Time really flies when your in college; probably even faster than the four years spent in high school.

Nothing really beats the satisfaction of walking across that stage and finally getting a degree. But before you take that walk, there are some things to think about leading up to graduation day. There are so many deadlines and preparation that go into the last month before it comes to an end.

From a college undergrad about to graduate in a month, here are some thoughts every soon-to-be graduate has.

1. Make sure you order your cap and gown.

2. Find out dates, times, and location of the graduation ceremony.

3. Talk to your academic adviser.

4. Make sure you have all your credits to graduate.

5. Job search.

6. Apartment hunt/living arrangements after college.

7. Are you moving back home?

8. Are you staying in your college town?

9. Relocating for a job?

10. Who are you inviting to graduation?

11. Prepare yourself for the multiple breakdowns you might have.

12. Wow, my stress level is through the roof.

13. Cry about how many books you've bought this semester but never opened.

14. Senioritis in high school is nothing compared to the last semester of college.

15. How many group projects do I have?

16. There's a cumulative final????

17. I feel like I'm just going through the motions.

18. I just want a REAL job already.

19. Try to sell miscellaneous items on your school's Facebook page for extra cash.

20. Desperately searching for an entry level job that's not asking for 3+ years of experience.

21. Mentally checked out, physically still going to class.

22. Preparing yourself for the real world.

23. Loans...how am I going to pay off all this debt?

24. Being too excited to start your career in a few months.

25. Having the countdown on your phone/in your planner.

26. Did I mention job hunting?

27. I am grateful to have been given the chance to attend college.

28. Low key really going to miss college and all the opportunities it has given me.

29. I'll never forget all the people that have made lasting impressions for a lifetime.

30. Looking back and thinking it was all worth it.

In advance, I would like to congratulate all the upcoming students for the class of 2018! We made 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.
