Senior Year Of College As Told By Todd Chrisley
Starcasm

When senior year of college rolls around, there are a range of emotions and feelings. You've probably worked really hard, but you've probably also had a lot of fun, too. It all really comes down to everything you've worked for up to this point. It's your final lap, and it's time to buckle down and get serious about your plans after graduation. Here are some things you might be thinking during this time in your life as told by, none other than, Todd Chrisley.

1. I've finally made it to senior year!

These last three years have undoubtably been stressful, but you've made it this far, so why give up now? It's time to sit back and relax and enjoy your accomplishments before your professors hand out all those final syllabi. Go out with your friends and celebrate making it this far before the work load hits in full force.

2. Why did I not take these classes earlier?

There's probably that one dreaded required class that you've been putting off taking for the last several years. For me, there were two general education courses that I managed to avoid until my senior year. Do I regret this decision? Yes. However, I somehow made it through my U.S. Economic History class with an A without having much prior knowledge of either history or economics. On the down side, I start ballroom dance next week.

3. Where is all my time going?

Due to all the projects, tests, papers, internships and other responsibilities you have, you can't seem to find enough time in the day to accomplish all these things and still find time for yourself. Some weeks are worse than others, and it may seem like all your professors are getting together and planning all your due dates for the same day or week. Just keep on keeping on.

4. Do I really have to start "adulting" soon?

As you can imagine, the thought of soon having to be an adult with real responsibilities is, well, a little sickening. I used to not be able to wait to be off on my own, but now that reality is a little scary, honestly. I'm going to hold on to these last couple of months of college life with all I have.

5. When do I start applying for jobs?

Unfortunately, you probably can't live off your parents forever, so it is now time to start applying for that post-grad job. When is the best time to start the application process? I have gotten different answers from everyone I have asked. Honestly, it's probably never too early to start applying.


6. How you feel when someone asks what your post-grad plans are:

Maybe you have it all figured out already, but, then again, maybe you don't. I understand that nobody means any harm when they ask this question, and they are usually genuinely curious. However, sometimes questions like these only add stress to a college senior. Therefore, I usually don't mind if you ask me. Just know that I may not know how to answer, yet.

7. Does college have a senior skip day?

Do I get a senior skip day? No. Do I feel like I need one? Yes. Last week would've actually been the perfect time for one, but I, instead, found myself in class every day. I decided that skipping wasn't worth getting behind. After all, I've made it this far, so why screw it up now?

8. When finals start to roll around:

This is quite possibly the most stressful time of the semester. On the bright side, this is the last time you'll ever have to take a final. That is, unless you decide to go to graduate school. Then, my friend, I feel sorry for you.


9. When it's graduation day:

You've finally made it to graduation day, so give yourself a high-five or a pat on the back. All the stress of college is now behind you, and you have a bright future to look forward to.


10. The post-graduation job search:

The job search is officially on and in full force. Don't worry, you survived college, so you'll survive this. Just breathe and have faith in yourself.

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.
