18 Feelings Every College Student Has At Some Point

The struggle of the typical college student may seem trivial to most people who have entered the so-called "real world," but our lives are pretty rough. No matter which college we attend, we all share an inner fire for our majors, our organizations, and midnight ramen. We've all had the breakdowns in the library during finals, the questioning of whether going out is even worth putting on real clothes, and the Chipotle cravings that never seem to leave, no matter how many burritos you convince yourself it's ok to have.

Here are some feelings we've all felt at one point or another. For better or worse, they're what make us the college kids that we are, and we couldn't be happier about that.

1. When it's chicken finger day in the dining hall...

2. But then you see the line and you're like...

3. When you're starved, but your friends already ate...

4. That one freezing classroom that 's like...

6. Trying to look presentable for an 8 a.m...

7. Walking out of a two and a half-hour lecture like...

14. Finals having you like...

15. When there's an Open House and the caf food is on point...

16. Stepping off campus...

17. Explaining your relationship like...

18. Trying to graduate like...

"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.

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.
