College As Told By 'Elf'

College As Told By 'Elf'

It's that time of the year again! Thanksgiving is over, it's time to crank up the Christmas music and deck the halls. In the spirit of getting excited for Christmas, here is college life told by one of the best Christmas movies of all time, 'Elf':

1) You're late to your 8am class, you look like a mess, all you want to do is sleep, and your professor greets you at the door oblivious to the fact it's 8:10 in the morning and you woke up 4 minutes ago.

2) When you were growing up, you were taught to look both ways before crossing the street. Now, in college, you walk across the street without checking traffic, daring the cars to hit you so you can use that money to pay off your student loans.

3) When your professor tells you not to worry because there won't be anything on the final that you haven't discussed in class. And then you look at the first question on the final...

4) Sitting in your room at 3:45 a.m. typing the paper due at 8 a.m. that you promised yourself you would have done two weeks ago when it was assigned.

5) Those midnight munchies cravings.

6) When you check your grades for the first time in three weeks.

7) Telling everyone the reason for your bad grades is your bad professor.

8) Buddy is college, and you are Buddy's dad.

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.
