Part four of five.

College Explained By "Friends"

Here's part four in the "Friends" series! We've been talking about just how similar college life is to the TV show "Friends." These are some more examples of just how alike our lives actually are.

1. After this week, there will be four weeks until the start of winter break! Can you believe it? Monica understands. We always knew you were our favorite, Mon.

2. This word has become far too familiar to some of us...as well as that good ole toilet in the bathroom.

3. Pheobe knows all too well what it's like for her friends to make plans and not include her, telling her they're doing something else. It's all good, though. You're going to make the Dean's list and they aren't.

4. So, There's the age old problem of deciding between going to class because your instructor said it was important for you to be there, or skipping that class to do homework for another class, that's essential to do so you don't fall behind. Issues like these give you a panic attack, and just...

5. When you first set foot on campus, you've got to admit, you were taken back by all of these pretty boys. New environment, new people, what's not to love? In fact, the boy at the registration table may have just stopped your heart.

6. You mumble this phrase over and over as you wake up ten minutes before your 8 a.m.:

7. Oh look, young Brad Pitt. If 'I hate you' is a phrase that really means 'I love you' at a drunken frat party, WE HATE YOU TOO BRAD!

8. There are times when you're under extreme amount of pressure, probably from finals or midterms, when some of your friends may think it's okay to laugh, joke and be loud, and you wonder...

But don't worry! we'll love you after our mental breakdown!

9. Has anyone ever gone to class, and then the professor told you to get out the homework that was due that you forgot was due?

No? just me?

10. And finally, Here are a collection of gifs with a Thanksgiving theme, seeing that Thanksgiving is three weeks away. Can you smell the turkey yet?! I love Thanksgiving. I think I need to invest in some maternity pants for the big day. I mean, they give, stretch and they allow for maximum food storage.

When you FINALLY sit down at your plate and look at it, you grin. You can defeat it. You're like...Thanksgiving royalty!

And then comes that time, about halfway through your second plate, when you think you can do it. You've tried pacing yourself, you're confident, and then...this happens.

Well, maybe next year.

Hope y'all enjoyed this week! See you next week with the epic conclusion!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
