30 Times College Life Was Just Like 'Parks And Recreation'

Being in college often presents us with an array of problems, some serious, others not so much. Between endless amounts of homework and constant anxiety, we still somehow find time to go out on the weekends (and some weekdays). This struggle can be perfectly summed up thanks to the wonderful cast of "Parks and Recreation," we thank you.

1. When a family member asks how school is going.


2. When someone asks you why you just ordered $75 worth of clothes when you still haven't paid off your dues for this semester.


3. When you find out you have three tests on Friday and you were planning on going out Thursday night.

4. When your friends force-feed you tequila shots.

5. When you decide to skip class last minute but your friend still signs you in.

6. When you finally get the courage to talk to the hot football player.

7. When you sleep through your alarm and you have a test in 15 minutes.

8. When your friend picks you up at 3 a.m. so you don't have to walk home.

9. When you find out who you made out with last night.

10. When someone asks you why you're going out on a Monday night.

11. When you see your ex-boyfriend with an ugly girl at a party.

12. When your teacher makes you do icebreakers the first day of class.

13. When your roommate asks you if you ate their leftover food in the fridge.

14. When you have to stay in because you have homework but you're watching all your friends snap stories.

15. When the same girl spills her drink on you for the fifth time.

16. When you accidentally tell your best friend you made out with the same guy she made out with.

17. When you're trying to figure out what to wear to go out but your friends aren't paying attention.

18. When its finals week.

19. When a boy tells you you're being crazy.

20. When you see the boy you turned down out with another girl.

21. When you're trying to describe the dining hall food to your friends at home.

22. When your academic advisor asks what your plans are for next semester.

23. When you try to eat healthy for a day.

24. When it's only a Tuesday.

25. When you let your friend go home with a hot boy.

26. When your teacher tells you the first day of class that your final is a group project.

27. When your at breakfast the next morning after a long night.

28. When you're trying to make the word count on an important paper.

29. When it's finally Friday.


30. College, we love you.

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.
