College As Told By "The Office"

The TV series "The Office" does a beautiful job of portraying exactly what I'm feeling a lot of the time as I travel through the journey called college. The moments of happiness, sadness, and "Why is this happening to me?" are all part of the great experience.

1. The first day of classes, when it feels impossible to do this all day.

2. The morning after a party when you're wondering exactly who you sent those great Snapchats to.

3. The night of the party...

4. Exam week, the longest five days of our lives.

5. When a professor gives you an assignment to do over break and says it's due the day you get back.

6. Writing a paper the night before it's due. Generally for me it's 4 a.m. and I'm sipping on Diet Coke wondering where I went wrong.

7. When it feels like every assignment in the world has been assigned to you in one day.

8. When someone hits on all of your friends but you. Don't worry, Darryl has been there too.

9. That kid that thinks the due dates don't apply to them.

10. When your friend group doesn't tell you what's going on, but you're not giving up that easily.

11. Finding an amazing group of friends who are there for you no matter what; it may have been difficult at first, but now you can't imagine your life without them.

12. When you're out of groceries and the cafeteria is closed.


13. Walking out of Biology.

14. After you get the best email a student can receive: that class is canceled.

15. When you receive your bill for the semester and realize you're going to be in debt for the rest of your life.

16. After taking the last exam before winter break.

17. You may be broke, but you always make sure you're friends have an awesome birthday. Even if you just print out decoration.

18. Going home for the first time feeling like you know everything there is to know about everything.

19. That kid who says the most frustrating things and you have to keep your cool.

20. When someone asks what's wrong after a very stressful day.

21. Leaving your friends, whether it be for a couple weeks, summer, or graduation. Goodbyes are hard and appreciating the times you have while you have them is so important because these are some of the best days of our lives.

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.
