13 Things That Scare College Students More Than Halloween

Studios producing horror movies are always trying to find something new, fresh, and scarier than anything else that their audience has ever seen to try and make some money. However, if they really want to make a successful horror movie,all they need to do is make a movie about the real horrors that some of their target audience members live with everyday: college.


1. 8 AMs

Seriously how did I get up this early every day for high school?

2. Cafeteria Food

You would think that at a school you pay several thousand dollars for per semester, they would have decent food. Well, you thought wrong.

3. The "Freshman 15"

It's real, no matter what they tell you.

4. The cost of textbooks.

Yes, textbooks are $150 each so buy them online for a "much cheaper" $80 each. What a steal.

5. Student loans

Q: How am I ever going to pay this much money back?

6. College debts

A: You will never pay all of that money back. You will die in debt.

7. Dorm bathrooms

Sure, a bathroom you share with 20+ people will be gross and uncomfortable. But you cannot comprehend how miserable it will be until you live in a dorm.

8. Dorms in general.

Will the temperature ever feel normal? Probably not. What is that weird stain on the wall? Who knows. Is that a ghost down the hall? Quite possibly.

9. Responsibility.

You thought you were ready for college, but of course, as soon as you get there and have to be responsible, you realize how unprepared you are for living alone.

10. Becoming an adult.

'I am so ready to have my own place and go into the workforce!' -High school you

'I am going to stay in bed all day eating Lucky Charms and watching Spongebob. What a treat!' -College you

11. Thinking about possible career choices

'When I grow up, I am going to be a pediatrician and help children!' -You all of your life.

'You know, a job at Taco Bell doesn't sound too bad. I wouldn't be in debt and I could eat all of the tacos I want...' -College you

12. Having no money

In high school, you had a job, but if you needed a little extra money your parents could give you a $20. In college, finding $5 means that you can comfortably eat Ramen for a week, and that is a cause for celebration.

13. Having no clue about what is in store for your future.

What am I doing with my life? I have no clue. What do I want out of life? I'm not really sure. What is happening tomorrow in Intro to Psych? Who knows.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.
