Don't let the picture fool you. We are all dead on the inside.

College was deemed to be "The best four years of your life." Whoever said that did not realize that college students have too many responsibilities on their plates to act somewhat normal. Here are 10 crazy things I have noticed over the past year that all college students do.

1. Set an alarm for a 10 minute nap

Let's be honest. Between classes, clubs, seeing friends, and having personal time, we sometimes need to take a quick nap just to make sure we get through the day.

2. Wearing headphones when walking around campus

It's 9am in the morning, and someone approaches me. Does it seem like I really want to talk to someone this early? Nope! Wearing headphones around campus avoids small talk in the morning with someone you don't really like.

3. Partying with random people/at random people's houses

"Hey, I don't know you! Let's take a shot!"

4. Stealing anything that would look remotely cool in your room.

Especially on TCNJ's campus, people will steal ANYTHING from posters to the sign of the student center just because.

5. Drinking caffeine at ANY hour of the day

Whether it's 7am or 12am, it is ALWAYS socially acceptable to drink caffeine at any hour of the day. It helps to keep us going.

6. Going to campus events for free food/shirts

DID SOMEONE SAY FREE?!?!?!

7. Never knowing where your money went

I feel like every college student is broke. I honestly wonder where all of my money went sometimes. Food? Alcohol? Impulsive spending? The world may never know.

8. Wearing whatever you want to class

Whether it be sweatpants, a business suit, pajamas, or even a blanket, our stress levels are too high to care about what we are wearing to class.

9. Stealing food from the dining hall

Aside from stealing signs, college students LOVE to steal food. We are too poor/hungry and don't have time to make real food or wait in long lines.

10. Somehow managing to get through everything at the end of the day

Getting through a day of classes can be tough, but oddly enough, we can (and somehow do) make it through!!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
