7 Emotions Of A College Girl Explained By Jennifer Lawrence

In college, you could have four exams, three papers, five different sorority functions, two intramural games and multiple TV shows to catch up on, all in one week. AKA in just one week, you go from being overjoyed to overwhelmed to depressed to downright just a mess. Who is the only other woman in the world who can express such emotions accurately? Jennifer Lawrence. Here are seven times her face said it all.

1. Everyone warns you about gaining weight in college, but all you ever crave is food.

Every girl wants nothing more than to have the perfect chest, butt, and flat stomach, but let's be real: a love for food far surpasses that. If you absolutely have to choose between a treadmill or a huge platter of gooey, warm chocolate chip cookies, which of the two is going to bring you more happiness? Cookies. Or there is the option to walk slowly on the treadmill and eat cookies. You can't gain weight eating if you're simultaneously working out, right?

2. Sometimes you forget how to wear a dress because you've worn t-shirts for the past three weeks.

What do you wear when you go to class? T-shirt. What do you wear when your friends are going out to eat? T-shirt. What do you wear to sleep? T-shirt. What do you wear practically every day? T-shirt. When it's cocktail attire and you wear heels, a strapless dress and a real bra, it feels like trying to work a complicated machine. Maybe on the outside you look like you have it all together fashion-wise, but on the inside, you're dying to crawl back into your biggest and most-worn T-shirt.

3. Everyone around you is either in a relationship or engaged, yet you have absolutely no idea how to flirt/ talk to the male species.

There is an undeniable pressure in college to fall in love, date for a couple of years and be engaged before you turn 22. Yet if you are ever approached by a guy, you completely forget what words are and your hands move so awkwardly in an attempt to flirt that he has to take a couple of steps back. Anytime you see a cute couple holding hands while walking to class, you just want to ask them how in the world they did it, since for some reason you can't even manage to ask the guy next to in class what his name is.

4. It seems as though every girl in college took lessons on how to take gorgeous pictures, but you just didn't get the memo.

Which side of your face looks better? Soft smile or full teeth smile? How do some girls manage to look skinnier in pictures? Some girls end up looking like America's Next Top Model in every picture they take, yet you are someone still left behind in the awkward stages and trying to learn how to master a decent face... Cheese?

5. Sometimes life is so busy and overwhelming that your brain just stops functioning the way it's supposed to.

We all have days where we accidentally place our keys in the refrigerator, or bring the wrong textbooks to class, or even realize you have been in the wrong class more than once. And then after all of that happens during the week, the weekend rolls around and your date cancels on you at the last possible second, you lose a shoe somewhere and even though you vow to do homework on Sunday, all you really end up doing is taking a nap and catching up on "Grey's Anatomy." Truthfully, each of us girls has a complete mental breakdown a few times a semester (or a week), and it's all okay because who can possibly function properly as a girl in college anyway?

6. Some days, you just don't like anyone.

Your professors are asking you to turn in a million things, your parents are wondering why you haven't talked to them in weeks, your friends are making plans for you, and all you want to do is lock yourself in your room and lay in bed with zero communication to the outside world. You inevitably end up walking across campus and doing everything you usually would do... except today, you have a facial expression that screams "leave me alone" and yet no one does. And then you hate everyone even more. There is no way to win.

And finally, the time that Jennifer Lawrence most expressed everything a college girl feels...

7. Embarrassment.

You role up to formal with a gorgeous man (maybe not gorgeous, but you found a man and that's win) draped on your arm, an expensive dress and hours worth of makeup and hair. You feel like a complete princess and worthy of everyone's attention. And then... you fall. Or spill something completely down your dress. Or break a heel. The life of a college girl is filled with countless stories of complete and total embarrassment.


So, Jennifer Lawrence, this is a tribute to you. We understand you. You understand us. Thank you for that.

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.
