Your first year of college can be a scary thing. A lot of doubts, a lot of debating on dropping out and becoming a stripper, and a lot, A LOT of 3 a.m. pizza while Netflixing. One of my favorites over the course of this year was "Friends," who coincidentally seem to have faced the same struggles us first-year college students have. Let's take a look.

Getting to college and wondering if you'll ever make friends so you're just like:

Realizing you have no idea how to do basic adulting like doing laundry so you end up like:

Going to all the club info-meetings just for the free food and declaring your love like:


Wondering how you'll ever make it through your 8 a.m. like:

Being amazed with what your advisers can do for you like:

Desperately trying to make the word count on your million-word essay so you'll literally do anything like:

After you take your first midterm and realize the professor doesn't curve the tests so you curse him for all of eternity like:

Seeing all the college guys for the first time and you're just like:

And when you finally talk to one and you're all excited like:

But then you realize he's got other girls so you're all like:

And then wondering why you always make the worst decisions (see above) so you feel sorry for yourself like:

And also like staying up until 3 a.m. when you have an early class, and then complaining about how tired you are all day, but doing it again that night anyway so you're just like:


Getting home for Thanksgiving break and asking yourself why your professors assigned homework and you try to make sense of it like:

Suffering through your biology class learning about oligosaccharides like:

Trying to understand your calculus and finally getting it much, much later than everyone but when you finally get it and you're all like:

When you get home for Christmas and all your family members want to talk about how school is going but you just brush it off like:

And then spring break rolls around and you have more homework so you question your entire life like:

When your family is asking why you look so much "rounder" in all your Facebook photos and you're just like:

When it's the last week of school and you have two exams, a project, a paper, and a speech and you just react like:

When you're done with all your finals and you kinda regret not studying but then you realize how much work that would've been and you're just like:

And enjoying all your time with your awesome, new friends that you love so much like:

And realizing you have three more years with them so you celebrate like:

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.
