College As Told By April Ludgate
Lazy Sunday

If you are anything like me, April Ludgate is your spirit animal and college life is difficult, especially this time of the semester when everything is chaotic and summer is so close. Here is college explained by April Ludgate in her witty, artful, sarcastic and sometimes hateful way that we have all come to know and love. Enjoy!

1. When the professor calls on you after you were completely not paying attention and have no clue as to what is happening in class.

2. When you have to start adulting (such as paying for gas, food, bills, grocery shopping and everything else you had never thought of before) on your own.

3. When you are halfway excited to go back after break, but then your professor gives you your syllabus for the semester and it is nothing but insane amounts of reading, papers and projects.

4. When you have a big presentation that you have to do in front of the whole class.

5. When you are trying to pep talk yourself into being productive.

6. When your friend asks you about your parents.

7. When you contemplate dropping out, but then have to come up with another plan as to what you will do with your life.

8. When you are asked what your hobbies are in life.

9. Sitting in your 8 a.m. class like...

10. After you finally make it out of a class alive at the end of the semester.

11. When your professor unexpectedly cancels class last minute.

12. When you are in the middle of a test that you apparently did not study enough for.

13. When you are trying to convince your parents that you are being a great, responsible adult.


14. When high schoolers come to campus and you are forced to interact with them.

15. When someone asks why you chose your major.

16. When you realize how much you have due and you have procrastinated all semester.

17. When you get your test back that you bombed...

18. But when you actually get a good grade on a test.

19. When you are with your squad trying to give a presentation.

20. And finally...when you are asked why you are even in college

My fellow April Ludgates: keep pushing on. We will conquer college!

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.
