College as told by Broadway Musicals

Whether you are a freshman just starting out or a senior who is almost done, Broadway musicals have a certain way of explaining just how you are feeling at any certain moment.

If I know anything, it is that you can learn a lot from Broadway musicals. From American history in Hamilton and Newsies to life lessons from Dear Evan Hansen and Legally Blonde. One thing I have found recently, however, from watching so many Broadway musicals is that they do a really good job of explaining exactly what college life is like. Whether you are a freshman just starting out or a senior who is almost done, Broadway musicals have a certain way of explaining just how you are feeling at any certain moment. So if you need a break from studying or you just need a good laugh to get through the stress, here is just a few times when Broadway musical pretty explained what you were thinking or what you needed to say and did not know how to put into words. (Note some images are not from Broadway musical, but these shows have been Broadway musicals at one time.)

1. When you think a professor is out to get you / destroy your life and you decide to rebel but only in your head because they're scary and you don't a worse grade.

2. When you're ready to give up on life and become a hobo because you're so homesick and you know of a fact you're going to fail at life.

3. When one of your professor's goes through the power point way too fast and no one in your class was able to keep up either so you're totally lost.

4. When you given into your procrastination for too long and you finally decide to stop wasting time and change your ways.

5. When you unexpectedly get into an easy class that you didn't expect to have and you don't have anything to do in it. #Blessed

6. When one of your classes is canceled and you can sleep in an extra hour, which you seriously need because you stayed up way too late the night before "studying.

7. When you get put in a group with a bunch of people who won't do anything and you end up doing all the work yourself.

8. When your teacher claims she/he will have something graded by the end of the week, but it's Sunday night and you're still obsessively checked Blackboard finally realizing that your teacher full of lies.

9. When you do better on a test than you previously thought and now you no longer believe that you're going to fail out of college and die.

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.
