College Struggles, As Told By Ellen DeGeneres

Some of her funniest moments are more than relevant to our daily college struggles.

College Struggles, As Told By Ellen DeGeneres

College can be the BEST four years of your life, but let me reiterate that it can be a struggle at times. You are finally free and independent, it's time to live it up. It's also time to cry in a corner from all the stress.

Ellen speaks the truth 24/7, and if you're not utterly obsessed with her, then I am judging you. On another note, as I've come to realize some of her funniest moments are so relevant to so many of our "the struggle is real" college moments. Enjoy.

1. When this is what you like to tell yourself, but you try to make it thru one day without the addictive drink, and it is an absolute fail:


2. When you decide to wear a "Groutfit" (all grey everything) to class because you don't want everyone to fall in love with you -- or you're just the laziest human being alive. YEAH, THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT:


3. When stress eating becomes a social norm. Eating an entire pizza by yourself while binge watching Netflix is completely necessary sometimes. #SorryNotSorry:


4. When you attempt to rationalize why you should get points back on a test to a professor (thank you Google):


5. When you're broke and you jump for joy when your parents send you some money in the mail. (It's gone in a week BECAUSE FOOD):


6. When the professor is trying to have a confusing lecture on a Monday morning:


7. When your professor says "POP READING QUIZ" and you're just like CAN WE NOT:


8. When your professors all decide to ruin your life by assigning a group project, tests, papers -- ALL DUE AT THE SAME TIME. Yes, they want us dead:


9. When you're so stressed out and confused about what your life even is at the moment that you just have to laugh. BUT THEN YOU START BAWLING THE NEXT MINUTE:


10. When you realize that you have three tests in the same week, and you know absolutely nothing:

Oh.... YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.

Now there is a totally logical explanation for procrastination. You heard it from Ellen, so it must be true!

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.
