Why Having A Plan Is Overrated

The uselessness of trying to plan out your entire life.

Oh, the college years. The years where you are supposed to figure out what you want to do with your life. The years were all those misplaced pieces of your life are supposed to fall into place. This is the unwanted pressure most kids face during these said college years. While we are warned the years will be a roller coaster, lots of people have these set in stone plans for themselves. What people fail to realize is the uselessness of having a plan.

There is no comfort at all in having one of these said plans for your life or resting easily in the fact that you think you may have a plan for your life. It is almost comical for us to believe that we can plan out every aspect and have it turn out just as we want it to. This is simply just not how the world is set up.

These college years are most definitely fun, to say the least, but they are hard. The transitioning to the school work to the upkeep of a social life can easily begin to feel all too much. It is in the midst of all of this where perspective becomes key. The Lord has a set in stone plan for all of our lives, while we sometimes may not agree with the direction of this plan or understand where it is supposed to lead. Once we put our issues into perspective and let the Lord guide us through life an immediate burden is lifted from our shoulder. Put that ease of having a plan for the ease of pursuing the lord and resting your anxieties on him and only him.

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.
