Why It Is 1000x Harder To Say 'Goodbye' To Your Graduating College Friends

Springtime on college campuses is always busy. From projects to club meetings, students are constantly running from building to building working to get to the end of the semester.

For seniors, that end of the semester stress is multiplied by 1,000. They're done in a couple of months. Not done until August, but fully complete with their degrees.

I'm not ready for my senior friends to graduate. It is completely different than when your senior friends graduated high school.

When your senior friends graduated high school, it was sad. You wouldn't be seeing some of your best friends on a daily basis, but there was always coming home for breaks from college. Most of your graduating class (or their parents) still live in your hometown. There's always a chance that you will see an old friend at your local grocery store.

But when your senior college friends graduate, it's a whole new, big world.

Your friends that you met at college came from all over the place. Your college is your shared commonplace. Without it, what is the likelihood that you would have met?

True friends will stay in contact even if they're halfway across the country working while you are still stuck on campus waiting for graduation.

Hopefully, for you and your friends, graduation doesn't mean "Goodbye" but instead "See you later."

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.
