10 Things That Give College Students Anxiety

1. When the Uber arrives but no one is ready.

2. Trying to find a parking spot on campus.

Class starts in 2 minutes, there is no where to park, and it takes a least 15 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the class... looks like I'm going home!

3. Thinking about doing the work for your online class but never actually doing it.

4. When you arrive at a party before 11 p.m.


It's only 10:30? It's too early to go anywhere we have to take six more shots.

5. When there is .43 cents in your bank account but you NEED a coffee.

Ballin on a budget or lack thereof. Plus, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is seasonal so you only have a limited time to get it! *overdraws bank account -$4.57*

6. Waking up in the morning after drinking and seeing that over 100 people watched you throw up in someone's garden on your Snapchat story.

Should I even delete it? Is the damage already done? My mom saw this!?

7. When you go to sleep at 2 a.m. because you were googling the origin of chicken nuggets but have class at 8 a.m.

This is based on a true story.

8. Textbooks, in general.

Do I actually buy it? Should I look for an online PDF version? IT COSTS 250 DOLLARS!?

9. Dating apps, mostly bumble.

Yeah I swiped right but do I actually message him? I only have 27 minutes left?! Why hasn't he extended his "connection"? If he really liked me he would've extended his time. Dick.

10. When you have a test on Thursday but yesterday was "Wine Wednesday" and you didn't study.

In conclusion, anxiety in college is inevitable, especially if you care about your GPA... and you drink a lot. By balancing your vodka to studying ratio, some of that anxiety can be alleviated. College is hard but it is also supposed to be fun. Don't let it get to you! Whether it be late night google sessions or poor choices during a night out, this is your time to live and learn.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right?
