We are human. We are prone to embarrassing moments. Happens to the best of us.

When with a friend, it is easy to laugh it off and make fun of yourself to brush it off, but sometimes, these moments creep up on you when you're alone and you are left to fend for yourself in the time of embarrassment. This is just a reminder that these things happen to everyone. We don't judge, we feel for you.

1. Loud stomach growls

Sometimes we don't have time to eat breakfast before that 8 a.m.! So when you're taking a quiz in that class and suddenly there's a thunderstorm in your stomach, it can be quite the predicament. I chug water and hope for the best, but then that can lead to #6 on this list.

2. Cough attacks

In cold and flu season, a lot of us are relying on cough drops and DayQuil, but sometimes that one piece of dust in your throat ruins your day. There are not enough cough drops in the world to help this coughing fit.

3. Slipping on ice

When classes are not canceled yet the sidewalks and roads are an ice rink? Break out those figure skating skills because you're gonna really need them!

4. When your phone goes off

We all have those off days when we forget to turn our phones on silent. We have no one to blame but ourselves, but we like to blame the person who is calling us.

5. When you're in Javits and your chair squeaks

Especially during an exam... yikes! One tiny motion and all heads turn to you.

6. When you have to go to the bathroom after drinking a ton of water, but everyone would stare at you if you got up

The title says it all. Gotta stay hydrated, but sometimes, it's not the right time to get up to use the bathroom.

7. Taking a snooze

Morning classes are hard. Afternoon classes can also be a struggle. What time of a day is good for the sleep-deprived college student?

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.
