I'm in the home stretch, and there are a lot of things to worry about.

Am I ready to be done with school?

Giphy

The answer to this is usually a resounding YES. But, if you don't plan on immediately going into a graduate program life is going to be drastically different once you graduate. You'll probably miss it more than you think.

Am I supposed to be going to grad school now?

Giphy

Ask yourself if the job you really want requires a degree. If you don't need to go to school to follow your career path, DON'T waste that money!

What if I don't find a job?

Do not give up. Worst case scenario you can get a part time job to pay the bills until you find something. Remember, you're new to you're field and you'll probably have to work your way up to that dream job. Be okay with that.

When am I supposed to start looking for a job?

Giphy

Right now, tell any future employees of your anticipated graduation date, and best case scenario you'll be offered a position with the understanding that you'll have your degree within the time frame.

What happens, if I don't want to work in the field my degree is in?

Giphy

You're going to have to get creative. Think about why you think you're able to do the job you're looking at and tailor you're resume to fit it. In the interview, talk about how your unique experiences will make you a better fit than other candidates that took a more traditional route.

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.
