11 Times The 'Prince Of Egypt' Perfectly Described Freshman Year

The life of a freshman college student, as told by the "Prince of Egypt."

1. There's a lot to learn in college, and it's OK to feel overwhelmed!

The wonders of the universe and the vast knowledge of life -- you're not expected to know it all at once, so relax.

2. Sometimes, you'll have to study while your friends have fun.

It's a lonely place, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

3. Professors are great, even if they don't always end class on time.

"I WILL NEVER LET. YOUR. PEOPLE. GO."

4. At times, you might feel like a total failure, but upperclassmen will remind you that it gets better.

5. When you're not in class, you're either socializing, eating, studying, or relaxing. Choose wisely!

"If I don't meet you in two hours, I'm either napping or watching Netflix."

6. Your school schedules a ton of events to get you to socialize. Participate!

Dances, carnivals, outings, luncheons, concerts, festivals -- who knows? If you don't go, you'll miss out on a golden opportunity to meet people!

7. But be careful -- sometimes you do need to step back and spend some time alone.

"I'm going to go sit in my hammock for two hours, and you're not to bother me under any circumstances, got it?"

8. With all that socializing, you might be tempted to find a boyfriend or girlfriend ASAP.

But unless you're aiming for a "Ring by Spring," it's OK to take it slow! College is all about meeting new people, so don't be in too much of a hurry to find that special someone.

9. Preparedness isn't the only thing that you need to pass classes and ace tests.

It's all about having confidence. (Studying all day helps, too.)

10. There are times when you feel like nothing's going right; you have four tests and three essays to do; and everything's going up in flames.

11. But about eight months from now, you'll return home, a triumphant survivor of freshman year.

You did it. Congratulations.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
