Back To School, As Told By Informercials

"BUT WAIT, there's GIFs!"

Back To School, As Told By Informercials

It's August, which means that students across the country have started moving into their new homes for the year. However, students, beware the dangers of a new house/apartment!

1. Your home could have been damaged over the summer. Open the door with care on your first arrival.

2. You could be mauled by a tape measure while trying to put up those cute curtains.

3. The bathroom floor could be plotting with the shower curtain against you.

4. A tupperware army could be waiting to ambush you in the kitchen.

5. Don't even bother with cooking; you'll destroy everything you hold dear.

6. In fact, just go ahead and leave the kitchen. You can only make it worse at this point.

7. You and your roommates will be almost too awkward to function.

8. Attempting to do your laundry will only result in agony and grief.

9. You could break your wrist trying to clean your curtainless windows.

10. Be careful when flinging your sunglasses off outside; the sun may blind you.

11. Additionally, make sure to avoid the pool when throwing your laptop in frustration.

12. And forget about washing your car; the experience would kill you. Just stay inside.

13. Don't try any Pinterest DIY projects, even your trusty hammer will leave holes in the wall.

You may ask, "Why me? What did I do to deserve such a horrible fate?"

"Why can't I ever seem to eat my chips in peace?"

"And OH GOD, WHY IS THIS CABINET MAKING SUCH A HORRIBLE NOISE?"

My advice is to take a few deep breaths and dance in a snuggie. It seemed to work for these people.

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.
