Why I'm Ready To Graduate

College was fun, but I'm ready for the real world.

Why I'm Ready To Graduate

This morning I woke up and a major revelation hit me like a ton of bricks: I have one semester left until I graduate. By the end of this year, I will no longer be a "student" anymore, I'm going to be an actual adult.

Its a scary thought and too many thoughts scattered around my head. Will I get to see my college friends after graduation? How am I going to get a job? How can I be a functioning adult in a few months when I'm still kind of afraid of the dark?

After the anxiety of realizing I'm growing up went down, I realized how ready I actually was to start my life as a post-grad. College was fun. I have met people that I will surely remember for the rest of my life, but I am also ready for a new self-adventure. I'm ready to explore the rest of the world and to live the rest of my life.

There will be things that I won't miss so much from college, like 8 a.m. classes, crappy campus food and the copious amounts of homework that come with taking 18 credits a semester. However, I will always remember going out on Friday nights with my best friends. I'll never forget decorating my first apartment. And I will truly miss walking around campus during the Farmer's Markets on every Thursday.

College is an experience I will never forget. I'm more than thankful for the people I have met and the adventures I went through during my time here. There are many life lessons that I will remember forever that were taught to me both inside and outside of my classes every day. Going to college has made me grow into a person who is ready to take life by the horns. I'm going to try my best to treasure the last few moments I have in college and cherish every amazing memory made by my equally amazing friends here.

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.
