Okay, I'm not gonna lie. Ever since Drake put out the music video for "I'm Upset" from Scorpion, which was a reunion of him as Jimmy and his Degrassi: The Next Generation castmates (minus J.T. and Sean), I've been binge watching the show for almost four months straight. It's hard to believe, but the show first came out in Canada seventeen years ago on CTV, and made its American début on The N (now known as TeenNick) almost six months later. And after all this time, I will say that it still holds up, even though I'm not in high school anymore.

Like the characters of Degrassi, Communications students are moving towards a variety of careers in the field, such as filmmaking, journalism, marketing and society research. Although they're all in college, they still feel the same anxiety and pressure that the high-school-aged characters do, regardless of the real-life issues that come their way. Pretty much everyone looks like they have it all together, and they've got everything figured out, but trust me when I saw that almost all of us really don't. This is the life of a Communications Major, as told by "Degrassi: The Next Generation".

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.
