First week of spring semester semester; new classes, new atmosphere, and a slow start to warmer weather. Everyone is more than excited to be back and we often come back with new goals and ideas of how we want our semester to go. Here is a list of things every college student says during syllabus week.

1. "I'm going to the gym everyday"

2. "I'm gonna start eating healthy"

3. "I'm not skipping any classes this semester"

Let's be honest, if you have a Friday class there's a good chance you'll miss a couple after a late Thirsty Thursday.

4. "I'm not going to procrastinate"

Yes, you definitely are going to procrastinate that 4 page paper you have due don't even try and tell me you're not.

5. "I'm going to stop drinking so much"

Yeah, right. I'll believe it when I see it (which is never).

6. "I'm going to keep my room/house clean"

7. "I'm going to go to office hours if I have to"

8. "I don't need to take the bus I can walk"

Seriously, just swallow your pride and take the stupid bus.

9. "I'm going to buy all the textbooks"

Until you realize all 5 textbooks you need come out to be over $800 and you currently can't even afford a coffee.

10. "I'm going to save my money"

Except paying for Ubers and booze every weekend definitely add up.

11. "I'm going to get my life together"

12. "I can definitely take 6 classes"

Good luck finding time to eat, sleep or breathe. (Please realize you cannot take 6 classes before the Add/Drop period is over).

13. "I'm going to get at least six hours of sleep"

Until you stay out til 4am on Thursday and you have a 8am Friday class (which is a bad idea by the way, don't take those for this very reason).

14. "This is going to be the best semester ever"

You bet it is! Every semester is better than the last, so vow to make every semester the best one yet.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
