Ah, college! An exciting time for everybody filled with tests, parties, studying, and new friends. And while nobody really forgets their college lives, there are some parts that we wish we could forget. The cast of "This Is Us" can certainly explain some thoughts that every college student has at one point during their semesters.

1. When you go from a stress-free week to having a test in every class

As college students, we can never expect what our workload will be for a given week. We can only hope that not every professor decides to schedule their midterm in the same week. However, we also know that this never happens.

2. Those late night talks when you can't see the light...

Thanks to everyone who stuck with me through the meltdowns and late night studying, and assured me that everything would be OK.

3. When you're trying to plan your life but there are four events happening at the exact same time

I promise I'm trying my best, I just really can't be in eight different places at once.

4. When you agree to go out but when the night comes you regret that decision

On second thought, I think I might just fall asleep right now...

5. When someone asks how college is going

Unless you consider back to back classes, work, and catching up at the dining halls a thrilling lifestyle.

6. When you just need a break and find your best friend

Sometimes a hug is exactly what we need when everything starts getting crazy.

7. When you make it out of bed before noon on a weekend

Trust me when I say that this is a difficult task, especially as the semester drags on.

8. When you get that call saying money has been transferred into your account

Nothing can make a college student happier!

9. When you realize another semester has passed and you're that much closer to having to leave

Honestly, how can 16 weeks fly by so fast?

10. When you realize you won't see your friends all summer

We all love summer, but it isn't easy having to leave some of your closest friends for 4 months!

Though Rebecca, Jack, and the Big Three may be reacting to their own life events, it's clear that their reactions can be pretty similar to the reactions of college students.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
