Why "Friends" Accurately Sums Up Your College Experience
Thought Catalog

College can be a stressful, scary, yet fun time. At the end of the day, your best F.R.I.E.N.D.S. are always there for you.

When you have to pay rent for the first time.


When the lecture in class just drags on and on.

When you come home to your roommate who has friends over.


When your parents give you a hard time about the freshman 15.

When a cute guy sits next to you in class.

When your friends ask for help on their assignments, and you have your own to do.

When you have an awful, very bad, no good day and just need to relax.

When you go out and no one will play BP with you.

After you finished your first speech for class.

When you have that professor who makes bad jokes no one understands.

When your roommate finishes off the ice cream.

When your friends ask you to edit their papers.

When you get a home cooked meal for the first time in months.

When you realize you have to go chapter on Sunday.

When you get free drinks at the bar.

When you are studying for your Spanish midterm.

When you fail a test you stayed up all night studying for.

When you hear about the things you did over the weekend.

When this is all you get out of your history lecture.

When you get invited to a theme party during a busy week.

When the person next to you in the library starts telling you about their relationship issues while you're trying to study.

When you show up to go out and your friends are still in sweats.

When you forget to do the assignments you were assigned over spring break.

When you get to a party late.

When you get asked what you want to do with your major.


When you go to events around campus just because there is pizza.

When you realize what really matters is your friends.



When you are in a group project and get a bad grade.

When you splurge and go out to eat -- and get dessert.

When you realize you don't need boys to have a good time.

When it is negative degrees and your class is across campus.

When you run out of mixers during a pre-game.

When you're taking life too seriously.

When your realize your best judgement, isn't the best call.

When you see your friends getting really rowdy in public.

Remember, even if you think you don't have anyone, the pizza guy is always there.

And finally, never be afraid to dance!

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.
