24 Times The Little Things In College Caused A Mental Breakdown
Giphy

With it being mid-April and finals are a few short days away, tensions are high, patience is low, and we're all starting to collectively freak out.

I don't know about you, but when I'm stressed, it's the little things that go wrong that make it feel like the world is ending. In college, that apocalyptic feeling is intensified tenfold, but then, of course, you're so busy, you don't even have time to actually have a mental breakdown... *Commences breathing exercise in an attempt to calm down.*

1. When you can't find the one ponytail holder that's always somehow on your wrist


2. When you almost fall in the middle of the Drill Field

3. When you live in the South and someone doesn't hold the door open for you/doesn't say thank you when you do

4. When Einstein's runs out of your bagel of choice

5. When the Union's CFA runs out of EVERYTHING

6. When you have that test tomorrow and you don't even know what class it's in

7. When you have 2 dollars exactly in your bank account and your Cookout order total is $2.57

8. When you have class in 5 minutes and it takes 7 to get across campus

9. When someone asks "How are things going?"

10. When you see a service dog and can't pet it because "It's on the job"

11. When you're so low on sleep that coffee just isn't enough anymore

12. When yet ANOTHER boy asks you to do the thing, THE THING.

13. When you don't have enough sauce for your nuggets

14. When you don't have enough money for nuggets at all

15. When you're the short one and everyone is taller than you

16. When you just want to be at the beach but "College is more important"

17. When your professor changes the slide before you were done writing

18. When you don't get "the wave" when you let someone in during heavy traffic

19. When it's warm out but you can't wear sandals because it's a lab day and they want all of your extremities covered

20. When the tea isn't sweet enough

21. When you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear

22. When you get to the bottom of your junk food

23. When you almost got run over on campus AGAIN

24. When you live in MS and you have to get across campus but forgot to put deodorant

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
