5 Straight Outta Compton Quotes That Relate To College

If you've ever seen the movie "Straight Outta Compton" then you know how inspiring it really can be. Besides the gangsta women, weed and unending raps - the message behind the story really shows how life is just nuthin but a 'g' thang. College can seem like it's an incomparable sense of craziness, but these "Straight Outta Compton" quotes are so relatable in college.

1. "Open the door man, c'mon open the door."

Please, professor, I know I'm 30 minutes late to class and look like I haven't slept in days, but if you would just let me in this one time and let me take this test!

2. "Y'all mf need to be gang bangin' them books instead of tryna be something y'all aint."

Time to get your ass in check and focus on school. Quit the partying every night, quit trying to talk to different girls every night and remember what you're paying all this money for.

3. "'50 dollars makes you rich?' 'It's a start.'"

I know I have $8.00 in my bank account, but that leaves enough for a shot in Buckhead AND food on the way back, I'm set.

4. "You don't care what I'm fighting for. I already know what I want to do with my life and it definitely ain't sitting in no cubicle on a bullshit ass job."

I know my major seems way too hard, I know it seems crazy that I'm actually going to school to be able to travel the world, but I promise I will not be sitting in an office at a desk for the rest of my life.

5. "Do whatever the f*ck you gotta do."

Professor, if you really feel like you can't bump that 89.34 to a 90 I understand, but just know I hate you and I'm rating you terribly on rate my professor, cause I gotta do what I gotta do.

I love "Straight Outta Compton" and it's not just because they are complete bad-asses, but because they took all of their struggle and turned it into some awesome careers and absolutely amazing records. They took the quote "started from the bottom now we here" to a whole new level. Ice Cube wrote the track "Boyz-In-The-Hood" and it changed their lives forever. Dr. Dre sold his beats to apple for $620 million and if that isn't inspiring then go watch the movie and tell me how inspired you are then.

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.
