Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

High levels of swagger and high motivation coming through.

2. But all of that changes when you find someone in your favorite study spot

Wait, are you kidding me?

3. When you finally sit down (you had to resort to your third favorite spot) and check your to-do list like

SOS. I regret this decision.

4. When your grades are in but you're too afraid to press the button to check

Would I like to ruin my day or nah?

5. When you're working on a group project and trying to get everyone on the same page like

Let's try and keep up, people.

6. And then there's always that one genius in your group where you're just like

I trust you to lead us on the journey to more success.

7. When you and your group members finish your group project and pray it's good enough

Maybe if we all send positive thoughts we won't fail.

8. When prospective student tours go through the library and you're trying to act like you have your life together, but in reality

Not tryna freak you out but I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown right now. LOOK AWAY.

9. When you're really hungry but also really tired so eating looks a little something like this

It only missed my mouth by a little okay??

10. When you convince everyone in the group chat to join you at the lib so they can suffer through studying with you

God bless you all.

11) But by the time they get there it's too late

It's been nice knowing you fam.

12. When you and your friends said you were going to take a quick study break but end up too far gone in the depths of the internet.

We have passed the point of no return. :/

13. When the people next to you are being really loud

Just because it's nicknamed club lib doesn't mean you have to act like it's one. :/

14. When you're on your second cup of coffee and the caffiene is still not kicking in

"I hate Mondays."

15. When you finally decide to leave for the night like

Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow.

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.
