In This Article:

Are you in college? Are you sick of your friends and family members bombarding you with questions about your future? About your GPA? About your love life?

Me too. Join the club of 20, petty and crying, before you're 30, Flirty and Thriving.

1. "OMG, you're only taking four courses? I used to take seven!"

Okay, cool, we get it. You can handle an extremely vigorous course load. But then again, there are some of us taking two labs a semester, so four classes are all we can mentally handle. Carry on.

2. "You work all weekend, how are you complaining you don't have money?"

This speaks for itself.

3. "Do you have an internship lined up yet? Are you taking summer courses?"

How about you let me get through this semester before you start grilling me about my near future? Thanks.

4. "Oh wow, you really filled out, didn't you...?"

YES! Thank you for noticing, it's called... STRESS. EATING. Also, eating late night drunken mac n' cheese with my besties. Not ashamed of it.

5. "You're always on your laptop, you must be really ahead on your homework, huh?"

NOPE. Sorry, Mom, hate to break it to ya.. but there's this thing called Netflix, and it consumes my life.

6. "How's your GPA this semester?"

Excuse you, I'm currently balancing friends, family, a job, my bank account, social outings on the weekend, cardio and doing laundry, and you have the audacity to ask about my grades?

7. "So what did you learn in class today? Anything fun?"

Some days I learn some pretty cool stuff, but some days I also DO NOT want to recite my entire lecture to you. 1. Because it'll bore you to tears. 2. I have to study it later, and right now, I just need a break from thinking.

8. "What do you mean you failed your test? I watched you study all week!"

Yeah, I may have studied all week, but I swear we didn't learn HALF the things on the exam!

9. "Do you have a boyfriend? Why don't you go on a date? Oh, I will help you find someone!"

I can barely take care of myself right now and you think I have time to allow someone to get to know me? You expect them to love my crazy tendencies? HA, I'm an emotional wreck.

10. "Where do you think you'll work after college?"

Seriously. Let me enjoy the rest of my career-free years.

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.
