24 Things You Have to Look Forward To This Semester As Told By Parks And Rec

The feeling of going back to school is something college kids know well by now. It brings a mixture of emotions – some fun and some not. But everyone knows that when you're faced with a first world problem, you turn to a series of gifs to ease the anxiety. Luckily, "Parks and Rec" does a great job relating to our dread and excitement.

1. When the whole squad is finally together again.

The first night out together is guaranteed to be fun – but definitely not classy.

2. And we can't forget the late night snacks that come after partying.

I need to try this.

Except we might eat an entire pizza by ourselves...

3. Or the morning after realizations we all have.

When this song comes on at the club, it's game over.

4. But after the first weekend, we all realize that we have to get it together.

And some of us even get excited about organization.

a little too excited...

5. And we're excited for class to start until we realize we'll actually have to do work.

(Shout out to the seniors.)

6. But sometimes we get to roll out of class after ten minutes--simply because it's syllabus week.

Bye, Felicia.

7. Or we get stuck in a class with one of those professor we absolutely dread having.

*Drops the class five seconds after it ends*

8. Orrr we get assigned a group project on the first day of class.

There's always that person that does absolutely nothing.

9. At some point this semester, we will all consider whether getting through those gen eds are actually worth the degree.

It will be worth it when we longer have to work in retail or fast food.

10. Because sometimes we feel dumb.

(aka when I try to read Plato)

11. I'm sure we will all have our fair share of guy problems.

Ughhhhhh.

12. And we'll all try to make it to the gym, but no guarantees.

I feel you, Ann.

13. And when we forget to go grocery shopping for, like, a month.

When even the ramen runs out...

14. But hopefully we won't have any roommate problems this year.

"Did you seriously finish the rest of my milk?"

...but I might have to kill you.

15. *Two a.m.* "Can you pick us up from the bars?"


Thank you, Do Not Disturb mode.

16. But we'll definitely have to put a couple of all nighters.


Falling asleep in class is always fun.

17. Don't forget the inevitable "I needed to buy that overpriced sweater to de-stress" card.

Justify all you want, your wallet is not happy with you

18. And when you have to struggle hungover to your 8 a.m.

Your professor totally knows, by the way.

19. Yeah, responsibility is FUN.


F is for fire that burns down the whole town...

20. But don't worry, your friends will be there for you when times get rough.

That one friend that supplies endless emotional support through memes.

And they will feed you waffles.

21. And so will alcohol.

Yes, TY.

22. Because that's something you can't do wrong.


Except for drinking Rubinoff...

23. So have fun this semester.

Be more like drunk Ron.

24. It'll be one to remember (mostly).

Cheers.

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.
