Marsupials Explain What It's Like to Be Home for the Summer
Xenlife

Going back home for the hottest months of the year is a unique experience, especially if you've just been away at college. While your friends are advancing their careers through internships, or saving children in foreign countries, you're probably on your sixth existential crisis/Gilmore Girls episode of the day. The strange feeling of being back home is a difficult one to explain, but these adorable marsupials understand!

Sleeping all day...

Koalas sleep 20 hours a day and get high off plants for the remaining four, a rigid schedule similar to that of the stereotypical collegiate's.

...and coming alive at night:

Sugar gliders know how to parrrrtay.

When nobody's gone grocery shopping yet so you eat whatever you can find:

This quokka's pissed he couldn't make it to Whole Foods last week.

Hanging out with your friends that are still in high school:

Wish I could keep my baby koala/high school friends safe in my pouch.

When your friends ask you to drive:

The new Chevy Opossum seats up to six.

Seeing your whole squad at the party:

A wooden box full of crazed opossums is seriously my type of get-together.

When you see a "Now Hiring" sign:

Wallabies don't need summer employment, because being cute is a FULL-TIME JOB.

Reuniting with your BFFs:

After years of friendship, they're totally koala-fied to put up with your hometown cabin fever.

"Come over I have snacks"

Hope this wombat makes it before the Cheez-Its are gone.

Seeing someone from your high school in public:

"YOU AGAIN."

When someone hints that you're lazy for not getting a job/internship/your life together yet:

In conclusion, there's no shame in not having Big Plans this summer. If any of your internship-serving, Europe-backpacking pals ask how your summer's going, show them some relatable marsupials instead of trying to hype it up.

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.
