Junior Year Of College As Told By 'New Girl'
Tumblr user allaboutnewgirl


I don't think it's too far of a stretch to say that college is hard. The classes are harder than high school, meeting new people is often stressful and living away from home is a big adjustment. Then, junior year hits, and every assignment, test and essay matters. Now, you have decided on a major and all the classes are upper level. The "real world" is slowly approaching and "adulting" becomes a daily task. My junior year taught me a lot of things, and I can't think of a better show to describe it than "New Girl":

When someone asks you how your midterms/finals/essay went:



When someone has perfect grades, an exciting social life and is the president of 47 organizations on campus:


When your roommates start fighting about who didn’t wash their dishes:



When you see teenagers and secretly envy their virtually stress free lives:



When you manage to meet every deadline and even start assignments early:

Sometimes, I would even make a dentist appointment for myself.


When you realize you’re never going to live with your parents again, and you have to pay bills now:


When you get paid and can finally buy food:


The face everyone gives you when you tell them that you're an English major:

Yes, I will get a job when I graduate. No, I'm not teaching.


Even though junior year was challenging, it taught me a lot about myself and living on my own. Bring on senior year!

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.
