College Life, As Told By Lorelai Gilmore
Christina Amato

Lorelai Gilmore is one of the funniest moms of all time. Through all 7 seasons of "Gilmore Girls," the fiercely independent mother of Rory has managed to crack us up with her babbling, her encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture, and relatability to college students, even as a 35-year-old.

1. When you feel like there isn't enough coffee to keep you awake for classes

Believe me, we have all had this thought at some point!

2. When you have no idea what to write for your paper, have $67 in your bank account, and are wondering if you should keep your major

Maybe not entirely helpless.

3. When you're confident with your studies

I carry the intelligence.

4. Waking up early, especially on a weekend is not on your calendar

Who needs to get up early on a weekend when we have already dealt with club meetings, memorizations, and 203 pages of reading a week?

5. When your schedule is so stinking full

Is the jungle green?

6. When you feel like dieting doesn't exist

The dining hall should earn an award for the freshman 15 and senior 16.

7. Packing to go home or back to school like . . .

Come on, this is has happened to you every time you pack to go home or go back to campus.

8. Trying to convince your friends that you don't need to date someone from your class like . . .

Same, Lorelai, same.

9. When the weekend has gone too fast

Every . . . single . . . Sunday!

10. When you don't want to deal with your problems

Can I just not let problems bring me down and think about unicorns and rainbows?

11. When you're just out of it

The tickets to Escape-From-Reality Land.

12. Trying to get through a bad date like . . .

Sounds like a plan.

13. When you're sick of hearing the same story over and over

Looks like it's going to be one of my Gilmore Girls catchphrases.

14. When you pass all of your classes

Every single end of the semester.

15. Trying to prove you're capable of staying in college

Not a little kid anymore. I just gotta study, slip my Uggs on, and show everyone what kind of person I am.

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.
