Despite the fact that most people encourage everyone to continue their education after high school, some people believe that getting a higher education isn't necessary. While I respect a different opinion from my own, I want to inform them why school should be important to us all.


1. You are more prepared for life

If you get college degree, you will have more job opportunities because you are more knowledgeable. When employers look at candidates to hire, they focus on your college education.

2. Without school, we would not have doctors, engineers, employers, schools, and pretty much everything that we have

This point explains itself. Who would take care of you if we had no doctors? Who would hire you if we have no employers? Who would educate your kids if we didn’t have teachers in our schools? Education is what solves all our problems and what makes everything easy for us. Someone has to do these jobs and it's imperative that they are educated enough to do them.

3. You can reach your career goals through school

Continuing your education gives you the chance to reach your goals and to get hired at the place you desire. School helps you reach your goals in life and helps you become a successful person, both financially and personally.

4. You’ll be financially more satisfied

You can make much more money with a college degree and you will have a better chance to get the job of your dreams with higher pay. The more education you have, the more money you will make. Money is not everything, but when you are financially stable, you are not likely to face hard situations in life such as paying bills or acquiring any debt.

5. You will have a better life style

If you want a job and can’t get it, most of the time it's because you don’t have a degree for that job. When you get that degree, you can get the job you have been dreaming of.

6. Education also builds self confidence

In college, you are exposed to a variety of topics and situations you can get involved in. This helps you overcome many of the fears that you may have and as a result, you can become more confident and knowledgeable.

7. You will work at the job you actually want and enjoy

Obviously, you study what you like. This means you will get a job you worked so hard for and once you get that job, it won’t feel like you’re going to work because it will be something you wanted your whole life. The hardest situation is having to work at a job where you feel you have to work and it isn’t what you really want, so continuing your education by getting a college degree will help you get your dream job.


So, education is the key. Continuing school will be nothing but beneficial to you. Through education, you will have many opportunities waiting for you and you will have a set life. The prime favor you can do for yourself is giving yourself the opportunities to be the best version of yourself and education will definitely help you reach this goal.

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.
