College as a whole goes by in the blink of an eye, but especially your senior year. It's the last few months of living in your perfect, responsibility free bubble where you get to sleep until 11 and go out every night.

Then spring semester rolls around and it hits you that you have to actually be a self-sufficient adult in 4 months and you get struck by the Senior Scaries. The combination of all of these confusing feelings leads to a very distinct set of stages that almost everyone who is a senior can understand.

1. Using YOLO and SYFI as an excuse to go insane.


2. Wearing your pajamas to class and not giving a single care about it.

3. Avoiding the question “What are your plans after graduation?”

4. Realizing how few skills you actually have while filling out job applications.

5. Avoiding checking your bank account because more likely than not it’s in the negatives.

6. Seeing freshmen on campus and refusing to believe you ever looked that small and innocent.

7. Going out literally every night of the week instead of studying.

8. When Senioritis is too real and you no longer have any motivation to leave bed ever.

9. Having panic attacks over the thought of entering the real world and having to be an adult.

10. Crying because you never want to leave college, your friends, or your school. I love you FSU.

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.
