Why The Typical College Student Can Relate To Salem The Cat

We all remember the show "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," or at least most of us do. Sure, Sabrina was quirky and funny and, growing up, she was my favorite character on the show. Her aunts provided an endless supply of wit, and Sabrina's friends were always fun to watch as well. None of them compared to Salem the cat, though. As a kid, I didn't really relate to him that much, but now that I'm older, it's very clear that Salem is the epitome of the typical college student.

1. He understands the importance of getting your food as quickly as possible.

2. And he knows that sometimes it's hard to feel sorry for people.

3. Salem knows that food heals the soul...

4. Even when there's not necessarily anything wrong.

5. He understands the identity crisis you go through when searching for the right career...

6. And the identity crisis you go through when deciding what outfit to wear for any given occasion.

7. Salem understands how frustrating it is to be the one waiting on a response from a professor who takes their sweet time emailing you back.

8. And he can relate to the feeling you get when you're so tired of school and classes that you just don't want to deal with them anymore.

9. He knows that sometimes things get to be a bit too much to handle.

10. And he also knows the feeling of utter joy you get when your refund check comes in.

11. He knows that family members will sometimes question your choices.

12. And that they won't always understand the things you do.

13. Salem knows how you feel when roommates or hallmates are getting too loud.

14. And he knows that college kids like their sweets.

15. But at the end of the day, Salem knows that all we want is to be accepted.

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.
