My College Experience As Told Through 'School of Rock'

Every college student thinks that they're the center of the universe, and, if I'm being honest, we're probably right. Having people cook for you, reading intellectual material, and making everlasting memories with friends can be incredibly tiring, and this can contribute to the downward spiral our lives often take. Here's a depiction of our struggling lives through the lens of Jack Black's experiences in that classic American film, "School of Rock:"

1. What you tell your disciplined friends who want to fit into the hot new clothes you all just bought:

2. When you're the sober friend trying to rally the drunken herd:

3. The concern you show for your drunken friend:

4. What you tell any upperclassman who approaches you:

5. The pump-up speech you give yourself Saturday morning after a rough Friday night:

6. When you join your friends at dinner after an all-day library visit:

7. The advice you give anyone:

8. What you tell your friends who don't understand your decision to stay in for the night:

9. How to coach your friend who's trying to finish her twentieth shot:

10. The meeting with your advisor goes something like this:

11. When you arrive at breakfast looking slightly homeless and everyone wants the story:

12. The mindset of 75 percent of liberal arts students:

13. Finals week:

14. What you want to tell your parents when they ask about your post-graduation plans:

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.

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.
