Education majors get a bad wrap when it comes to their future endeavors. Future teachers are always ridiculed because they will not have a lot of money, but we are not in it for the money.

  1. When people say, “you're going to be a teacher! They don't make a lot of money!”

Well duh! We aren't in this profession for the money. We are in it because we want to do it

2. When you are excited about back to school season!

The back to school sales are the best time of the year. Not to mention all the new prospective students you will one day teach that are starting school.

3. When you are excited to buy teacher clothes

Teacher clothes. The dress clothes you will wear for your internships and lab experiences! I hate clothes shopping but when it comes to teacher clothes I get excited!

4. When you love helping younger people.

Everyone who is younger could use some help in any area of their life.

5. When you tutor others in your area of interest

If you are like me and are interested in English, all of your friends ask for help in English. They all ask for you to edit their papers for them, and you do it with great pleasure.

6. When you are a child at heart!

I still love Disney Channel and anything that is related to being a child. I collect bouncy balls with one of my friends and will keep them on my future desk!

7. When you enjoy grading papers!

I have always enjoyed grading essays and tests. Throughout high school, my teachers would have me grade tests for them and I loved it!

8. When your high school can't get rid of you!

I have been back to my old high school more times then I can count since I graduated two years ago!

9. When you are friends with your old teachers on Facebook!

Most of my teachers from high school are my friends on Facebook, and I love seeing how they are and getting advice from them about the teaching profession!

10. Lesson plans are the bane of your existence!

Usually you start these your sophomore or junior year, but at my school we started lesson plans freshman year and I already despise them!

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.
