College Life As Told By Tina Fey

Tina Fey is, without a doubt, one of the biggest names in comedy today. Whether she's appearing on "Saturday Night Live," writing her book, "Bossypants," chatting on a late-night talk show, getting a laugh on "30 Rock" or starring in one of her many hysterical movies, her actions and reactions are related to by so many, but they are especially relevant for those of us in college. Every aspect of university life can be simply and clearly explained by Fey's most shining moments, and here they are:

1. The first time you go to your dining hall and see all of the options:

2. Two weeks later, when you realized that they're going to be serving the same under-seasoned mush for the entire school year and you want to appeal the cost of your meal plan:

3. When you've stopped eating at the dining halls and have resorted to calling for delivery far too often:

4. Trying not to erupt at that student who always argues with the professor:

5. Your professor tells you to start on your research paper, which isn't even due for six weeks:

6. When you ace a test, but you don't know anyone in your class, so you have to celebrate by yourself:

7. After you contribute a red-hot point to the class discussion:

8. When someone counters the aforementioned point:

9. Coming back to class after missing a lecture:

10. When all of your professors have obviously conspired against you and assigned tons of work at the same time:

11. Getting all of your classes for the next semester set up and knowing that you have the best professors at the best times:

12. The moment when your professor asks the class a question and you have to pretend like you're trying to figure out the answer so they won't call on you:

13. When you're still passing the class after your professor puts in midterm grades:

14. Walking out of the library after a particularly intense group study session:

15. Seeing high school kids on tours:

16. Meeting that person you really can't stand in the dorm:

17. When you hear someone crying in the hallway, so you try to be supportive but you genuinely don't know what to say:

18. Trying to get away from that one person who always tries to talk to you in the morning when you're barely awake:

19. When you need "dinner" at 2 A.M.:

20. Meeting families and significant others in your pajamas when your hallmates bring them over:

21. Coming home from Target and immediately opening all of the snacks that you just purchased:

22. Having random dance parties in the dorms, often in pajamas and towels:

23. Leaving your room on Friday nights:

24. Alternatively, staying in your room on Friday nights:

...and finally, finals week.

25. Having to take a huge final for a class that you have an amazing grade in:

26. Coming out of your speaking competency test:

27. Your ~look~, which is not quite makeup-tutorial ready:

28. And of course, that moment when you just can't take it anymore.

At least we have Tina to get us through it all.

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.

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.
