Your first year of college comes with a lot of emotions and new experiences. From the mysterious food in the dining halls to bonding with friends, the freshman year is one of the toughest years of college. The American classic that is "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby" can perfectly describe the ups and downs of maneuvering that first year.

1. When you and your roommate can finally get weird with each other


You're going to be spending some SERIOUS time together over the next 10 months. Time to get comfortable.

2. Realizing time is key when it comes to getting a good seat in class


If you don't believe me, try showing up to your 100 person geology lecture with three minutes to spare.

3. Bragging to your classmates when you pass the test everyone else failed


You're not sure how you did that either, but you're rolling with it.

4. That first drunken make out that none of your friends will ever let you live down


It was embarrassing and a little hazy. Never fear, your pals definitely snapped the whole thing.

5. The moment when you've had one too many cups of coffee during your all-nighter

Your body is tingling and you're sleep deprived, but damn it if you didn't finish that paper.

6. That one freshman who thinks he's The Hulk after two drinks

This should be fun to watch, stick around and enjoy the show.

7. And finally, doing whatever it takes to meet the word count on your final

You've had 25 words left for three hours. JUST END IT ALREADY.

"Talladega Nights" is one the most iconic movies of our time, and completely applicable in any situation.

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.
