Some of the most beloved shows in television history includes The Office and Friends. The reason for their dominating success on television is due to the fact that the show's casts were extremely relatable to their viewers.

In 2008, Parks and Recreation began airing. The premier of the show created a brand new crop of characters that had their audience relating to hard-working Leslie Knope, realist Ron Swanson and the rest of the gang. Some viewers related to the level-headed Anne Perkins or identified with a more ambitious character like Tom Haverford, others more like Andy Dwyer. These are the people who have the best intentions but just aren't the brightest bulb. Along the way, viewers also met April Ludgate, the sarcastic but surprisingly sweet character, Donna Meagle the social butterfly of the department, a constantly stressed out Ben Wyatt, and Chris Traeger the exercise enthusiast and die-hard optimist.

There's also Jerry, the character on the show who is constantly targeted by his co-workers and making mistakes-- also the character who is constantly forgotten about.

Along the seven-year run of the show, some moments summed up the life of a college student perfectly.

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.
