20 GIFs That Accurately Depict  the Realities of College Life

The first semester in college is a time when you are experiencing new things and adapting to the new enviroment.

For those who are struggling or just want to know how we manage to survive in college, here is an explanation...

With GIFs!!



You will have essays, and if you're like me, you sometimes wait until the worst time to write them...

...and you always seem to run out of new things to write that relate to the topic you're writing about.


Your sleep habits won't get better in college.



You will need to find your own way of studying that works.


You will find yourself procrastinating more often.

\


Sometimes, you'll lose the motivation to do anything.


Things cost money and you may not have much of it.



You will have to pay for your food, and you may find yourself getting more involved in your community because of this.


Some of the things you learned in high school won't make sense now.


You will have struggles...




You sometimes will feel as if you are terrible at making friends. But that's okay, just do your best.


Don't worry about the Problems with College...


Just focus on the positives.


And look to your friends and family in times of need...



College may not be hard for you, but for some people, it is a hard transition. Understand those who are struggling and take the extra step to help them.

Be that person that steps up and changes their day. Show them that they are supported. You don't have to do something big, you just need to recognize and help those who need it.



Transitioning to College Life isn't Easy, but you're not alone. We're all in this together.


Just remember: Everything will be fine



Even if you did perfectly fine last semester, others may not be doing as well as you. Show them that you support them.

You may feel good when you're doing great, but you'll feel way better when you are able to help and see others do great, using the skills you have mastered.

Share this with someone who you know is struggling through college, and tell them that you will be there for them no matter what.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
