College As Told By "Parks and Rec"

If you have ever seen "Parks and Rec," you have probably already thought about how similar you are to some of the characters. Here are a few times when "Parks and Rec" perfectly understood what it is like to be a college student.

1. When your professor doesn't care that you have exams and projects due in every class, and they assign another project.

2. Ramen noodles or sushi? Water or Starbucks?

3. When you have time to relax but you need to clean the house.

4. When you're falling behind in a class, but extra credit was just given out.

5. When that one kid in your class is bragging about his 100 percent.

6. When you give up on your future for a brief moment.

7. When you just decide to wing your group presentation.

8. When you accomplish everything for the week before it is due and you make it to all of your classes.

9. When you bomb that exam you thought you did amazing on.

10. Is this what it feels like to be well rested?

11. When you're assigned a group project with a less-than-motivated crew.

12. Excuse me, professor, how did you get 3? I got 245,590.

13. Ordering a book on Amazon that you needed two days ago.

14. When it's Monday morning and you have an 8 a.m., but you went out the night before.

15. When you are OCD and working in a group project.

16. House parties: Are they really necessary?

17. When you ask your professor to round your grade up.

18. When it's time to begin preparing for finals week.

19. Finals Week: Need I say more?

20. But at the end of the day, you can always sit back and enjoy a class of wine.

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.

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.
