Happy Spring Break!! It's finally the time to sleep in and not worry about your priorities as a college student. Not that we have it that bad, but trust me, we all needed this break.

As I sat through my classes throughout the week leading up to Spring Break, I couldn't help but question how I've made it this far without having a mental breakdown. That being said, these Spring Break-induced breakdowns are all too familiar, especially if you're someone like me. No matter how hard I try, I cannot enjoy Math. Even when I think I know what's going on, there's a good chance there's something still missing.

While deciding what would be a good topic to touch upon in this week's article, I sat in my statistics class simultaneously questioning why I ever thought taking a math class in college was a smart decision.

In honor of our much-needed break and mutual hatred towards the world of Mathematics, here are 10 scenarios every Non-Math major has experienced while sitting in class:

1. When your teacher reveals the answer, and it's not even close to what you came up with.

2. When you do a problem, and you think it was finally right on the first try.

3. When your professor asks, "So does that make sense?"

4. Repeatedly telling yourself not to ask, 'Why?" and just do as you're told.

5. When everyone goes over the answer they got for a problem, and your answer wasn't even close to what they're talking about.

6. Plugging 2+2 into your calculator during an exam just in case the Math world decided to switch things up on you.

7. Meeting someone who has Math anxiety just like you.

8. Finding a rare human who not only enjoys math, but is good at it, too.

9. Repeatedly reminding yourself why you chose a major other than Math.

10. When you finally get the right answer, or you understand what is going on in class.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
