College as Told by "Saved by the Bell"

Saved by the Bell is finally on Netflix so naturally, someone needed to point out how it's still so relevant for college students today. This show will always be a classic because the dynamic and themes are timeless. Yes, the characters are in high school but their unconditional friendship is something people of all ages want. Here are 11 examples of how Saved by the Bell can perfectly describe college.

1. "Ring by spring" is a real thing.

It doesn't get more southern than this. Even if this doesn't apply to you, you know more than one couple planning on putting a ring on that finger and insuring a future before graduation.

2. Sometimes the stress gets to ya.

Only three grades given in this class? I'm crying too, Jessie. Emotional breakdowns can also happen when your professors all plan tests the same week.

3. Living with best friends isn't as easy as it sounds.

Lots of girls think that living with their best friends will be easy because they get along so well but it's a lot harder than people think because of the transition from accepting their every flaw to actually living with the flaws. Luckily, if you're willing to compromise like these peeps and be open with what's annoying you, you'll be fine.

4. There is a surprising amount of choreographed dancing.

Pigskin, recruitment songs, SING, Stomp (repeat x4): it never ends.

5. Events/parties need balance.

There has to be a perfect amount of build up and fun to make it a a good night. Fancy formals and theme parties sound super fun but once you put in all the work to get dressed up, they can fall flat if there isn't enough entertainment or your expectations were too high.

6. Some pick-up lines can actually work.

Giving/receiving a pick-up line can either be really cute or really awkward. When you see a girl, go for it! The worst that can happen is she will say no but still feel flattered and respect your guts. That being said, please run a line by someone else first and save everyone the awkward silence of a terrible delivery.

7. There will always be that place where everyone hangs out.

Whether it's a coffee shop or a street full of bars, every college has a place that students go to to escape the stress of school and just be with friends. Memories here are ones we'll remember more than anything we learn in school.

8. Throwing shade is still an art.

The need to perfect your harshest face is still a huge requirement in school. How else can you keep away the randos and haters?

9. [Some of] Their clothes are still in style.
 

Okay, so his shorts are a swimsuit but they look an awful lot like Chubbies, am I right? And Kelly's high-waisted shorts with the crop top is definitely trending this year.

10. We're all just trying to survive until the next break.

I feel ya, Zack.

11. The real friendships will last forever.

Last but certainly not least, some people will come and go in life but there are some friends that will make it through the test of time and those are the best kinds of people.Thank you, Saved by the Bell. You've provided joy for so long and with Netflix, you hopefully will for so much longer.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
