15 Things That Are Way Too Relatable For College Kids

We all know it's true.

15 Things That Are Way Too Relatable For College Kids
The Huffington Post

These 15 things are just way too relatable for every college kid. From re-wearing dirty laundry to accepting that we have to take the L sometimes. But hey, at least we're all in this together.

1. Sleep is a luxury.

I truly believe that college today is way harder than it was "back in the day". Between work, classes, homework, clubs, internships, etc., there really is just no time for sleep.

2. You're either starving or stress overeating. There is no in between.

Let's face it. You can only cook about 5 things. This means you either go without food or stuff yourself while studying.

3. Sometimes you just have to wear dirty clothes.

Mom isn't here to do your laundry, so you like to push the limit on just how many times you can re-wear something.

4. Wanting to bang your head against a wall 75% of the time.

Contrary to popular belief, college life is really hard.

5. Your friends are getting married and you feel like you will be #foreveralone.

6. But some of your friends spend half their mornings with their heads in the toilet.

This makes you feel a little better because perhaps you have your life together a little bit more than you thought.

7. You have 38 hours of homework due by midnight, but there are only 24 hours in a day.

8. Sleeping anywhere on campus is perfectly acceptable.

We take what we can get.

9. Crying anywhere on campus is also perfectly acceptable.

10. Mental breakdowns have become part of your daily routine.

11. You have accepted the fact that you just have to take the L.

We try our best, but are not always prepared. We also enjoy having somewhat of a social life. That means we just have to take that L sometimes.

12. Although you have literally no time for anything but school, somehow you still find a way to binge watch Netflix.

13. Every single holiday (no matter how insignificant) is celebrated.

We have to have something to look forward to (and any excuse to go out gets us super hype).

14. If nothing else, college has taught you how to get ready in under 5 minutes.

15. It has also, above all else, taught you how to bull****.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
