25 Times 'Friends' Summed Up The College Life
newstatesman.com

Now that I'm in college, I can't help but think about all the times that the '90s sitcom "Friends" summed up basically every thought that had been running through my head. For those unfortunate people who have yet to watch "Friends" (which is now on Netflix and on TBS and Nick At Nite every day), you should know that is about a group of six individuals living in New York City trying to figure out how life works after college. Although we're stilling getting there, their struggles are all too real for the everyday college student.

1. Going to your first frat party.

2. Your roommate takes your food.

Especially when you were really looking forward to those leftovers.

3. Your the roommate who took the food.

What's mine is yours?

4. Walking in on your friends.

5. Someone talks on the second floor of the library.

6. Seeing your grades at the end of the semester.

7. The walk of shame stories you hear.

Sometimes, no excuse can justify it.

8. You hear the word, "free."

Free shirts? Free food? Free paper? Who cares! Always go.

9. You look over the paper you just handed in after an all-nighter.

10. Showing freshman 15 who's boss.

11. The dining hall just isn't happening.

And they deliver right to the door.

12. Rereading texts after a night out.

13. You try to make new friends.

14. You get the package notification email.

Nothing is like getting a package, especially one containing food!

15. Your professor cancels class.

16. One of your friends is leaving for the weekend.

It may be for only a few days, but even that's too many.

17. Rolling up to class on your new bike.

18. Justifying why you're watching Netflix all afternoon.

Because getting up and going to one class is extremely tiring.

19. Raining on a night out? That's not going to stop us.

20. You try not to be late to class.

At this point, people might as well stop walking all together.

21. Getting ready to go out with your squad.

22. The struggle for money becomes too real.

23. You try to do laundry for the first time.

The worst is when you put the red sock in with your white load. Goodbye white, hello pink.

24. Those guys who try and rock the facial hair to look "cool."

25. Making Friends who will be by your side forever.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
