Let the hunger games of shame begin...

College Student Thanksgiving Struggles As Told By 'Bridesmaids'

It's that time of the year again folks... when the nightmarish bombardment of college questions head your way.

Rolling up to Thanksgiving with your baby cuz.


Strutting in post pregame.



And when your Mom pulls you aside to ask if you're drunk...

"C'mon Mom, if College has taught me anything, it's to be most functioning drunk guy"


The criticisms keep coming when you go for three plates of food.

"I've been perpetually starving for three whole months. Let me have this!"


Dinner begins and Aunt Peggy brings up politics.

Don't do this. Not today, Aunt Peggy.


So Grandma changes the subject and suddenly the college questions are flying your way.


And you gotta keep that #1 Grandaughter status.


"Have you made any friends?"

The library and I are real tight. Best of friends really. I offer it a warm, dying body and it gives me silence to bask in hell.


"Do you have a boyfriend?"

I often fall asleep to the voice of Michael Scott, so if you consider "The Office" a legitimate relationship, then yes. I know I do...


"Are you just loving it at school?"

It's the greatest trip to the underworld I could have imagined.


"Are you eating well, sleeping right, and taking care of yourself?"

Was that a joke?


Your cousin chimes in with how well they're doing.


So you gotta throw down some harsh criticisms.



But the family's there judging you judging, so you gotta act like you're not judging.

But you're still judging.

So when cousin Jane says she's traveling abroad with her best girlfriend and your family is stark-republican.

Revenge is sweet, Jane.


But deep down you're real butt hurt.


The next morning the emotional trauma of Thanksgiving dinner feels worse than a hangover.


You're headed back to college and they ask if you'll be back next year...

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.
