College: As Told By Chandler Bing

College. What a time to be alive.

No, seriously. What a freaking time to be alive. One minute, it's the time of your life. You're having a fiesta with your amigas. The next minute you're googling careers that don't require a degree.

It's something else, y'all. Who better to tell the tale of college than Chandler Bing?



Some days you never want to graduate. College has got to be the best decision you've ever made, right?


Then there's the other days, when you have no freaking clue what you're even going to college for.


But one day, you finally decide on a major... until you have a mid-college crisis and want to change majors again but know it's too late and your parents will kill you.



Then about the time you're a junior, you get over it, right? Decide that you're happy with your major and all that good stuff. Until you have that class. That one dang class. The one that makes you question your entire existence as a human being. We all have that class.

\


And every time you have a test (aka self-esteem slaughtering session) you have to have a pep talk with yourself before looking at your grade.



But you survive and you're really proud of that C on your transcript even though you would've cried like a hungry baby over a C in high school.



Then you're in your senior year. Senior year is supposed to be the easiest, right?



Now not only are you worried about school, but you're worried about life and your future. Things like dying alone.



You get over it and start accepting the fact that you've kind of let yourself go and the stress of the past four years has done some damage and it's going to take a special human to love you at this point.



So then you start worrying about things like graduating. Only to realize that no one really graduates in four years and you'll be joining the fifth year club.



So you survive, whatever. It's fine. What's another $50,000 in debt? Okay. So year five. Now you're trying to get your life together. Trying to find a potential future husband.



You're always dealing with the "when are you actually going to graduate?" people.



And every single day is filled with stress, assignments, stress, degree audits, stress, procrastination, stress, a little bit of fun, and some more stress.




Then one day you actually graduate. I guess. Stay tuned.

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.
