Going Back To College, As Told By Ron Swanson
Slashfilm

As summer comes to a close, returning sophomores, juniors, and seniors everywhere prepare to return to their home away from home. With those freshmen year nerves behind us (for the most part), we can just sit back, relax, and revel in the excitement of seeing far away friends again before throwing everything back into the car at the very last second.

As you prepare for that impending reunion with our favorite campus hotspots and daydream about our new dorm, look below to see all your emotions captured by everyone favorite unenthused government worker. Ron Swanson knows what's up.

When you realize move-in is only a week away.

When someone asks you if you're ready to go back to school.

... and then they ask you if you're ready for your classes.

When you finally finish packing.

When you have to say goodbye to your friends and family, but you're bad at conveying how much you'll miss them.

When you have to say goodbye to your dog.

When you remember you have an unlimited meal plan.

But then you remember you actually have to eat fruits and vegetables.

When you're finally reunited with your squad ...

... and when you're finally reunited with the ice cream machine.

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.
