12 Stages Of Going To The Dining Hall, As Told By 'The Office'

If you go to a college where the food is amazing and you're content with the offerings of the dining hall, please stop reading.

If you go to a state school where there is simply no budget for decent food, or a private school that's just either cruel or lazy... this is the article for you. Keep reading and weep with me.


1. Walking in, and realizing you're actually paying money for the culinary monstrosities you're about to witness.

2. Trying to be optimistic as you're looking over the delectable choices.


3. Seeing something that looks semi-good, then walking up to it and seeing a fly sitting on it.


4. Finally accepting that nothing else looks edible and you're going to have to eat yet another salad.


5. Making your sad salad and seeing the vegetables floating in their own filth water.


6. When the salad tongs spazz out in your hand and you drop onions all over the floor right as a large group of people walk by.


7. Finally finishing crafting your half-edible salad, and trying to convince yourself it doesn't look TOO bad.

8. When the only open seat is next to somebody who's breathing heavily and singing to themselves.


9. Sitting down and getting ready to dig in to your ... 'lunch.'


10. Powering through the most horrific meal of your life, knowing that the one you have tomorrow will probably be worse.


11. Finishing the last bite and simultaneously wondering why you haven't transferred schools yet.


12. When the best part of the meal comes - leaving the dining hall with an ice cream cone.

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.
