Let's admit it.... college is hard. We all have those days where you struggle with everything and then you have the days where everything seems to go just right for you and nothing can stop you. You know who else has good and bad days? Ross Geller. Ross is one of the most relatable characters on Friends and here are eight reasons why you are basically Ross on friends.

1. He knows what Move-in Day was like

Move in day was truly a struggle. Between furniture, bedding, cool decorations... there was a lot. You may have had to even pivot to make sure you got the futon into your room. Ross knows that pivoting is hard and he knows that over time people will get annoyed when you want to move in a specific way.

2. Bad spray tan??? We've all been there.

At some point, we've all experienced this. Whether it's before prom or just for the heck of it, girls like myself have gotten spray tans thinking we would look good and the end result is basically a disaster. Unlike Ross, you know how to count to five and I'm sure your tan is nowhere near as bad as his.

3. You both know what it's like to forget something

If you are easily forgetful and you remember things last minute, you are basically Ross Geller. His excuse for everything is "WE WERE ON A BREAK" and to be quite honest I think I'm not the only one that feels this way. Just remember that if your teacher asks why you didn't do an assignment, just know the correct response is the line we all know too well.

4. You and Ross both know how to "fake it till you make it"

Everyone has those days. The ones that progressively get worse and seem to continually spiral downhill until all that's left is just you and the stress weighing down on you. Ross feels the same way and to tell you the truth I believe he handles it better than most. Just know that it's okay to be "fine" and no matter what your friends will be there.

5. He has relationship troubles just like you

Relationships are hard and everyone knows that. Ross especially has had a hard time making it work with the ladies. Between three divorces and several other women, Ross knows that no relationship is perfect but if you find the perfect person (aka Rachel Green) you'll be happy no matter what.

6. Ross likes to have fun and so do you

Friday nights are the night to party and you are always ready to make the night fun. Ross is an expert partier too and I'm sure if you decided to take him to the Hawk, it would definitely be a night to remember.

7. You both are grammar freaks and you're okay with it

Everyone is a grammar freak. Whether it's "the your and you're debate" or simply forgetting to put an apostrophe in between letters, you always feel the need to make sure people know that they are grammatically incorrect. Being a professor, Ross is always sure to call you out for your grammatical mistakes, no matter how close you were to being right.

8. You both are truly loyal to your group of "Friends"

No matter what happens, you are truly loyal to your best friends. Ross is the same way and he wouldn't be where he is without them. You both truly love your friends and even though they are stubborn and can be quite annoying, you'll always be there for them.

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.
