Freshman Year Of College As Told By 'Riverdale'

Freshman year of college is the most memorable year of your life. What better way to tell the story of college than with gifs of adults playing high school students in what is arguably one of the most watched shows by college students who act like high school students but are trying to be adults?


Walking into your first class

You're a freshman, and you were just a senior and you don't yet know the college food chain. That quickly changes, and you realize you're at the bottom of the totem pole again.


Trying to convince your mother that you're ok

I mean she's only calling, like, fifteen times a day. In the morning. Between classes. At lunch. MOM I'M OKAY I PROMISE!


When you go to your first party

It can get kind of wild and crazy. Drinks are flying everywhere, and people are falling down, and it's so loud you can hardly hear your own thoughts. But it's fun and awkward and memorable.


After your professor posts your grades for your first test


That first test is always the hardest. You don't know what exactly to expect, so don't be disappointed when it isn't the best grade you've ever made.


When you see someone you knew in high school, and they look gooooood

People change a lot that year between high school and college. You might see someone you knew from your town or the town over and realize that they got cute all of a sudden.


After you give your friends a ride home from the bars

Let's face it: drunk college kids are messy. Your car is going to be full of trash, and there's a chance there may be some vomit in there, too. Maybe some blood? Who knows.


When you're trying to make new friends

Those first few weeks you talk to anyone and everyone trying to find who you fit in with. I shared meals with so many people I never really talked to again. This one time, I shared my ice cream with some random guys in my dorm because why not?


Pulling your first all-nighter

It's so frustrating, but it's bound to happen. You'll procrastinate and all your homework and three tests and two papers will fall on a Friday, and you'll have to stay up all Thursday night to get it done.


And realizing that your first year is almost over, but that there are only three more

It ends so soon... The year flies by, and there aren't that many years left and why am I breathing so heavy??? Why am I crying thinking about my impending graduation and having to get a real job??

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.
