Everybody has those days.

College (and life) is full of a lot of what ifs and regrets. As much as we try to be better and do better, it's undeniable that we all slip up sometimes. Thought it may feel shameful, just know that everyone makes similar mistakes. It's hard making the right decisions all the time, and it's usually not possible to do so, either. So don't sweat it too much because it happens everybody all the time. Here's a list of 15 things I wish I did, but didn't, as told by "New Girl."

1. Homework on a Friday night.

2. Ate a salad instead of eating something really unhealthy.

3. Went to bed instead of watching Netflix.

4. Called your parents.

5. Did/folded your laundry when you said you would.

6. Checked the weather before leaving for class.

7. Started studying earlier.

8. Taken better notes in class instead of being lazy and writing down next to nothing.

9. Not to have napped.

10. Taken a risk to do something social.

11. Wasted food points.

12. Talked to a cute person.

13. Maintained the cleanliness of your room.

14. Followed through with your fitness plan.

15. Treat Yourself.

So this is for all the times you ate cheetos instead of an apple, napped instead of going to the gym, and lazily lounged around instead of doing anything even slightly productive. You'll undoubtedly feel guilty or bad about yourself when you find yourself with a paper, project, and four readings due the next day, but if you know you have a record of making these kinds of choices, you might as well cherish your procrastination and questionable decisions by pressing play on the next episode of whatever you're watching.

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.
