The First Year Of College As Told By "As Told by Ginger"

I just really wanted to say "as told by 'As Told by Ginger.'"

My freshman year of college has been interesting, to say the least (I've been advised to not call it a sh*tshow, but that's pretty much what it was). My first year of college was my first time away from home, as is the case for many people, so I experienced a lot of things for the first time. So, what better way to describe one of the best, most insane years of my life than with a stream of GIFs from the sassiest show of the 2000s.

When you decided to start the year off strong and confident.

When you made your first college friend.

When you went to your first party and everyone was drinking but you.

When you made it through the first week.

When you first realized drama didn't actually stop in high school.

When you tried to make yourself look presentable for rush week.

When you had to clean EVERYTHING for the first time. Without help from your mom.

When you got your first college crush.

When you first realized college is more stressful that you could've imagined.

When you had to go back home for a few weekends because it all became too much and you realized how hard it was to not live with your family anymore.

When you got your first bad grade.

When you went on your first spring break trip and immediately regretted all of your decisions.

When you went to your first sorority formal and the whole squad was on point.

When it was the end of the second semester and exams were around the corner and you finally decided that you didn't need to do your hair and makeup every day.

When you realized you had two final exams to study for, three final papers, a final project, and a ridiculously large amount of late work to turn in the last week of school.

When you finally had to accept that you're an adult now. You're living in the real world and it's so hard to get by.

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.
