Laugh-Breaks! (In Honor of SNL40)

Laugh-Breaks! (In Honor of SNL40)

Oh no. School is getting real. The papers and tests that seemed so far away are getting closer, and now we're forced to face approaching deadlines. Most of us will wake up in the library with Nutella at the corner of our mouths. We'll be dazed and a little confused, concerned with how much time has passed or when we last took a shower. In between the intense studying, we may find ourselves watching Netflix or Youtube sidebar surfing. 

This Sunday, SNL celebrated its 40th anniversary. The live sketch show has made people laugh for years, and it continued to so in a three and a half hour special on Sunday. In honor of the anniversary, here are some of the underrated and some of the best of the best:

1. Debbie Downer

Rachel Dratch originated Debbie Downer, a hilarious character who manages to ruin the best of everything. I love this one so much, though, because even the actors can't ignore how funny the writing is.

2. Garth and Kat

Fred Armisen and Kristen Wiig's improvised songs are ridiculous and enjoyable, and they often appear to even surprise themselves.

3. Church Chat

One of SNL's most iconic characters, the church lady would chastise the world for their wrongdoings and give guests a piece of her mind. 

4. Digital Short: Doppelganger

In a less known but bizarrely comical digital short, Andy Samberg, Will Forte, and Seth Meyers find each others' "doppelgangers" while on their lunch break.

5. Single Ladies

A change in back-up dancers messes with the dynamic of Beyonce's music video. All of us should aspire to be "hot like dance biscuits."

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
