The Symptoms Of Senioritis

The Symptoms Of Senioritis

Being a senior is by far one of the most confusing time periods of college. One day you’re feeling half way out the door already and the next you don’t want to imagine being anywhere else. You’re either so ready to hold some more responsibility or you're hoping the year never ends and you never have to grow up. This feeling has a name and it sickening illness of Senioritis. Not to worry, just like your degree works on graduation day, this too shall pass. For now enjoy what's in front of you because soon you'll be missing it. For now, here's to working passed the symptoms of Senioritis and rolling out of bed for class.

You're tired of professors running your life.

Classes are either the most interesting they have ever been because most or all are finally about what you may want to do in life.

Or you're still sitting in class deciding why you even went..

And you don’t know why you’re still having to get lectured too..

And trying to actively participate is like..


You still don’t understand why there is an attendance policy..


Until you get your first test grade back.

But even if you're doing bad you still might not care.

Because you keep being reminded..


If you live off campus the idea of driving and parking on campus for class is like..

So you're willing to mooch a ride with whoever you can.


You’re over the idea of living with roommates..

But then you think about missing them when you have to move back in with your parents.

You're either completely over the downtown scene..

Or trying to get in every second knowing this behavior is not acceptable anywhere outside of your college town.

You're sick of everyone asking you what your plans are after graduation.

The idea of handing out resumes and going on job interviews in the near future is the scariest thing since meeting your freshman roommate.

And worrying you have not done enough to build your resume over the past 3 years makes searching for jobs even scarier.

And then thinking about what happens once you do get a job...

But just like the first day of freshman year, everything will eventually work out!

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.
