College Explained By "New Girl"

College Explained By "New Girl"

When you have to give yourself a pep talk for the first week back.


The moment you start to regret that 8:30 a.m. class.


When all the back-to-school actives start and you get all the free snacks.


After your last class of the week is dismissed.


Any time you're asked about your diet regiment during the semester.


When you're trying not to fall asleep and the professor calls on you unexpectedly.


After your friend asks you if you want to go shopping but your bank account says "no."


When you decide to skip class to finish season eight of "Grey's Anatomy."


When it's 11 p.m. and you forgot that you have a five-page paper due in an hour.


The moment you realize you've already changed your major three times and still have no idea what you want to do.


When your mom calls you on the weekend and asks if you're still in bed.


The moment you realize you've been binge watching "SVU" for six hours straight and you need to justify it to yourself.


When you only have a month left in the semester and your professors keep assigning papers.


When you've been studying all day with no end in sight.


When your professor says that your final project is worth 30 percent of your grade.


But the semester ends and you remember why you did this "college thing" in the first place.

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.
