Your College Friends As 'How I Met Your Mother' Characters

When you enter college, you're going to meet all kinds of people. Everyone has a different story and after coming together, they make the perfect gang. Marshall, Lily, Ted, Barney and Robin are five completely different people who create a harmonious group of friends.

Marshall Eriksen

This friend is very caring, and always looking out to have their best interest in mind. Even though they are fun and witty, they are very intelligent. They put their education at a high priority. With that in mind, they do not forget to let loose and have fun. They take offense easily, and take their emotions seriously. They don’t try to act like someone they're not to just fit into a crowd, and they forgive easily. They know where they are with their views on life, and don’t let others bulldoze their feelings. In the end, they are an all around confident person who has their emotions intact.

Lily Aldrin

After going through many stages of their life, they found amazing people to surround themselves with. They are true to themselves, and even when others doubt them, they know what is best for them. With a steady relationship always there for them, they are very confident with themselves. They are very impulsive and don’t worry about the consequences, but things are always alright. They are outgoing and make sure to have their opinions known. They take things to heart, and use art to express themselves. If you ever need anything, they will be there.

Barney Stinson

This person is a perfect example of an outgoing character. Their thoughts run wild and they are always up for a good time. They even plan out their evening to make sure everything is going their way. After a past of being someone who was completely different, they are proud of the person they are today and often tell people what they do and who they are. Even though they run on a high based on their own life, they find their way back to their emotions quickly. They live by a code to stick with their gender to make sure no one gets hurt.

Ted Mosby

He or she is always on the lookout for love. No matter what life throws at them they do not give up, ever. They’re always there for you, and even when you mess up, they'll be your best friend. They are a constant reminder that your future is what builds you up, and you should always remember where you came from. They break down everything to find the deeper meaning and relate it to their life. They are not very open to change, but with the help of their friends, will find their way.

Robin Scherbatsky

With the typical worker-bee attitude, they prioritize their career far above their personal life. With a rough family past, it becomes hard to trust others and let them in. Even when they do find someone, it’s possible they scare away that person. They have built a wall up around their heart that is difficult, but worth crashing down. They find their friends and make sure to always protect them. Even if they leave for a while, they will come back and make sure you are alright.

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.
