College: As Told By The Office

We all know college is a weird time in the life of students. You're in a place you don't know, with people you don't know, doing things you don't know. Let's face it, working for a life we don't know. College is one gigantic question mark. But that's okay, because we're all just wandering around this place, bumping into things, falling down stairs, staying up way too late, laughing way too loud, playing "what are the odds," and eating too much junk food, together. In a lot of ways, the randomness of The Office perfectly parallels with the craziness that is college.

1. When you have to buy everything for yourself

Well, most things... Thanks dad!

2. When you try to find a group to belong to

You'll be shocked by how much you can change around different people.

3. Rolling into class on a test day and wondering who these people are

How are they prepared for this?! They haven't come to a single lecture!

4. When you keep getting distracted in lecture

No one wants to listen to a four-hour-lecture about nutrition. Fun fact: I'm writing this in said four-hour-nutrition-lecture.

5. When you decide to dress up for class

Those days to happen, and when they do, dang. People will talk to you that have never talked to you before. Which is both cool, and terrifying.

6. When you get put with idiots on a group project


It'll happen, hopefully it's only once. But be prepared, the questions they ask make you want to pull your hair out.

7. When you don't read the book and try to act like you know what's going on

Sometimes you're just too busy, but seriously though, do your readings, it helps. A lot.

8. When you're trying to convince people you "hang loose"

But in reality you're an uptight book worm, or you sleep literally all the time.

9. When you did super bad on a test, but your friend got an A

Not like you're bitter or anything...

10. When you had a bad day and just want to unwind

Maybe cuz that one friend did super good and you got a 60.

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.
