We all have heard of the famous TV Host, Ellen Degeneres. While hosting her show on NBC at 3 P.M. every single day Monday through Friday, Ellen is known for being relatable.

In fact, as a college student, Ellen is sometimes VERY relatable.

1. Terrible eating habits

When you know you're getting the Freshman 15, then the sophomore, and then the junior. Oh please, do not let this continue into the senior year!

2. When you are a star student.

Okay, so maybe you actually turned your assignment in at 11:49 instead of 11:59 P.M. You deserve a medal! Who says participation medals are silly? You go ahead and get that 10% of your grade participation points!

3. Lecture feels

When you're in double block lecture trying to stay awake. Even in an 8 A.M. class, this will probably be you as your professor clicks through the endless amount of slides.

4. The beginning of the year

Go ahead, ask me for a fun fact. Do you want two truths and a lie? Want to know my major and year? You have been prepping for this day since last semester.

5. The struggle

When your life is going down the toilet and you feel like you're drowning in homework, don't. Go ahead and drown in a box of wine instead! It will make you feel better.

6. Going out

When you finish your box of wine and need to go out, dress like Ellen. Go out, and forget about your cares in the world and all of those assignments due at 11:59 P.M. tomorrow.

7. People need to be quiet.

You probably say this to that one annoying kid in class who wants to remind the professor about an assignment or a quiz. You also probably say this to people like your roomies on a Friday morning after a crazy Thursday night out at AXP or Phi Kap.

We may all watch Ellen at 3 P.M. every day but, as college kids, we also need to live like Ellen every day. No matter if you are working hard or maybe playing hard, remember to always be kind to one another!

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.
