16 Struggles Of A College Student As Told By 'Friends'

If you're in college now, there's a 99 percent chance that you've seen "Friends." Also, there's a 99 percent chance that you've experienced some of these struggles in your college life already, and you'll probably end up experiencing all of them within the first year and most likely, for the rest of your time in college. So, if you're a "Friends" fanatic, experience one, or many of these irritating scenarios, please enjoy.

1. When that person in front of you in line at the cafe takes the last chocolate chip cookie.


2. When your lecture is taught by a foreign professor and everything that comes out of their mouth sounds like:


3. When you're half asleep during your 8 a.m., but you still have to participate in discussion.


4. Your parents' reaction when they see your midterm grades.


5. When you accidentally walk in on your roommate and their "friend." As Janice once said (a couple of times) "OH. MY. GOD."


6. When your professor uploads all of their slides online.


7. When you and your friends are trying to decide which one of you is going to run downstairs to pick up the pizza from the delivery guy.


8. Every time your roommate texts you asking, "Hey, can I eat one of your snacks?"


9. When you have to write a love poem and perform it in front of your poetry class.


10. When you convince your professor to extend the deadline of that five-page paper.


11. When you go out with your friends and of course, someone gets sick, so naturally, you're asked to help take care of them.


12. When you finally get home for Thanksgiving break.


13. And when you're trying to survive the family Thanksgiving dinner.


14. When it's one o'clock in the morning, and the people in the room next to you are blasting music.


15. When you and your friends decide you're going to drop out of college and marry a rich man who will take care of you for the rest of your life.


16. When you check your bank account statement and realize that you probably shouldn't have gone to Chipotle the past three, all right, four days straight.

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.
