Yes, dropping out is an option.

To all the seniors out there, congrats on graduating. It's been one hell of a 4-6 year span for you, and it's time for you to move on in life. For the rest of us, we are still trying to figure out the next move now that spring semester has ended. Coming from experience as a now senior in college, you actually have a good amount of options, and in true Odyssey fashion, I am gonna give you five of them. And yes, some of them can be intermixed.

1. Take summer classes

This is a very common option for the people that are trying to graduate on time, and I am taking this option online for the first half of Summer. Most of you taking this route will probably only take one to two classes as a way to get you back on track for graduation. For anyone taking more than two, please get a life.

2. Get a job/internship

Yes, the classic get a temporary job in Summer so you are not dead broke in Fall - a very basic college student move. However, I suggest the internship route if you're a junior or incoming senior like myself. Good for you if you can find one that's paid, but for a good amount of them, they will probably be unpaid. On the contrary, it is a great way to get experience in your field. You can be building some great connections, and you never know what awesome hookups your internship employer might get you.

3. Study abroad

If you are lucky enough to afford this option with a scholarship, or using financial aid that won't put you in the hole for the rest of your life, study abroad can be a good route. A lot of things can be learned going abroad to a new place for a pre-determined amount of time, but if you are going this route, make sure to talk to an advisor, because as great as study abroad sounds, it can still suck for you and your wallet.

4. Moving back home

If you have nothing else productive to do on the options I have listed, moving back home is perfectly fine. However, if you are gonna move back home, try to do something productive while you're there. If you know how Summer is back in your hometowns, it can get repetitive and boring if you're not careful. The time with your family and friends back home will be a nice change of pace from normal day life though.

5. Dropping out

The ultimate "I can't take college anymore" move. If you do decide to drop out, the best of luck to you, and I hope the same success Mark Zuckerberg found will come to you as well.

No matter what option you decide to take, make sure to enjoy these Summer months and leave time for relaxation. We all need 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.
