Why The Typical College Student Can Relate To Salem The Cat

We all remember the show "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," or at least most of us do. Sure, Sabrina was quirky and funny and, growing up, she was my favorite character on the show. Her aunts provided an endless supply of wit, and Sabrina's friends were always fun to watch as well. None of them compared to Salem the cat, though. As a kid, I didn't really relate to him that much, but now that I'm older, it's very clear that Salem is the epitome of the typical college student.

1. He understands the importance of getting your food as quickly as possible.

2. And he knows that sometimes it's hard to feel sorry for people.

3. Salem knows that food heals the soul...

4. Even when there's not necessarily anything wrong.

5. He understands the identity crisis you go through when searching for the right career...

6. And the identity crisis you go through when deciding what outfit to wear for any given occasion.

7. Salem understands how frustrating it is to be the one waiting on a response from a professor who takes their sweet time emailing you back.

8. And he can relate to the feeling you get when you're so tired of school and classes that you just don't want to deal with them anymore.

9. He knows that sometimes things get to be a bit too much to handle.

10. And he also knows the feeling of utter joy you get when your refund check comes in.

11. He knows that family members will sometimes question your choices.

12. And that they won't always understand the things you do.

13. Salem knows how you feel when roommates or hallmates are getting too loud.

14. And he knows that college kids like their sweets.

15. But at the end of the day, Salem knows that all we want is to be accepted.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
