Because it happens to the best of us...

12 Relatable Struggles We All Have In College
Emerson Preparatory School

College is some of the best years of our lives but it also really forces us to grow up and we will have to make sacrifices...like good home-cooked meals or your mom doing your laundry for you. Good thing we are all going through it together.

1. When you don't check your emails and get up and get ready for class just to see the sign on the door saying it was cancelled. And at that point it's your own fault but it's so annoying.


2. Wanting to get in shape and go to the gym but really not feeling it at all. Procrastination is what we're best at.


3. When all of your friends want to go out to eat and you have to be like...


4. Experiencing a professor from hell. We've all been there before.


5. Always questioning why you're so tired and then remembering you haven't been sleeping. And for like no reason at all.


6. Wearing the same clothes for two weeks just because laundry takes time, money and effort. And we can't afford to waste all three of those things.


7. Losing documents or your computer crashing or things just aren't working out. The worst.


8. Missing your family back at home while you're away. Because they are sometimes annoying but we love them to death.


9. Missing your pets while you're away. Because of course...they are our everything.


10. Not having any money for anything. Ever...the term 'broke college student' has never been more relatable!


11. Not being sure whether to cry or scream or all of the above. Because it happens to the best of us.


12. Not having mom around. Because whether it be that we're sick or just need her for anything, not having her around just sucks.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
