During the fall semester of my freshman year of college, I started binge-watching "The Office" on Netflix. It took me until around finals week to complete the whole series, where I spent days crying over the finale.

After my tears have been shed, I realized how the majority of the characters from "The Office" are #relatable to people that I know or even me. For example, I can easily state that I have Phyllis's sass and Pam's charm and persistence, while my friend Analisa has Stanley's sass and Kevin's clumsiness.

But the one character that I believe that everyone can relate to (especially my friends Alexa and Raj) is the Assistant to the Regional Manager (yes, that is his job title and you shouldn't question it), Dwight K. Schrute. Between his over-the-top personality (whether he is freaking out or just being himself) and his brutally honest and knowledgeable opinions, we all have those moments where we are just either absolutely done with life or way too excited for life to even be happening.

So here is how moving day for returning college students is as told by Dwight K. Schrute:

1. When you are carrying in way too much stuff:

2. When you are reuniting with your friends who you have not seen for months:

3. When you first enter your dorm and it's not as nice as you thought:

4. When you first enter your dorm and it's better than you thought:

5. When your parents are saying goodbye to you:

6. When you are saying goodbye to your parents:

7. When your parents think that you put up way too many decorations:

8. When there are too many people in your way as you are carrying in a bunch of stuff:

9. When you already don't like your new roommate:

10. When you already love your new roommate:

11. When you have to start unpacking and organizing your things:

12. When you finally finish unpacking/organizing your things:

13. When you realize that you start classes soon:

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.
