What It Feels Like To Be A Graduating College Senior As Told By Gob Bluth

Graduating seniors are pitiful creatures. They've reached the end, but most have acquired "senior-itis" by now. It's an incurable disease. Only way for it to end is upon graduation. Seniors are top-dogs on campus, but underneath, lies a whole other realm of feelings for them. Read on and enter the exciting (and petrifying) world of graduating college seniors.

1. You finally realize you have to get a job.

You've been so consumed with school assignments and extra-curricular activities, you've forgotten to do the most important thing: find a job.

2. You understand the other seniors in your major are now your competition.

No longer are they "just" your friends anymore. The people also in your major are going out into the world to take your jobs. Let the games begin.

3. You start to wonder how on earth you even made it this far in school.

Just like Gob here, you may have just realized you might have been a little too believable as the "A" student, and now you have no idea what you're doing. Fake it until you make it!

4. You have a new appreciation for your friends you may never see again.

Not everyone at your college is from your hometown. Once you graduate, it's very likely you won't see them ever again. Take this opportunity to give them those awkward hugs you know they'll miss.

5. You no longer have any motivation to go to class.

Can I get an amen? Going to class, at this point, is like stepping on hot coals all the way to class when you really could have been in your bed. Lord, help us all.

6. "I would love to go to the movies!"

Yeah. Either graduating seniors are scrounging to save up for an apartment or they're just plain broke. Have mercy on these souls; they're trying their best to be adults.

7. You grasp the consequences of your procrastination with school assignments.

Senior project is due in one week? Gob said it best, "I've made a huge mistake." You're screwed unless you refer back to number 3. Fake it until you make it, even if it's until the day of your graduation.

But, you've made it my friends. You're so closer to the end than you think. Dream impossible dreams. Be what you want to be, even if that is a below-average magician like Gob Bluth. He owns it. You should, too.

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.
