Senior year thoughts: the journey is almost over

I came to college expecting nothing and I am leaving with so much

481

I am right in the middle of my senior year of and I feel so excited I am excited to close this chapter of my life I am just happy to see what the future brings. Life may not be perfect but I'm happy and it's my senior and that is what matters. I am so thankful to God for the life He's given and I am can't thank God enough for life and for just the everyday small blessings.I went into my senior year of college with the intention to be happy and have the best senior year. I am so thankful to have a do over from my disastrous senior year and graduation. I don't want to sound repetitive or seem like I am stuck on a moment but I am so thankful to have my senior year of college and be able to have the do over I feel like I need. I've always wanted to have the senior year of my dreams. My senior year of high school was almost perfect up to the end of the year. However towards the end things began to derail and I lost the chance to have my dream summer and to close my senior year and the chapter of high school in my life. But I am so thankful for second chances college has been the second chance I needed. Everything I wasn't able to do in high school I got to do in college. In the big picture of my life I want to look back and know my last year of college was memorable and that I was able to close the book fully. I always regret not being to close my high school chapter on my terms I didn't get to do it my way. For me being able to control my own story is of very high importance. I always want to finish things on my terms. It may not always be possible but I will always try my best do things my way. To have closure in my way. I want to close the book on college my own way and have the full closure and have all the experiences I want. I never went into college expecting anything I didn't think of it as a do over for high school but as I am nearly complete with my journey in college I realize that college was a blessing for me and it was meant to be a do over for me and the opportunity for me to be my best self and live my best life. Everything that happened, was for a reason my whole journey in college has been for a reason. As cliche as it sounds I can speak that my life and journey in college is a testament to the cliche quote that "everything happens for a reason". My whole journey in college has been like a whirlwind but in a good way. I went in expecting nothing and I feel I am leaving STAC with so much.

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.
