Going Back To College, Told By Friends

Your life's a joke, you're broke, and your love life's D.O.A.

Going Back To College, Told By Friends
Friends, NBC

If you haven't seen the iconic TV show Friends, then you aren't really a college student. If you have binged watched the series, then you probably already know that the struggles of Ross, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe, Monica, and Chandler are not that different from our everyday struggles. If the characters of Friends had to describe the bittersweetness of returning to college, here's what they'd say:

1. You're really excited to see your roommate, but you're also still adjusting to sharing a room with another human being.

2. After a summer without waking up early every day, you realize that you forgot how to do morning classes. The professor may notice.

3. You temporarily forgot how to study and you're already spending the first week trying to get control of your life.

4. About 10 minutes into your attempts to study, you invent new and creative ways to procrastinate.

5. Even as an upperclassman, you are still trying to convince your peers that you are a normal human being.

6. You realize that you forgot how to flirt, too.

7. Ultimately, you're happy to be back because you missed your people. They're just as weird as you.

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.
