Being An Old Soul, As Told By Ellie Kemper

Being an old soul can be pretty tough when you're in college. Here are 11 experiences related to being an old soul, as told by Ellie Kemper.

1. When you have no idea how to use the young, hip lingo all the people your age are using.

2. When you make references to old TV shows and movies that nobody else your age knows about.

3. When you make an effort to go out with people, but have no idea how to act because you were always too mature for things like "bar hopping" and "turning up."

4. When you're so out of touch with people your age and their concept of fun, that this is your idea of going wild and crazy during a night out with friends.

5. When you come home from a party feeling like a loser because relating to people your age is so hard.

6. When you aren't up on the latest youth fashion trends.

7. When you just want to tell your peers to be quiet with all their childish nonsense.

8. When you use your sophisticated sense of humor to think of the best comebacks for all the haters out there.


9. When you try to convince people that you are cool and that you don't live like an old lady.

10. When another young person makes a joke that flies right over your head.

11. When you make the best decision of your life: to forget about what other people think and just be you.

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.
