It's definitely as scary as everyone says it is.

Senior Year: As Told By GIF's
The Consummated Dabbler

Beginning college is a scary process; you move away from home, have to make new friends and start planning your future. Finishing college, however, is downright terrifying. You are no longer simply planning for the future, but you are about to enter said future. You have to start thinking about grad school, where you will live when you graduate and where you want to jumpstart your career. To make a stressful situation more entertaining, let's go through the stages of your senior year of college.

When you realize this is probably the last time you'll move back into your apartment

From moving in to your dorm freshman year to moving in to different apartments, it may have been a hassle but it's sad when you don't have that to look forward to anymore.

And that your classes are going to get a lot more challenging.

You're taking senior-level classes now that probably require a lot more outside-work and studying, and you actually have to learn everything you're being taught because you'll be using it.

But hopefully, they finally have something to do with your major,

Thankfully, you aren't taking freshman and sophomore-level core classes so you can get interested in your classes and learn how to apply them to your jobs.

Of which you might still be iffy about.

Because who really knows which track to take?

Then, someone asks you "what exactly do you want to do with your life?

Well..

And you can't give them a better answer than "I don't know."

Does anyone have a legitimate idea of what they want to do with their lives?

So that leads to an existential crisis

And you cry a lot.

And you start considering law school or medical school

Even though it's a lot of extra school.

Because of course you can be like Meredith Grey and Annalise Keating!

A world-class surgeon and a hardcore lawyer are pretty attainable jobs, right?

When you decide what to do when you graduate, it feels like a weight has lifted off your shoulders.

And you can breathe for once!

You can finally try to enjoy your last year, while fitting in homework and studying,

I mean, you have to make memories while you're trying to get some high-class job.

And ultimately, it was one of the best experiences of your life.

From random road trips and concerts to friendships and connections, the hard years were definitely worth it.

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.
