Life As A College Student As Told By Parks And Recreation

For those of you who have been lucky enough to watch the hilarious brilliance of Parks and Recreation, you know how relatable this show is. For those of you who haven't: start watching immediately after reading this article. (It's on Netflix, you have no excuse). Parks and Rec is everything I want to be. Take characteristics from Leslie, Andy, April, Ron, Chris, and Ben and BOOM you're a perfect human being. You can relate even more if you're a college student.

1. When you wake up hungover for your 8 a.m.

2. When you had a really hard day, so you convince yourself you deserve Chipotle.

3. When some one asks what you want to do with your life.

4. When you actually have to decide what you want to do with your life.

5. When you walk into class on the first day and you see an open seat next to your friend.

6. When someone asks you if you did the homework you heard nothing about.

7. When someone asks you how you are during finals week.

8. When you're out and remember you have an online assignment due at 11:59.

9. When the entire class fails the test and your teacher won't curve it.

10. When you look at your friends notes after one day of missed classes.

11. When you get an A on a test you think you failed.

12. When you're trying to find motivation to study for your tests.

13. When your teacher unexpectedly cancels class.

14. When you and your roomie wake up after a night of going out.

15. When your teacher assigns a group project.

16. When you're trying to drown your sorrows.

17. When you see a really cute boy on campus walking towards you.

18. When you walk into class and someone is sitting in your seat.

Thank you, Parks and Recreation, for getting me through college.

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.

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.
