Wikia

Oh, senior year. Semester after semester it seems so far away, and yet, a day will soon come when you are driving to work listening to "Long Live" by Taylor Swift and crying because you just realized everything you do this year will be for the last time. For all of time (aka 1804) Bobcats have felt the crushing despair that comes from leaving Athens. There is no way to prepare yourself for the realization that you will have to leave, but the soul-destroying show that is "Game of Thrones" is here to help you navigate the grieving process.

One day, your little junior self be floating along, loving life as a 21 year old.

You can't wait to be back in Athens, and at the top of the food chain.

Then, summer will come and someone will mention how old you are getting.

They will want to know what your plans are a year from now.

But you just start thinking of all the things you can't wait to do once you're back at school.

Your younger friends start making plans for a time when you will no longer be a student

And you realize that becoming a senior is actually the worst possible course of action.

You try to deny that graduation is a thing that would ever happen.

But it will never last.

So just do what you can to survive. Here's to you, class of 2016.

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.
