College is quite the experience and simplifying it to just that one word is an understatement.

So to try and explain it as best as possible, here is college as described by Christmas Vacation because let's face it, we can all relate to Clark W. Griswold Jr.

When you look over pictures from your relatives and friends carrying on back at home and get nostalgic.

When you finally get an A on a test that you studied for hours for.

When you notice one of your friends at a party.

Saying goodbye to your classes at the end of the fall semester.

When your life is falling apart but you have to make the best of the situation.

Going out to eat and them remembering all the stuff you have to get done.

Netflix calling your name when you know you should be doing homework.

Eating the "chicken" at the cafeteria.

When that one guy tries to go in for the kiss at a party.

When you're working on a really difficult group project and it finally clicks.

Writing out a to-do list

Looking at your grades for the first time in months.

Seeing your friend do something stupid at a party.

Having to explain yourself after a night out to your roommate.

Because this was you the night before.

When your professor gives you a particularly difficult test problem.

Trying to make it to class when you're running late.

When a relative asks how college is going.

Running into your crush and forgetting how to communicate.

Opening your closet after you haven't cleaned in a week.

Trying to convince your friend to get rid of that boi.

Checking your bank account and thinking you have $250 but really you have $2.04.

When people decided to dress up as clowns and terrorize students on college campuses.

Getting done with one paper and feeling good and then getting hit with another one.

Leaving the library after a twelve hour cram sesh for finals.

and finally...

Cleaning out your backpack at the end of a very long yet fun semester.

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.
