10 Animals College Students Can Relate To

They just get us.

10 Animals College Students Can Relate To

Being a college student is all kinds of crazy. There are classes, homework assignments, organizations, work, bills, and a social life to keep up with. Life can feel way too hectic and sometimes the idea of becoming an animal for a while doesn't sound so bad. Here are ten animals that just seem to get us.

1. Horses

As a college student, there are days when it feels like you are constantly being trained and harnessed to perform for other people. Sometimes you just want to break free from your constraints and gallop away to do your own thing for a while, instead of the super-detailed project your business professor wants you to do.

2. Raccoons

Because what doesn't sound better than taking food from other people? Most college students are mooches (due to the whole no-money thing) and free stuff sounds really nice. We might just steal your food when you aren't looking.

3. Sloths

Like the legendary sloth, many college students wish they could just lounge around all day, going zero miles per hour, with no one relying on us or expecting us to show up to class. What a life that would be.

4. Quokkas

Known as the happiest animals on earth, quokkas are constantly smiling. College students learned the art of a fake smile long ago and use it to their advantage. That way, no one will ask them what's wrong when they're simply done with school (which happens a lot) or don't feel like sharing their problems with the world.

5. Chameleons

For some, the idea of blending into the crowd and keeping to themselves can be appealing. Whether you're too tired to talk, trying to focus on school, or just not in the mood for conversation, being as invisible as a chameleon would be nice sometimes.

6. Chimpanzees

A lot of college students use college as an excuse to "sow their wild oats." Partying, drinking, and doing things that you know you won't be able to do with a family and responsibilities can be tempting. Just be careful that you don't end up behind bars like the chimps at the zoo.

7. Bats

Two words: no sleep. Much like the nocturnal life of bats, college students tend to substitute sleep for either academics, work, or socializing. We rely on the assistance of coffee to power us through our days.

8. Puppies

Sometimes we just feel like we've been thrown into adulthood with no training. We constantly need attention and we can make a lot of mistakes before we get things right. But, if you keep us fed and happy, we'll be little bundles of joy (or at least try to).

9. Squirrels

I have a paper due at midnight? Wait, isn't the season finale of "The Walking Dead" tonight? Didn't I promise my friend I would study with her? Should I order some pizza? The life of a college student involves constantly having to decide between a ton of different options. It's easy to get overwhelmed and distracted.

10. Bunnies

It can feel like you never stop moving in college. There's always something to do, somewhere to be, things piling up that you need to finish. Bunnies are always darting about and we envy their seemingly endless energy.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
