The First Semester For A College Girl, As Told By One Jennifer Lawrence

First semester freshman year is filled with ups and downs. I honestly barely survived mine. So, to relish those first 4 months of college, here's Jennifer Lawrence's view on some of my favorite moments from the cherished first semester.

Meeting your roommate and floor mates for the first time is both nerve-wracking and exciting. You try as hard as you can to seem like the average college freshman.

But you walk away assuming they all think you're super weird.

Your parents say their goodbyes and you realize you are actually alone.

However, on the inside you are freaking out.

Throughout the semester you see tons of cute guys. You barely speak to any of them.

You quickly learn how food court food gets of fast and spend lots of (way too much) money on food accordingly. You also have to pick food over lots of other things like more soap, extra toilet paper, and new clothes

Everytime and email comes notifying you that you got a care package you can only hope it is filled with treats and real food.

But sometimes the packages are filled with new pens, t-shirts, and halloween decorations.

The minor panic attack that crosses your mind when they realize you might want to change your major.

When the fire alarm goes off at 2am because someone forgot how to make popcorn.

You build up the courage to flirt with those cute guys I mentioned earlier.

Your teacher may tell you that attendance is mandatory but if they don't take it we know it is not true.

Arriving at parties and upperclassmen's apartments starving and praying they will have good food.

You realize that what everyone has said is true: Thanksgiving break is the biggest tease.

Finals.

But, first semester was great. So sit back, relax, and get ready because we've got seven more.

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.
