The Next Chapter After College

Most people work their whole lives to graduate college to pursue all sorts of different dreams. So what happens when you graduate? My mom and dad used to say that each part of your life is like a chapter in the book of your life. I never used to know what that meant until I graduated from high school and got to college. Each year at college had a new chapter of my life added on to the years of chapters before it. Now as graduation approaches in just three more days a chapter is about to end a new one approaches; Life after college.

For most people go to pursue their dream careers. Others go to Masters Programs or even Doctoral programs. No one truly knows what life has in store and what tomorrow will bring but what seems to be a common thread is that life is too short to not embrace everything life has to offer.

Life after college and getting a degree can bring on a new found sense of responsibilities and freedoms that one did not have while in college or in school in general. Some goals and dreams are shattered as the reality of their jobs and careers are not what they expected. But in that sadness comes a new sense of adventure into what can go on. Maybe you go back to school and find a new interest. maybe you apply for a new job or even travel to a new place with new people.

whatever happens life after college can bring a wave of emotions and new dreams and goals after your completion of college can be whatever you want them to be. For me I plan to live in the unknown and see where the journey of life takes me. All opportunities lay and wait to be discovered so go and grab them as fast as you can.

Goodluck to you all!

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.
