As someone who loves the show Orange Is The New Black, I watch it constantly. Having just entered college, I feel like these women would relate to a lot of the struggles college students face on an everyday basis. Here are 10 struggles of college as told by characters from this amazing show.

1. Test anxiety: Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren

"I'm gonna do so bad on this test!!"

*smacks self in forehead repeatedly*

2. When your roommate/hall-mates are mean to you: Piper Chapman

"We've been here for less than two weeks. I've been starved out, teased, stalked, threatened and called Taylor Swift!"

3. When there's a pop up quiz: Alex Vause

"Are you kidding me?"

4. Having someone steal your spot in class: Galina "Red" Reznikov

*plans how to steal it back*

"Nobody messes with Reznikov!"

5. Getting a crappy professor: Joe Caputo

"I'm always getting screwed, aren't I?"

6. Getting ready in the morning: Sophia Burset

*looks in the mirror*

"Fierce!"

7. Bad grade on an exam: Norma Romano

When a friend of yours who usually makes really good grades asks what you make on a test...

"Hey, what did you make on the exam?

"..........."

8. Nasty cafeteria food: Cindy "Black Cindy" Hayes

When the cafeteria food is particularly disgusting one day...

"This is nasty! Where's the kosher meal that has real vegetables?"

9. Needing to poop in a community style bathroom: Dayanara "Daya" Diaz

When you're still not used to using the bathroom with someone else in the stall right next to you.

"Can you just leave!? I haven't pooped in 5 days!"

10. Getting caught staring at someone when you're spacing out in class: Lolly Whitehill

"Were you looking at me?"

"Oh, you!? No, I, uh, was looking at the periodic table behind you..."

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
