The Next Two Weeks

I'm about to enter the crazy period.

Within the next two weeks, I will have been the first in my family to graduate college and I will finally marry my best friend. I've made it through three and a half years at Berea College and graduated with my degree in Business Administration and Accounting. I'm made it through six months of hectic wedding planning. It all comes down to these next two weekends. Here's my thoughts and thank-yous to everyone in my life:

1) Thank you, Nana for taking care of the food and most of the decorations. You have no idea how much you've kept my stress level down during the wedding planning portion of this semester and for always being happy to see or hear from me each day and every weekend.

2) Thank you to my college bestie, Kayla. Even tonight as we sit here and you coach me through makeup and face masks to help my horribly dry skin, you've been there for me throughout the whole time at Berea. Who knew the "random" girl from my first-semester trigonometry class and second semester "random" roommate would become so important to me?

3) Thank you to another college best friend, Wyatt. From the days I texted you asking your opinion on colors or the times I've dragged you (and Kayla and Brooke) to Richmond to help me go look at wedding stuff, you've never seemed uninterested. For the nights, we've holed up in my room and watched movies for hours, you'll always be one of the best (especially on the Rom-Com nights).

4) Thank you to Justin, who's helped me maintain my sanity throughout this crazy college ride and plan the wedding that we've both always wanted to have. I know I've driven you nuts the past couple months but I can't wait to marry you next weekend! <3

5) Thank you to everyone who's helped me through this crazy part of my life. These are just some of the people I want to mention. There are so many more that deserve a moment in the spotlight. That's why this is only Part One of this post. Next weekend means five to ten more thank-yous and love-yous.

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.
