The First Month Of Freshman Year, According To The Cast Of "Inside Out"

An explanation of the insanity of starting college from the emotions themselves

The first month of freshman year of college is exciting and definitely emotional. Through good days and bad, it can be difficult to figure out what you are feeling. So who better to communicate the emotional insanity of the first month of college than the emotions themselves from the Pixar movie "Inside Out"?

On move-in day, you're just so excited to be there.

You're pumped to meet all of your new roommates. You're convinced that you're all going to be the best of friends.

It's all so new and exciting, and everything is beautiful and wonderful. You can't imagine a place more perfect than where you are right now.

Until you see the dining hall food for the first time.

Or you go to your first class and realize that absolutely nothing about high school prepared you for college (Seriously, we have a paper due every week? And one test counts for over half of our grade?).

Then you'll realize just how much textbooks cost (and new online learning programs have prevented you from paying anything other than full price).

But you're determined to keep your spirits up.

And to go out every weekend no matter how tired you are, because this is college and we've only got four years to experience absolutely everything. So much to do, so little time.

However, going out on the weekends leaves you absolutely exhausted and your motivation to get out of bed on Monday mornings is practically non-existent.

Some days, you feel like you have absolutely nothing together while everyone around you is casually confident and relaxed.

Some days you just miss home, and you question why you even came to college in the first place. It's an adjustment. College is hard, living on your own is hard, being an adult is hard.

Some days just suck, but you go with it and hope that tomorrow is going to be better.

Because you know that most days are pretty great, and after four weeks on campus, you're really starting to get the hang of this college thing.

You know that this is where you're supposed to be, and nothing is going to get in your way as you take on the rest of the semester and the next four years.

Because you have a lot to look forward to, and in the end, you really do love it here.

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.
