College: As Told By Friends
Metro News

The struggles of college are too real, no words are able to describe them. However, Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Joey do a perfect job of communicating college feels.

1. Trying to make new friends freshman year like:

You don't have your high school friends anymore to walk around with you 24/7 so now you actually have to find people to hangout with. Most of us haven't done this since kindergarten and it can get a little awkward.

2. Roommate Struggles are too real sometimes

Roommates are hard to handle sometimes. This random person that you are living with can be completely opposite from you. Having a roommate that likes the room hot at night when you like it cold can make you want to cry. After you've taken off every article of clothing you possibly can and still sweating.

3. You realize walking to classes in the winter is the worst thing ever.

In January when it's -2 degrees out and you have to walk to the farthest building across campus for class. This is the time when you start to miss high school and only having to walk to your car or the bus stop to get to class.

4. Finals week has you like:

Hour 14, 7th cup of coffee, and still (barely) surviving.

5. You try to sound smart in class by answering a question and immediately regret that decision after you speak.

You formulated a great answer in your head but when it comes out of your mouth you sounded like a 2-year-old speaking for the first time.

6. When you regret your decision to schedule all 8 am classes.

You think it's a great idea to schedule 8 a.m.s but as you get further into the semester you realize your brain is not meant to handle that kind of interaction that early in the morning.

7. Midnight binge eating while studying feels

Studying is going great because you've been stuffing your face with chips and queso for the past hour. If you stop now, you'll most likely fail. Keep shoving that food in.

8. When you just don't know what you want anymore.

You can't make simple decisions anymore. The end of the semester comes and you start to loose your mind. Do you want food, sleep, Netflix, shower, gym, or do more studying? Tough decision.

9.You just have overall bad days sometimes.

You spilled your coffee on yourself, failed a quiz, the printer was broken so you couldn't print the paper for class, and the food in the dining hall was just especially terrible. Everyone has a bad day, some might have a bad week, others a bad semester. It always gets better. Hang in there.

10. Your family starts to comment on the little bit of weight you gained after the semester.

Family gatherings usually result in people commenting on the extra weight you put on since the last time they saw you. You just have to love your few extra pounds and own it.

11. After a long night of partying or bar hopping, you're really not feeling well the next day but you're just like:

You went out to the bar and partied way to hard on a Wednesday night, but it was a blast so you get up, get some coffee and strut across campus.

12. When college is over and you're just so not ready

Everyone is trying to make you feel OK about graduating, but you're silently crying on the inside.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
