Nine Signs That Fall Semester Is Starting, As Told By '30 Rock'

1. Netflix is no longer asking you if you want to "continue watching."

Sad, I know. There is no more time for merciless binges and watching movies until the sun comes up. We will miss you, Netflix. But we will meet again soon(ish).

2. Monday through Fridays have become a war zone.

Classes, meetings, tests, quizzes, we're being bombarded from all directions. Staying sane has become an art, so may the odds be ever in your favor. Will you make it?

3. Saturdays are a blur and Sundays are dedicated to picking up your messes.

Saturdays are for decompressing and Sundays are for making up all the things you didn't do on Saturday. It's only fair that you have one to mess up and another to clean up after yourself.

4. You have more friends than you can count.

So many names, so little storage left inside my head. But so much love to spread around!

5. Food is absolutely precious, especially the food you buy.

I bet you never appreciated leftovers until college. Those restaurant leftovers are the only thing you look forward to during your day, don't you?

6. There's so much to do ALL THE TIME.

Even when there is nothing scheduled for the week, there is always something to keep you busy. Stressful? Of course, but I bet you wouldn't have it any other way.

7. Absolutely everything you plan doesn't go as expected.

It doesn't come as a surprise to know that everything you plan to do goes differently than expected. After all, what's college if not one huge adventure?

8. Being tired is just part of the routine.

It becomes part of our nature. Crazy schedules and procrastination influence this so much, but we choose to live with it.

9. You're as happy as you could be.

It's hectic and sometimes even horrible, but you wouldn't have it any other way. College is college, and we simply love it.

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.
