I've seen her face on Aeropostale ads, best-dressed lists and more, but I brushed her off as just another teen actress. However, Teen Vogue's March 2013 issue changed everything.

The pursuit of this Great Perhaps is what gives meaning to my life. I guess we all need a sense of purpose, a connection to a greater cause. Without it, life would seem empty and pointless.

College applications are complete (excuse me while I kiss the sky), some of us lucky ones have already been accepted to schools we applied to early (congrats!) and after a particularly grueling first semester, nothing seems to matter in comparison.

I never want to get lost on the road, and I never want to vote for the politician just because she has the coolest name on the ballot. I want to be a better driver, and I want to be a more informed American.
