10 Struggles of College Life
Pintrest

Everyone has those days when literally nothing goes right. Those days when you're sitting there thinking, what else can I get punched in the face with today huh?

Well I don't know about you guys, but I personally have moments when I feel like that pretty much everyday. It's not because I deserve it or because anyone deserves it, but because were going through this thing called college, and it can be kinda a struggle. Here's just a few of them.

1. Snoozing your alarm approximately 17 times before waking up 10 minutes after your class started.

Well hey, in my dream I was 100% certain that I didn't need to wake up so thats what happened.

2. When you think about how nice you used to dress in high school as you put on the same t-shirt you wore yesterday.

No one will ever know but your roommates.

3. When you see your reflection in a window and you wonder if you always look so miserable and mean.

I saw myself in a bus window and it looked like I wanted to murder someone. Yes, thats just my face, but no, I don't like you either.

4. Just trying to get to class on time and wiping out instead.

Everyone takes a tumble sometimes. If someone says they haven't, it's just because no one saw.

5. Wanting to dart your pencil across the table when someone sits across from you at your library table and won't stop making noises.

Are my dirty looks not giving this dude a hint?

6. Doing everything in the world except for the stuff you need to do.

I'm just going to organize my underwear drawer, wash the dishes, go for a 5 mile run, call my grandma, lay on the floor for 10 minutes, and then study.

7. Facetiming your family and starting to tear up when you see your dog.

Never been so jealous of my little sister than seeing her with my dog.

8. When you try to cook yourself dinner and realize you have no clue what you're doing.

"Mom, how does one cook a piece a chicken?"

9. Accidentally watching an entire season of a Netflix show while eating a box of mac and cheese.

I don't know why I am saying this is a struggle, its actually great and I highly suggest it.

10. Having a meltdown and being very overly dramatic.

Just let it out, you'll pull it together tomorrow or something.

So there ya have it.. adulting and being in college can really be quite the struggle. But its not the end of the world when you have a mental breakdown and eat a whole box of pizza. We all love college and were all going to make it out alive. So I guess we will figure it out one of these days.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
