Senior year means only one more year of college, well, at least one more year for your undergrad.

It's scary, and it can be very nerve-wracking, it means, for most, the start of real life. No more socials, no more chapter (if you are in a sorority), no more late-night snack runs with friends, no more spring break or summer.

It's real-life now, and all the aspects of college that make it fun will be ending.

But this is also the start of your independence.

Whether or not you are moving on to get a master's or any other type of higher education after your four years, such as law school or medical school, this is the start of you becoming a full-fledged adult.

And while that might seem intimidating, once you are able to become financially stable and use the skills you worked your butt off for during your undergrad and/or master's, it's going to feel incredibly rewarding and satisfying.

To be able to finally afford a new car or that trip to Europe you have been wanting to take will just be a feeling that is indescribable.

Now, it's OK to feel sad about leaving the campus you have called home for the last three to four years.

But in these last couple of semesters, enjoy all the little things that your campus has to offer.

The really great study spots, all the friends you have made over the last few years, the late nights in the library. Enjoy being a college student for the little while you have left.

Take that spring break trip with your friends that you weren't sure about going on or go have that beach day with your roomies!

Here's to the last few semesters of your senior year, enjoy them because you can't get them back.

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.
