Hipsters: They're everywhere, man. And they come in so many flavors. Some are crunchy, some are a weird mix of mustache wax and micro-brews and others are all natural vegans, but everyday is "cheat day." One show has taken to making fun of a particular strain of hipsters from Portland, Ore.: "Portlandia," an IFC comedy on Netflix starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. And you know where else there's a high concentration of hipsters? That's right, Berry College. So here are a few ways the hipsters of Portlandia are just like the hipsters of Berry College.

1. That one guy who really, really loves his Patagonia.

Oh hey, dude, that guy has the same one as you...and so does that guy...huh.

2. How the Berry Bookstore and Oak Hill Gift Shop sell anything and everything with the Berry Bald Eagles on it.

3. Those girls who block the dessert counter because they can't decide if they want the peanut butter cookies or the chocolate chip ones.

Can I just scoot by real quick? 'Scuse me, sorry...sorry...

4. Hanging around after a late night to see if you can take some of the extra food back to your dorm with you.



5. With the new stadium, a lot of people are going to have to learn how to cheer for a sports team now.

"Sports!"

6. The day you mistakenly run into the not-so-friendly campus feminist.

7. When everyone and their grandma are up at the Res.

8. And when there are some seriously under/over prepared people up there too.

9. When you start to realize that Yik Yak kinda sucks, and half the time it's just freshmen looking for hook-ups.

Meet hot new singles in your area or read complaints about D-hall.

10. That awkward sexual experience with one of your peers for the first time.

11. And it's not as spontaneous or satisfying like you expected.

...But there will be sweat and a max of two minutes of cuddling.

12. That one off-campus tourist that feels that it's appropriate to treat you like a tour guide.

Leave the bubble Simba, and never return.

13. And when you finally get that night outside the Berry Bubble.

"Bro! You just spilled your drink on my Chacos!"

Check out "Portlandia" on Netflix today!

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.
