College seems to be a place for us all to become grownups — for us all to leave behind those embarrassing elementary and middle school phases of silly bandz, pads sticking out of our back pocket, going goth for a week...all the good stuff.

And yet — YET — we seem to actually enter a new realm of embarrassing moments. That realm is called: Awkwardness.

The following ten moments are all experiences we inevitably share in our college career:

1. Giving everyone a lap-dance as you try to get to the middle seat of a full row.

2. Slipping hardcore on the street while alone so there is no friend to act as a buffer.

3. Constantly bumping into someone you've hooked up with and never talked to again

4. When you lie about where you're going one night and drunkenly post on your Snap story that you're having the time of your life. You now owe a certain someone an explanation. 

5. Thinking someone likes you because they're the first person who has been super nice to you and compliments you...and they had no idea they were leading you on.

6. A stranger waves to you on your way to class and you wave back to be nice only to realize they were waving at the person behind you.

7. There's a long line and when it's your turn to pay, suddenly you're fumbling around for your ID and you feel the hatred in people's eyes boring into your back.

8. You're walking back from some guy's/girl's dorm at 11 in the morning, sporting your full-on party-wear...and bump into literally everyone you know.

9. You check out your Snap story the morning after a lit night and CRINGE at what your drunk self decided was a good thing to post.

10. You are falling asleep in class to the point of having hypnotic jerks and entering REM sleep...and this was the day you decided to sit front row so your professor has a fantastic view of all of this.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
