College Pains, As Told by Pheobe Buffay

College Pains,  As Told by Pheobe Buffay

We've all experienced it by now -- the highs and lows of going out, meeting new people, sitting through classes we don't know why we're taking and just the overall basic pains of being a broke college student.

You've been through it all, like...

When you start to see your home friends with new best friends:

Syllabus week ends, and professors hit you with their best shot while you're still stuck in party mode. It's okay, though, because you at least tried your best on the assignments.

You're out of money...again. We all should have been saving up for these four years since we were 12 years old -- why didn't anyone tell us?

However they DID tell us over christmas break that our faces looked a little "fuller" and our pants were just a little tighter...which sent us all in a frenzy to the gym, like:

And then you have your sacred nights in. Seemingly nothing can get you out of bed and into heels, no matter how hard your friends beg.

Especially a few nights before an exam. The end goal of college is getting a job, after all. However, knowing your friends they keep pursuing.

And they finally hook you by telling you the fraternity they're going out to.

So, in a frenzy, you try to get ready and run into the ever-so-common sorority girl problem:

And then you find an outfit in one of 20 other of your friend's closets.

And take the night by storm like: 

And the first drink goes down like:

And then the second gets a little easier... 

And then you run into that one guy who you may have said hi to once three months ago who hasn't gotten the hint or left you alone since, and you get thinking..,

And -- like every night out -- you begin to see people left and right. Some you may know, some you may have looked up on Instagram a few dozen times, and some you may have never known go to your university.

As the night progresses, you begin to see your friends' alter-egos appear. One is crying in the bathroom...

While the other is consoling her like: 

But then another one is on the couch having a grand time.

And you still can't decide if you should have stayed in that night.

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.
