College will be some of the best and worst times of your lives. You will meet friends that will last a lifetime, accomplish things that you never thought you could, and learn what being stressed REALLY feels like. There are certain feelings that every college student can relate to, making it hard for others to truly understand us, but Parks and Recreation explains it perfectly.


1. The feeling you get when you have enough time to take a nap

2. The uncontrollable sadness you feel when a professor only gives you a week to write a paper that is half of your grade

3. Leaving your last class on a Friday

4. The pure excitement that overcomes you when you see free food

5. The sudden lack of motivation you have for exercising

6. Getting offered an extra job to make some cash

7. Getting the notification that one of your professors has canceled class

8. When you realize that you have to act like a responsible adult

9. When your parents take you out to dinner when you come home to visit

10. When you ace an exam that you thought you were going to fail

11. When one of your professors gives assignments over Spring Break

12. When you finally see the videos of the stupid things you did the night before

13. When your hometown best friend finds a new best friend from their college

14. The feeling of continuously second guessing your major

15. When your computer dies the night before a huge assignment is due

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.

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.
