Things WT Seniors Wished as a Freshman to Accomplish Before Graduation

There are always things we wish would accomplish, but usually never do - like a New Year's Resolution or a bucket list.

In less than two months, hundreds of seniors will walk the stage and graduate from WT, myself included. So, after thinking about this (and maybe slightly fearing it) I thought of a couple things I remember as a freshman hoping I would accomplish by the time I was a senior. Most of these I have definitely not accomplished, but hey, maybe some of the other seniors have! So here goes:

  1. To take the stairs to the top of the CC without sounding like the big bad wolf about to huff and puff the little piggy's house down.
    1. It's a thing. I personally feel like I might die of an asthma attack afterwards, but I am out of shape, so hopefully other seniors have fared better here.
  2. To figure out what they are going to do with their life.
    1. Yeah, life decisions are a big deal, especially a life decision about what you will do for the rest of your life. It's hard. I still don't know.
  3. To get rid of the freshman 15.
    1. Ha. Ha! HA! Definitely did not happen for me, but that's okay!
  4. To go into the Buffalo Fountain platform without getting in trouble.
    1. I have heard stories of people doing this. I personally don't think I would make the jump without actually falling in and like breaking my ankle. But good luck to all the rest of you guys!
  5. To use all of their meal plan at least once
    1. One time I only had two left. I felt like the most accomplished person ever. But now I am lucky it its below 60.
  6. To graduate with a 4.0
    1. Sometimes you pick a major that you actually 100% not meant for and you get a B. That's okay. But also lots of classes are really hard. Like Organic Chemistry, if you make it out with a B, props to you, you are my hero.
  7. To have a plan after graduation
    1. Career Services has lots of great options and opportunites to help you figure what you want to do. They rock, use them!
  8. To make it through four years without pulling an all-nighter
    1. Procrastination is a thing, which sometimes results in needing the whole night before to prepare yourself. It happens to the best of us and the worst of us.
  9. To find a partner, best friend, soulmate, etc.
    1. At this age, everyone is asking you if you are seeing anyone or if you've met anyone, or, like in my case, everyone from your close family to your distant relatives to people from your church trying to play match-maker.
  10. Oh and to figure out what they are going to do with their life
    1. This one deserves to be mentioned twice because, well, life is hard and scary.

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.
