Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl

It's only depressing until you don't have to pay rent.

Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl
Princesa da Preguica

Ah, summer. The only people who enjoy summer more than high school students are college students. Finally we get to pack up our dorms and say goodbye to exams, finals, and ridiculous term papers for three glorious months of nothing (unless you take summer classes, and if so, bless your soul). So here's your summer vacation, as summed up by the show New Girl.

When you see high schoolers driving around town


But then you realize they are judging you for moving back in with your parents


Then you get home and have to explain your car's contents to your parents


You start out trying to pretend you don't drink


But then you try to innocently order your first drink in front of your parents


And you feel so guilty for pretending you haven't drank before


But by the end of summer you really stop caring what they think


So you spend your summer doing nothing


But then you realize you need a job


When really you don't want to work at all


You realize all your friends are studying abroad or doing really cool internships


And you start losing touch with the world


Your parents try to relate to make you feel better about living at home


But you secretly love not having roommates


And you know you couldn't survive on your own


...And you really enjoy the free groceries


So you accept your fate


Before you know it, it's time to go back to school


And then your friends ask what you did with your summer

Yup, sounds about right, Winston.

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.
