10 Things 'How To Get Away With Murder' Teaches You About College
Variety Media

Shonda Rhimes's hit series "How To Get Away With Murder" has captured the hearts of the nation. Every Thursday night, we are all at the edge of our seats, hearts palpating, and consistently hyperventilating as we anticipate what surprise the show is going to throw at us this time. What has become more than a television series has taught us what it means to protect those you love the most, how to stand up for yourself, and especially to never accept defeat. Now, what has "How To Get Away With Murder" taught me about college...


1. The overly-excited student will somehow always find their way to sit next to you on the first day of class


2. After three all-nighters in a row, you start to get on edge


3. As much as you'd like to believe you're the only one suffering, you never are alone

4. After missing just one lecture, nothing seems to make sense anymore


5. You'll always tell yourself, "I'm going to study a little every day," but you can't seem to ignore the little voice in your head


6. When you get asked to answer a question in class, you realize you have no idea how to study


7. Then you realize the review that was given in class is nothing like the actual exam


8. There will always be that one person who will ask what grade you got on the test you know you bombed


9. In due time, you begin to pick up on where to start in order to start succeeding


10. Then you finally realize that college may not be so terrible after all

It's a scary world out there, but just remember what Annalise Keating once said: "Think carefully. Everything after this moment will not only determine your career, but life."

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.
