Ah, college! An exciting time for everybody filled with tests, parties, studying, and new friends. And while nobody really forgets their college lives, there are some parts that we wish we could forget. The cast of "This Is Us" can certainly explain some thoughts that every college student has at one point during their semesters.

1. When you go from a stress-free week to having a test in every class

As college students, we can never expect what our workload will be for a given week. We can only hope that not every professor decides to schedule their midterm in the same week. However, we also know that this never happens.

2. Those late night talks when you can't see the light...

Thanks to everyone who stuck with me through the meltdowns and late night studying, and assured me that everything would be OK.

3. When you're trying to plan your life but there are four events happening at the exact same time

I promise I'm trying my best, I just really can't be in eight different places at once.

4. When you agree to go out but when the night comes you regret that decision

On second thought, I think I might just fall asleep right now...

5. When someone asks how college is going

Unless you consider back to back classes, work, and catching up at the dining halls a thrilling lifestyle.

6. When you just need a break and find your best friend

Sometimes a hug is exactly what we need when everything starts getting crazy.

7. When you make it out of bed before noon on a weekend

Trust me when I say that this is a difficult task, especially as the semester drags on.

8. When you get that call saying money has been transferred into your account

Nothing can make a college student happier!

9. When you realize another semester has passed and you're that much closer to having to leave

Honestly, how can 16 weeks fly by so fast?

10. When you realize you won't see your friends all summer

We all love summer, but it isn't easy having to leave some of your closest friends for 4 months!

Though Rebecca, Jack, and the Big Three may be reacting to their own life events, it's clear that their reactions can be pretty similar to the reactions of college students.

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.
