Freshman year of college is full of new things. New people, new classes, new places. It also means there's a whole world of movies shows for incoming freshman to see and relate to.

1. Grown-ish

While I refuse to call ABC Family by its ridiculous new name, Freeform (why?), the network is home to a slew of great shows, including Grown-ish. Starring Black-ish Yara Shahidi, this adorable comedy explores the joys and tragedies of being a college freshman.

2. Undeclared

Any fan of Freaks & Geeks should give Undeclared a try. Created by Judd Appatow. The series follows freshman Steven Karp (Jay Baruchel), hoping to find a fresh start in college. This gem of a tv show has many things in common with Freaks & Geeks, including the sad fact that both shows only lasted one season.

3. Felicity

One Tree Hill fans will love Felicity. This charming series, created by J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves, ran for four seasons on the WB. Watch four seasons of Felicity Porter's (Kerri Russell) bad haircuts, love triangles, and unrealistically large dorm rooms.

4. The Graduate

Enjoy your college years while you have them. This darkly funny film follows a recent college graduate embark upon the real world; and realize his best years may be behind him. Good luck seniors!

5. Mistress America

College isn't easy for everyone. This sweet, friendship-fueled, screwball comedy follows awkward, lonely Tracy (Lola Kirke), navigating her difficult freshman year of college. The film stars the marvelous Greta Gerwig, director and writer of Lady Bird. (If you haven't seen Lady Bird, please stop reading this article and start watching Lady Bird).

6. Everybody Wants Some

This low-key comedy, hails from the creators of Dazed and Confused. The film set in 1980, Texas, follows a freshman baseball player. It's perfect for anyone looking for a laid-back, laugh filled night.

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.
