! (And to send your resume to a job or two along the way.)

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.
