It's *literally* the best/worst time ever.

Ah, college. It can be the best time of your life, but it can be the worst at the same time. It just depends on the way things work out for you, I guess. You can go from the happiest, well put together human being to an emotional, stressed out wreck in a matter of five seconds. At least there is one thing that a lot of us can agree on. Sometimes you just need a good Netflix binge. Obviously I am not talking for everyone, but I would assume a lot of us have grown to love the show. And if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it. Here are some moments where the characters of Parks and Rec kind of just explain your life.

1. When you're sick and decide to google what's wrong because you don't have time to go to the doctor.

2. When you're down to your last $10 and you just really want tacos...

3. "You can consume that much coffee in one day?"

4. When all your professors decide to plan their exams ALL ON THE SAME DAY.

5. When attendance is a mandatory part of your grade.

6. When you submit your assignment with a minute to spare.

7. When there is a mandatory word count on an assignment.

8. When you have the worst day in the world.

9. When your professor starts off the class with "I know some of you don't want to be here today."

10. Group projects.

11. When you totally forget to do an assignment that was due.

12. Finals week.

13. When it is finally time to graduate.

14. Wait... but now what?

15. Trying to find a job during post-grad life.

16. Honestly, this just describes college in a nutshell.

Although we now only get to see "Parks and Rec" by the graces of reruns, I think those who have learned to love the show so much will always have a special place in our heart for the show. Hopefully, this makes you realize that college isn't so bad and can crack a joke over a thing or two.

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.
