Summer is almost over, and before you know it we will all be back at our schools studying our brains out for that higher GPA. Even though it is always bittersweet for me to say goodbye to summer I get excited for a new year at school, because it is always guaranteed to bring many new and exciting opportunities. However, like any college student, I sort of have a love/hate relationship with college, mostly because yes, I love the social aspect but sometimes the late night studies and infamous finals are really not my best friends.

Who else depicts the struggles of a college student better than a man who never even went to college in the first place? (Yes I know, that makes no sense) Sure, Michael Scott didn't go to college, but he sure got to experience some college student moments in his own life while working at Dunder Mifflin. To be honest, I cannot think of anyone else who experienced so many college student struggles, more so than any college student I have met! Here is a list of a Michael Scott moments for every college struggle:

1. Procrastination at its finest.

2. Your diet in college has never been so on point.

3. When you try to help your friend study but they keep getting sidetracked.

4. Thanks to tuition and groceries your bank account is pretty much dead.

5. When your professor's rant in the middle of his lecture makes absolutely no sense.

6. When your professor decides to add in a last minute assignment.

7. When your professor suggests a book to read for fun that applies to the class but is not required.

8. Whether you gained the "freshman 15" or not, thanks to all of the snacking sometimes you can feel a little--bloated.

9. Creativity flows best when you're writing that paper that you don't really even understand or know what you're doing, but you know for certain that you're pretty good at writing fluff.

10. When class is done, but that one kid in the front won't stop talking.

11. The hopefulness of passing the class after taking the final.

12. You've mastered class presentations.

13. Anytime you thought you had your life in order.

14. Netflix has never really been a study motivator.

15. When you just don't understand anything in class.

16. You realize eating healthy just isn't as glamorous as it sounds.

17. When at moments you feel helpless and desperate.

18. Your thoughts on making friends at school.

19. The internet has been your lifesaver.

20. Two words: finals week.

21. When the professor tells you the final is cumulative.

22. Your thoughts as you enter the classroom you're going to take your final in:

23. But after all of the hard work, you sure know how to have a good time to celebrate.

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.
