Surviving College As Told By 'Broad City'

Abbi and Ilana know what it's like to be college students.

Surviving College As Told By 'Broad City'

College means finding the balance between work and fun. If there's anyone who's entirely incapable of finding that balance, it's Abbi and Ilana from Comedy Central's "Broad City." They're all about the fun and Ilana's definitely not about the work. Sometimes, though, they attempt being functional humans and understand what it's like to be a college student.

When you try to relate what you learned in class to everyday situations, but can't seem to get it quite right.

When your friends are having an easy week schoolwork-wise and go out without you.

When you've had what feels like the longest day of your life.

When you decide to go to a party, but find out it's a theme you've never done before and have to consult your friends on what you could possibly wear.

When you're at that party and need even more advice on what to post to prove you're having a good time.

And then the next morning, you feel like you're temporarily dying due to the fun time you did have.

But you have to get some work done, so you start reconsidering all of your life choices.

Or you have a super existential moment and seriously reconsider your life choices.

But then just say forget it and just go out again.

And the next morning just start the cycle again.

But then somehow do well on the tests you have Monday morning.

And you feel like you're on top of the world.

Only to realize you have a million more assignments due this week and have not one ounce of motivation.

But your friends want to see you succeed, so they try to get you to study.

And once you actually get it done, seeing the daylight after a lifetime in the library is like coming up for air.

Then, finally, it's Friday again, and your "YOLO" attitude is back.

And that is the definition of college! Somehow living through the week and living for the weekends, hopefully ending up successful once you graduate.

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.
