Ah, spring. Everyone looks forward to it after the frigid winter. There's finally life outside, and yet there's more life than you would sometimes like. So, here's the best and worst events of spring.

The Worst

1. Bugs

Whether it's cute caterpillars before they become butterflies or that annoying buzzing sound in your ear, bugs are the worst part of spring. Forget about going anywhere with flowers; the bugs are there too, buzzing around and ruining your buzz of spring.

2. Pollen

Yellow dust that follows you everywhere. You want to wash your car? Might as well forget about it until June. There's not point when it's going to be tinted yellow the next day. Don't even get me started on allergies!

3. Tourists

Being from a tourist town, spring break can be the worst. There are new people everywhere. More cars, more traffic, more people, more anger and more road rage. Is it necessary to read the map every two seconds, or could you move to the side and actually make your way across the street?

4. Heat

We didn't like the cold in winter, but once it starts to get warm, it stays warm. And then it starts to get hot and uncomfortable. If you haven't made it home for spring break, then you don't have any clothes for it, and nobody likes to sweat that much.

5. Trips

Family vacations. Sometimes they're fun, and sometimes being stuck in the back of the car with your siblings makes you want to stab yourself in the eyes for entertainment.

The Best

1. Warm sunny days

Although sometimes the heat can become too much, nothing beats that perfect day with a nice breeze and clear skies. Perfect weather for the beach, a hammock or any outdoor activity.

2. Spring break

Nothing beats a week off of school in the middle of the semester. You've just made it past midterms and now you finally get some time to go home, get some home cooked food and see your friends.


3. Pretty campuses

Although pollen is a pest, walking through a blooming campus is one of the prettiest things there is in college. With flowers blooming on trees, bushes and in the ground, everywhere is color and happiness.


4. Adventures

There's finally the weather where if you see something on a road trip, you can take a minute to go on an adventure -- whether the adventure is around campus or going through a new field of wildflowers.

5. One step closer to summer

Nothing beats the fact that spring is one step closer to summer. You've made it through three quarters of a school year, and that last quarter is the only thing separating you from the vacations and tanning time!

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?

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
