11 Ways You Changed Since Becoming A College Student
The Scene

Looking back on my high school career, I realize just how much things have changed since going to college. Everyone is in the weird adult purgatory of trying to adult and eating SpaghettiOs while watching Disney movies. Here are 11 ways your high school self and college self are completely different:


1. Deadlines


Every due date will be questioned. Your procrastination skills will be put to the test, and midnight will be the most productive time of the day.


2. The Syllabus


This was pointless in high school, but in college this is the total opposite. It explains everything, from the way your professor grades to avoiding looking like an idiot by asking a question that is on the syllabus.


3. Money

Your bank account will be at an all-time low. If your account isn't in the negative, you aren't a true college student.


4. Naps

It will seem like you can't possible get enough sleep, and a nap is the only way you can function throughout the day.


5. Netflix

My love for Netflix has grown since college, and binge watching shows is the only way to watch anything now.


6. Relationships

Once again, Netflix and your on-and-off relationship with Dr. Mcdreamy.


7. Clothes

Who actually dresses up for class? Let the world know that your wardrobe reflects your life.


8. Food

The .75 cents of ramen may seem like filet mignon some days, but you can't wait until this won't be your main food source.


9. Textbooks

You spend hundreds of dollars for textbooks, and most of them remain in the trunk of your car; at least mine are.


10. Emotions

The amount of emotional breakdowns that can happen are constantly on the rise. and your life choices are questioned. You then start to think about all the other *cough* occupations that would be less stressful.


11. Expectations

Your expectations for grades slowly turn into the mantra "C's make degrees."

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
