The Life Of A College Student

As told by Nick Miller

College is such a great time. You are broke, you barley get any sleep, your life is consumed with pulling all-nighters and forgetting about quizzes, and your diet consists of vodka and Ramen. Nick Miller accurately describes the life of a college student.

When one of your friends gets engaged:


We have all been there. We want to be happy, but we are jealous, but we are happy, but we are crying.

When you're the DD at the party, but your friends want you to get up and dance:

When you're in a boring class:

When your crush likes your Instagram post:

Don't lie, you do the same thing.

Reading your friends' Happy Birthday posts:

When you're really feeling your outfit, but your friends tell you that you look stupid:

But you don't care, because you feel hot to trot!

Using your fake ID at the bar:

When you yell at your friend, but they love you anyway:

We have all been there -- after a long night, we snap at our friend, but they don't take it to heart and they love us anyway.

When you didn't study for your quiz, but your friend did:

When you actually dress up for class and everyone asks you why:

Duh...

When your parents ask why the money they gave you for groceries was spent at the liquor store:

Uhhhhh, well... I can explain...

When a cutie buys you a drink at the bar:

When you have a presentation, and you go into the bathroom to give yourself a last minute pep talk:

When your parents ask why you're failing biology:

When your crush winks at you:

And you're awkward and do the first thing that comes to mind.

When you go to your professor's office hours:

Coming back from Spring Break:

And getting your paper back from that Monday.

When you're at the party, but your mom calls:

Going out on a Thursday night when you have an 8 a.m. on Friday morning:

And I'm sure it will happen again next week.

Waking up after a night out and drinking all of the water in the Brita filter:

When you finally get enough courage to go talk to your crush:

When you meet up with that Tinder match:

And they turn out to be the weirdest person you've ever met.

Reading your drunk texts from the night before...

Going home and having a real meal for the first time in months:

Watching two seasons of "Grey's Anatomy" in one day:

Asking yourself why you would put yourself through a week long all-nighter for finals:

Getting your grades back at the end of the semester, and knowing your hard work paid off:

College can be tough, and sometimes can seem like it's more trouble than it's worth, but hang in there!

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.
