Being an adult can be a bit stressful at times. OK, maybe super stressful. But do you ever think about how easy you had it years, and years ago? No matter how hard it was growing up and learning what life had to throw at us, we all relate to a global scale, and that is, childhood was the easiest time of our lives.

Today, I will enlighten you on 10 relatable examples on how childhood is way better than adulthood.

1. No one ever judges you, you're a kid for God's sake.

Getting caught picking your nose as a kid might ruin your day. But being caught picking your nose as an adult will ruin your life.


2. You never have to hunt your own food.

Having provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner could be compared to the luxury we all dream about: basically having personal butlers and a team of home chefs.


3. The world WANTS you to sleep.

The forced naps we all fought, cried over, and took for granted will always be the cornerstone of our daydreams at the office.


4. No one needs your help with anything. What can you do? You're a little kid.

According to adult, about all you can do is be dumb, moody, and weak. People thought we were good for nothing, but now we need to pull out all the excuses...or burn all the bridges.



5. The only reason you need money is for that hot new toy!

We didn't need as much to keep us happy. The crap-painted-and-made-in-Hell "toy" from the dollar store not only kept us busy and happy, it made our day, it...until it broke the following morning.


6. Say something stupid? Don't be ashamed; adults think it's funny.

No matter how sure you think you are as a kid, you're wrong. And the adults won't be mad or hold grudges for it––They will laugh at your face and make you famous on YouTube.
Kids say the darnedest things.


7. The only work in your life is homework, and c'mon, it's 2 + 2.

It wouldn't matter if you just weren't feeling it. You might get yelled at, but it's perfectly fine if you "just didn't want to do it today."

Unlike a real job.


8. No matter how badly you screw up, the worst you'll get is a spanking or time to relax in your room all day.

No police, no prison. Even if you murdered someone, they might just have you say "sorry" to the family. Just make sure you never do it again, okay?

*Rustles your hair* Okay, now go play.


9. Your little hands will never be trapped in a can of Pringles.

It was the one thing you could do that no adult could. You're totally above everyone!


10. Responsibilities in the life of a child are all of none.

Kick back, relax and grab the popcorn.

Watch your parents stress about all the responsibilities they have to go through to keep you alive!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
