To The College Senior...
Student Review

Senior year is right around the corner, and when I say corner I mean next week. How is it even possible that summer is over already? It feels like we just ended the spring semester and bam! here comes senior year. If you're anything like me I know theres a few things you've been thinking about.

Walking into a whole new school with all new people is a really scary thing, but we did it.

We sat through those boring gen. ed. classes that wanted to put us to sleep week after week.

We struggled to get through those 8am's that your counselor decided they would be so great to have....not!

We sat through those really, really, really, long 3 hour night classes about music theory, which had nothing to do with your major.

We sat alone on the first few weeks in the cafe, hoping that someone wouldn't come and sit next to you trying to strike up a conversation.

We got up early, just to be able to go online and register for classes, just so you could pick a class with your friends.

We contemplated switching majors once or maybe even twice.

We found friends with the same major as you to make classes more bearable.

We made friends with our advisors, cause they somehow never steered you wrong, especially when choosing classes with certain, boring teachers.

We got smarter, and made our classes on two days of the week, leaving the other days or studying...or partying.

We had weekends that started on Thursday nights.

We became close friends with the bartender at the local bar during college night.

We learned all the tricks around campus.

We had visits from the ghost on campus.

We made best friends with people that will forever be in your life.

We managed to eat, sleep, study, and have fun...somehow.

But all of those things we enjoyed doing for the past three years will end. This year is a year for lasts. The last homecoming dance, the last sports game, senior night, and even prez picnic. So you better study hard because the real world is coming sooner than you think. But you also better have fun. No more dollar beers on Thursday nights once the real world starts. So go out and enjoy the last year with some of the greatest friends you will ever meet.

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.
