College life sure has its perks.

It’s that wonderful time in your life when you get to meet people from all over the world -- people you can eventually call your best friends. College is that time when you don't have to answer to your parents or worry about a curfew. It is that time in your life when you can eat breakfast for dinner or tacos at 1 a.m. and no one will judge you.

But every now and then reality strikes. You remember why you’re really there, and it all just comes down to a screeching halt. Waiting until Sunday night to do all your homework, cramming all night for an exam and then having mini-meltdowns during the week are all part of the college experience.

They say that college is the best time in a person’s life. While that may be true, the part they may fail to tell you is the emotional roller coaster students go through each week.

In case you didn't know what this emotional roller coaster consisted of, here are some thoughts that may or may not cross a college student's mind -- courtesy of "Parks and Recreation.”

When it's only Monday but school is already beginning to be a bit too much…

That exam you thought you killed…but actually didn't.

When you hear your friend complain about a B+ on an exam that you basically failed.


When you're stressed about everything and someone tells you to calm down.

Those 8 a.m. classes that make you contemplate your entire life.

When someone says they barely studied for an exam and you're over here like:

When class is about to end but that one kid raises his hand to ask an unnecessary question.

When you pull an all-nighter but it was actually a really bad idea…

When Friday finally comes around and everything is right in the world again.

But then that dreadful Sunday comes again and you go back to being your miserable self.

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.
