10 Struggles College Students Face Every Day
Huffington Post

With the semester reaching the half way mark, it is hard to escape the feeling of exhaustion, and anger towards our professors who just don't understand that a 7 page essay is not what we need right now. Below I will map out the 10 feels you feel throughout a typical day when you're in the depths of a college semester.

1. WAKING UP TIRED:

There is nothing worse than waking up to feeling like you already need a nap. Wether you are running on no sleep, or the rare lucky student that gets the full 8 hours, you are most likely still very exhausted.

2. HOPING THAT CLASS WAS CANCELLED:


It probably wasn't but theres no harm in checking your email every ten minutes until class time, right?

3. REGRETTING SIGNING UP FOR AN 8:30 AM CLASS


What were you thinking?! You hardly feel comfortable waking up for a 10am class! Can we go back in time and change this?!

4. MAKING ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF TRIPS TO STARBUCKS


Then walking into class late, shamelessly, with the coffee that made you late.

5. SAYING "I'LL JUST DROP OUT" AT LEAST TWICE A DAY


It just isn't worth all of this stress! I officially don't care anymore.

6. WONDERING IF ANYONE CAUGHT YOU DOZING OFF IN CLASS


Answer, yes they did....and they're super jealous of the tiny amount of sleep you're getting right now.

7. WONDERING WHICH CLASSMATE WILL SHARE THEIR NOTES WITH YOU


You were too busy sleeping and missed the whole lecture. Which smart kid will actually be nice enough to lend you their notes?!

8. TELLING YOURSELF YOU'LL GET WORK DONE WHEN YOU GET HOME


Your second wave of energy can carry you through! You are unstoppable!

9. GETTING HOME AND MAKING YOUR TO DO LIST


YOU ARE DOING SO WELL! TIME TO GET TO IT!

10. LAYING IN BED AND TAKING A NAP INSTEAD


Wake up, and repeat.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
