Being a Fifth Year as Told by 'Veep'

Rolling through your college town past the four year mark is like watching "The Bachelor" without wine—it just doesn't feel right. Being a fifth year comes with its perks, sure, but it just isn't the same. Not having your best friends with you every step of the way, being absurdly over Greek life and rolling your eyes as you download yet another syllabus. On the flip side, college is awesome. Victory lap, here we come.

When you try to tell yourself that you're going to be fine without your friends this year.

When you wake up after a night out I and realize you aren't as young as you once were.

When your employed friends try to tell you to stop complaining about school work.

When an underclassman mistakes you for a freshman.

When you realize you have four more months of blissful unemployment.

When you're just done with being a college student.

When you finally get to graduate!

I would like to leave you with an inspirational quote from one of the most profound movies of our time.

" Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight." — Billy Madison

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.
