Second Semester As Told By Joey Tribbiani

If there's one show every college student should watch at least once through, it's "Friends." It's hard to watch and not feel a connection to the New Yorkers trying to find their place in the world. I have engaged in many discussions over which "friend" each of my friends is most like. The more I watch, though, the more I'm convinced Joey is the best general representation of your run of the mill college student, especially during the second semester.

1. When you return from break refreshed and ready to take on the next four months.

2. When you realize you don't know anyone in your classes and have to play it cool.

3. When you promised yourself you'd actually try to look nice this semester, but give up 3 days in...

4. ...And then get invited to go out.

5. When someone tries to talk to you before you've finished your daily dose of caffeine.

6. Getting an email that says class is cancelled...

7. ...But there's an online quiz.

8. When you see people eating food that's not from the dining center.

9. When a test you're sure you failed is being handed back.

9. Telling people you don't even care anymore, but secretly panicking on the inside.

10. That moment of horror when you're about to go to sleep and realize you have a 10 page paper due the next day.

11. When you get to the point in the semester when you just can't.


12. When you and your classmates are studying for finals and have no clue what you're doing.

13. Questioning your career choices multiple times throughout finals week.

14. When the end is near so you attach yourself to your friends.

15. Making sure you get that one last roomie hug.


16. And finally when, on your first night home, you miss all of the chaos that is college.

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.
