Even geniuses are relatable.

22 Times 'The Big Bang Theory' Described Typical College Moments
Erik Homberger

Every once in a while, a show comes around that you can connect with more than any other. You want to be friends with the characters. You want to live their lives. You laugh with them. You feel emotional with them. No, I am not talking about "Game of Thrones." I think there may be a few issues if you watch that and say, "Yup, that's me."

For me, that show is "The Big Bang Theory." I may not be working towards becoming a physicist, an engineer, or a neurobiologist, but that does not mean I do not understand where Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, Howard, Amy, Bernadette, and Penny are coming from. Having just finished season nine, I have found that there are several moments in the show that one can relate to experience that most college students have probably had during their adventurous four years.

The excitement when animals come to campus

Seeing a guy try facial hair when he really should not have facial hair

"Let's go dancing!"

The dreaded lock-out

When most people in the class failed an open-note exam

Frustratingly sick when you have class and work to do

"Smile for your ID!"

"Are you ready for your exam today?"

When the professor writes, "Well done!" on your paper

When your are desperate to receive mail


When you never left your bed because you were watching movies all day


"You know you were supposed to email your paper and not print it, right?"

"There is no way you can finish that in time."

Meeting your professor for the first time

When group members don't pull their weight

Showing up to class in your Halloween costume

When someone complains that they have a million better things to do

What happens when you have your morning coffee

When you don't think you were productive enough

Coming back from summer vacation and the people you thought you knew changed their personalities and looks drastically

When you learn an interesting fact and say it all the time to sound intelligent

Waking up disoriented when a fire alarm goes off

Did any of these moments relate to you? Can you think of any more experiences "The Big Bang Theory" connects to? Let me know!

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.
