No one can relate better to the struggles of Chandler Bing better than Odyssey writers.

1. You sit down and log into MUSE all confident, soon to realize that you have no idea what to write about.

And, even if you do know what to write about, you never know where to start.

2. You then spend more time coming up with an idea for an article than you do actually writing it.

"Has 'College Struggles Told by Friends' been done before?"

3. After what seems like forever trying to come up with an original idea, you finally have a revelation and come up with one.

4. You begin to write your heart out and type like there's no tomorrow.

5. You finally finish and hope it's good enough for Odyssey to share it on social media.

6. You click "Next" and realize that you still have to write the subheadline, header, metadata title and description, etc...

7. Finding a header picture also takes you forever, and then the perfect URL is taken.

See also: finding a picture but it's too small, not being able to find a source for a listicle picture, etc. etc. etc.

8. You get everything done and finally click "submit" and are just relieved you got it in before your deadline.

9. Your article gets published and Facebook decides to not put your share on anybody's newsfeed.

10. You then check social media constantly to see if Odyssey posted your article, but they never do.

11. You then get a message from your Editor in Chief asking for what you're gonna write about for next week and you don't know how you're gonna come up with another idea.

12. Soon after, you sit down, log into MUSE, and start the whole process over again.

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.
