At college, I feel like one of the most widely-watched shows is The Office. After watching the show through and through, multiple times, I decided that every college student can relate to Michael Scott. Here are 23 ways we've all been on the same page as the World's Best Boss.

1. Awkwardly making new friends

2. Every time you have to do anything regarding FAFSA

3. Giving a presentation on something you know nothing about

4. The parking lot is every man for himself

5. How you look at yourself in the mirror after a long night out

6. After going to Wawa for the 10th time in one week

7. When class participation counts for a large portion of your grade

8. When your professor calls you out in front of the class for being on your phone

9. When you need to hit a specific word count on an essay

10. When you check your bank account and you have -$4.00

11. Group projects

12. Always cite your sources

13. When it's 3AM and you've been up all night working on a paper

14. The one person that always reminds the professor about the homework

15. Class until 9:50pm on Thursday night

16. When your professor wants your presentation to be more interactive with the class

17. When you finally find a parking spot and someone else tries to take it

18. When your paper is due tomorrow and all you have done is the heading

19. "Weekend calories" and "the freshman 15"

20. After doing poorly on an exam you studied for

21. And, for the most part, I know a lot of us feel like this

22. But luckily we always have the weekend

23. And sometimes, all we really need is a little self-encouragement

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.
