To The Graduating Seniors: Thank You

Because without you, I would be lost.

To The Graduating Seniors: Thank You
Ryann Bradford

As we wrap up our final weeks in school, it's sad to see our seniors leave us. These were the people we look up to, the ones who first showed us the ropes. So, thank you for that.

Thank you for your endless time and support. When I was a freshman on campus and had not an idea where my first class was, you were there to lead me on my way. And if you weren't there then, you were there sitting next to me in my first college class to show me the right way to take notes.

You told me everything would be OK when I bombed my first exam and congratulated me when I received my first A. Thank you for pushing me through those long nights with a cup of coffee at the library and wishing me the best on my final exams.

Your words of encouragement didn't stop there. You would always tell me everything would be OK when I was feeling down. The late night phone calls to catch up on the latest gossip from the night before, the funny texts or Instagram posts were all greatly appreciated.

And one last thing, thank you for being you. Your authenticity is what taught me to always be myself and everything else will fall in place. Because of you, I have met some of the best people I will continue to cherish for the rest of my life.

It's sad to see you go, but I will hope to be where you are in just a short amount of time. Although the time flew by, I will keep these memories with you in a very special place. As you leave us, I want you to know that I will hold on to our friendship beyond these past couple of years.

There aren't enough words I can put into one article to say how grateful I am for you. Your endless support and continuous advice is going to be missed dearly. So, with that being said, let's tip our hats to the graduating seniors and wish them good luck as they start a whole new chapter in their lives. Here's to celebrating a career you love, filled with people who will show you the ropes like you showed me.

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.
