Transitions are always scaring and perhaps one of the scariest ones is when we are kicked out of our little college bubble and out into the real-real world. Don't get me wrong we have already partaken in the real world we have not been living a fairy tale, however it is the time for when we will be forced away from our friends and we will be completely responsible for our own lives. Here are a few thoughts I think everyone has at least once when they are about to graduate.


Hire me please.

We all have had that moment where we think we will never get hired by anyone. We just desperately want someone to notice all the hard work we have put in the past few years and give us a salary for it. Pleas hire us. We are begging you.

How will I function without my friends?

There are always friends around to help you put together an outfit or to look over a paper you have written. You are kind of used to travelling in a heard whether if it is for dinner or a sports event. Your group has come from all over the country and once you are outside of your bubble you wonder how you will see them again and how you will be as happy on your own.

But I still haven't learned how to be an adult?

what is a Roth IRA? What kind of retirement plan do I need? What is the plural of "moose"? These are questions that we still ask ourselves. When we were younger we thought that when we graduated college we would feel like adults but here we are and we are still confused about a lot of things.

I need to buy dress pants.

I need to get a whole new wardrobe for the adult work field. I don't think my roll out of bed college clothes are going to cut it anymore. We might need to start investing in a wardrobe that is more real clothes rather than pajamas and workout clothes.

What if I forget everything I have learned?

What if I cannot remember everything important that I have been told for the last four years? What if all of my knowledge just decides to leave my brain.

We finally did it.

We are finally getting prepared to walk the line. We are very proud that we have been able to accomplish this dream that we have had for so long. No, it has not been easy. We know that it will be worth it. We cannot wait to put all of our work to the test. We will always cherish the amazing memories we have had at our school. we will forever be thankful for the amazing season in our lives that is known as college.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
