College Thoughts Told By Friends

College. One of the biggest changes in our lives. There's so many things going through your head and a mile long list of things you're worried about. But it's also a really great time! (Friends is also a really great show to binge watch in college.)

"Just because she went to Yale drama, she thinks she’s like the greatest actress since, since, sliced bread!"-Joey

Some people will think they're super great because of where they went to high school. But honestly, once you get to college no one will care where you went to high school or where you came from. Again, some people will think that it still matters, but in reality it does. not. matter.

"All right, kids, I gotta get to work. If I don’t input those numbers… it doesn’t make much of a difference." -Chandler

This is how I feel on a pretty regular basis towards my homework, my job, going to class, all of the above actually. Sometimes you just have to realize that certain things really don't make a difference towards your life. But you're paying for college. So get your stuff done, and you'll feel better.

"THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION!"- Phoebe

You're going to get sick of hearing the same things over and over and over again. Because regardless of what class you take, some Professors will repeat every ounce of information they give you. Eventually you have to just laugh and nod.

"It’s a moo point. It’s like a cow’s opinion; it doesn’t matter. It’s moo." -Joey

You will hear some opinions that you truly think are idiotic. But with the whole freedom of speech thing everyone is allowed to say what they want to in class. There is always that one person with the opinion that is just absolute nonsense. Just laugh.

"You could not be any more wrong. You could try, but you would not be successful."- Ross

Again, opinions will fly out of peoples mouths during class and you most likely won't agree with all of them. Some might make sense, but I promise that there will always be a few that don't make any sense. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but they can just be completely wrong.

"You’ve been BAMBOOZLED!"- Joey

I felt like all of my professors were thinking this at the end of every morning lecture. Those morning classes are so early, and at that time of day no one makes any sense. But I mean even the afternoon classes made me feel this way. College is a lot of bamboozling.

"Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You're going to love it!" -Monica

College can be the rudest awakening for some people. The real world sucks, and it hits you like a ton of bricks when you get to college. Don't get me wrong, college is great. But it also can be the worst thing ever. You'll survive, don't worry about it.

"I’m not so good with the advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?"- Chandler

Any time anyone asks for advice I feel exactly like this quote. I'm never in a place to give anyone advice because I'm too afraid I'll screw up someone else's life not mine. But, like Chandler, I also can give great sarcastic comments. I'm chalk full of them. Advice-no. Sarcastic comment- yes.

"JOEY DOESN’T SHARE FOOD."- Joey

And last but not least, my favorite quote. College makes people really territorial about food. We all are hungry 24/7 and eat almost anything. We're sort of like Gremlins, but a little cuter. We just really like our food and have zero desire to share it with anyone. If I share my food with you then you should feel really lucky, I either love you or don't like the food item.

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.
