Things College Girls In a Relationship Are Tired of Hearing

Being in a relationship during college definitely has its own unique benefits and struggles. WOne common trend though is a few *interesting* comments from other people. While a person may be coming from a good place, it could get old after a while.

1. "College isn't the right time for a relationship"

While being in a relationship during college may not be something you want, it says nothing about what I want. Just like being exclusive isn't for everyone, being involved in hookup culture isn't either. Also, sometimes the best relationship can start out of nowhere, so why judge someone for being a part of something that makes them happy? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and desires, but there's certainly a point where it just feels like plain judgment.

2. "Does your boyfriend let you go out?"

There are certainly a lot of things to unpack here. So first of all, a significant other should never be the final say in what their partner does, especially when they just want to have fun and enjoy themselves. I know that if I ever dated anyone that tried to control me, they would be gone in two seconds flat. Second, being in a relationship should never completely change how you live your life; single me loves going out with my friends, so why should I change myself just because I have a boyfriend?

3. "Are you going to hang out with your boyfriend?" whenever I have free time

While this seems like an innocent question, it can get a little annoying if everyone's first assumption is that I'm with my significant other when I have spare time. But no, that's not the case. I love my fair share of me time doing a face mask, watching movies, and napping. I make time for myself and the other amazing people in my life because they are just as important to me. Also, it makes me feel like I have to explain myself to everyone during the times when I do actually go to hang out with my boyfriend.

4. "You wouldn't know, you have a boyfriend"

Just because I'm in a relationship now doesn't mean I haven't experienced things with other people in the past. I could have some insight to offer about dating culture and people in general, and my relationship status doesn't dictate that.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
