Ellen Degeneres is basically one of the funniest people alive. She has money, fame, wealth, a beautiful wife, her own television show, this list could go on forever. However, despite all of her success, she still manages to understand the struggle that college students go through on a daily basis.

Getting ready in the morning and having to remember this essential step:

Falling asleep in your 8 a.m lecture because you stayed up too late:

Walking into class late because you overslept:

Bonus points if you walked in with Starbucks because you're so late that you no longer care.

Your response when your teacher calls on you in class and you aren't paying attention:

Your sarcastic response when the person you sit next to in your class is bragging about how productive and successful they are in their classes:

No one cares that you are making all A's while in twelve clubs and volunteering at a soup kitchen twice a week.

Having to put a picture on your Snapchat story every time you hang out with your friends:

When you are studying and one of your friends walk in so you feel the need to give them a lesson in what you are learning:

The struggle of ordering a pizza at midnight because you are stressed and eating the whole thing by yourself:

Every time it rains on campus for more than a day:

Not everyone gets the struggle of having to wrap everything in your backpack in plastic bags and having to dodge ankle deep puddles on your way to class.

When you see a dog on campus and feel compelled to go up and pet it:

When you are at a party with your friend and trying to dance:

Trying to look good in front of your crush:

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.

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. 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.
