Surviving College As Told By "Survivor"

College is just like surviving on a deserted island for 40 days, right?

Surviving College As Told By "Survivor"

In its 30th season, "Survivor" has been a wildly popular show for more than 15 years. The contestants must live on a deserted island for 39 days, competing in physically and mentally exhausting challenges, living off of rice and beans and fighting through endless amounts of drama for the chance to win $1 million. While surviving college may not be quite to this extreme, there are definitely moments from the show that are completely relatable to the struggles of a college student. Here are 12 ways "Survivor" exemplifies what it's like to survive college!

1. When your professor decides to let class out early

You run as fast as you can out the door.

2. When it gets to that point in the semester when everything is piling up all at once and you can't handle it anymore


And none of your friends are of any help.

3. How it feels when you turn in an exam you studied really hard for but probably failed

You're still not quite sure if you cried tears of relief or tears of sadness.

4. How you feel when you know you did a really good job on a project

To be honest, you're super proud.

5. When you're in a group project and you're the only person who seems to be doing any work

And this is exactly why you absolutely despise group projects.

6. When the one guy who thinks he knows everything starts talking in class again

Rolls eyes forever.

7. How you feel after waving to someone you thought you knew on your way to class, but then you realize it definitely wasn't them

It's always super awkward.

8. When the squad is all roasting one person

You're just glad it isn't you who's being roasted this time.

9. When you think about a dumb, embarrassing mistake you made as a freshman

You're annoyed with your younger self but can now see the humor in it.

10. When you meet a really cute guy you could totally see yourself dating

But, you'll probably end up doing something that will send him running for the hills.

11. When you try to cook a recipe you found off of Pinterest and it's absolutely disgusting

You're still convinced it was the recipe that was bad and definitely not your terrible cooking skills.

12. When you're starting to get really hangry and all you can focus on is food.

Naturally, only Chipotle will satisfy your hunger.

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.
