I never realized how much I truly related to the "Friends" cast until I got my own apartment.

Living in an apartment is completely different from living at your parent's house or even a dorm. You have to deal with roommates, how they did things in their house, and how you did things in your house have to somehow mesh all into one (kinda like being married). Here are 5 things I know each person who has ever or currently does live in an apartment can relate to.

1. Moving in and Moving out

Moving furniture is sooooooo stressful when you have to go upstairs and the back downstairs. You have to deal with all the crazy annoying corners that make life extra stressful. Just ask Rachel and Chandler having to listen to Ross yell Pivot.

2. Not even knowing what your plan Is

What even is a plan in college? Do plans even exist anymore? No dinner plans, decoration plans, life and career plans. When you're living in an apartment you just roll with everything. Just ask season 1 Phoebe how much of her life she had planned out.

3. Having to wake up early and adult

No one, and I mean no one in college enjoys getting up early. Even when someone says they're a morning person they really mean like 9am-10am. Doesn't it sound like so much fun to have to get up early to do house chores and then have to go to work or class? I don't know about you but it makes me want to scream just like Ross.

4. When your roommates leave clothes everywhere

I was walking into my kitchen the other day, there's a pair of socks. Walking to my room there's a random sock. I just want to scream like Phoebe for them to pick up their socks!!!!!

5. When someone tries to eat your Food

You're in college, you're on your own, your parents aren't paying for your food and they aren't cooking for you. You're completely responsible for providing food for yourself. Imagine walking into your kitchen to eat your food and someone has already had the honor of doing so for you. You go total Joey on them about food because everyone knows, JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD.

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.
