13 Times 'Mean Girls' Perfectly Described Your Feelings About Going Back To School
Metro UK

Your month of sleeping until noon, gorging on holiday treats and Netflix binging has officially come to a screeching halt. As you begin repacking your suitcase and saying your final goodbyes to friends and family, you're beginning to question whether you actually want to make the journey back to college.

Perhaps, you think, this semester will be a fresh start, an opportunity to study a little harder (or party), meet some new people (or never leave your room). Despite the possibilities of growth and transition, your comfy bed back home and lack of responsibilities looks far too tempting...

Here are 13 times "Mean Girls" perfectly described your feelings about going back to school.

1. You're slowly dying on the inside as you remember that you still have to buy books for the semester.


Oh right, some of that Christmas money was for books... oh...


2. After devouring food during the holidays, you're a little self-conscious about your body.


My butt looks bigger? Duh, it's from all the squats I did over break. And by squats, I mean squash, and by squash, I mean ice cream.


3. But you've convinced yourself that you're going to burn it all off once you get back to college.


#NewYearNewMe


4. If you're coming back from abroad, you've slightly forgotten how to communicate with your friends.


Oops, I forgot. People don't take siestas at 2 p.m. or drink wine whenever.


5. You're super stoked to surprise your roomie after not seeing them for a month.


Or you might just lie in bed and have them let themselves in.


6. You remember that you still have to take down your Christmas decorations from last semester.


Or leave them up! Christmas will never end in your room. *Cue "Jingle Bell Rock" dance


7. You're beginning to question whether you are physically or emotionally prepared to return.


Too many people moving all at once... I can't... function.


8. But that anxiety is outweighed by your excitement to shake your thang again at the next party.


You might even meet your own Aaron Samuels.


9. This is a new semester, your chance to join an intramural or new club!


Yes, this is my time to shine!


10. Wait, does binge eating pizza at midnight count as an intramural?


From all of the pizza grease on my face, it should.


11. Ugh, and then you have to tell everyone what you did during break over and over again.


You'll just start making up stories of what happened over break because you're so sick of hearing what you actually did... *cough cough* nothing...


12. But you still desperately want to see your pals.


You forgot what it was like to socialize.


13. Despite your internal conflict about going back, you're still psyched for a fresh start, so go out there and do your thang!


Thanks, Kevin G. That is exactly what I needed.

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.
