20 Times Dana Scully Accurately Represented Your Feelings About College

With the recent revival of the mid-nineties cult-classic, The X-Files, there as been a lot of hype surrounding the series. So, I found it fitting to reveal the twenty times we've all related to T.V's most skeptical redhead.

[ X-Files theme plays]

1. When your alarm goes off for your 8 a.m class


There is nothing sadder than being forced to enter the realm of the living. But doing it because of a two hour lecture is somehow worse.

2. When someone takes the seat you've been sitting in all semester.


C'mon. It's been six weeks. I know we don't technically have assigned seats in this class, but have some respect.

3. When someone makes a pretentious comment in your intro level class.


We're all just here to pass. Settle down a little bit.

4. When you find out class is cancelled.

There is nothing sweeter than this. It is truly the most delightful experience about college.

5. When that one annoying roommate goes home for the weekend.

This one may vary on if you have an annoying roommate or not, but if you do, you understand.

6. When you find out about an exam you didn't know about.

At this point, you just need all the luck you can get.

7. When your professor says the final is going to be easy.

The whole class just shares the feeling of, "Yeah. Right."

8. When your professor tries to assign something that isn't on the syllabus.

As if we don't already have enough to do.

9. When you have an attractive TA.

Well, maybe this class won't be so bad after all.

10. When someone asks if they can join your group.

They can. As long as they don't get in the way.

11. When the dining hall actually has good food.

Or better yet...

12. When the food is free

The universe is rewarding you for all of your suffering.

13. When you skip class for the first time.

The adrenaline rush can be addicting...be careful.

14. When you finally finish that paper you've been putting off

You feel like a million bucks, even if you look a little insane.

15. When your professor makes attendance mandatory.

If you have to force people to be there, your class sucks. End of story.

16. When someone says something sexist, even though it's 2016.

Inevitably, someone will make a sexist comment thinking they are being clever. Just shoot them this look and that'll shut them down.

17. When it's finally the weekend

Time to party!...or get some much needed alone time.

18. Two words: Laundry. Day.

Featuring: the neverending search for quarters

19. When you need to use the bathroom...but apparently so does everyone else

The entire world is in this line right now I swear to God.

20. When you realize that college isn't what you thought it would be

But you can love it all the same.

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.
