25 Signs You're A College Student
The New Yorker

College students are truly a different species all in their own way. Here's just a few things we do:

1) You've mastered watching Netflix and listening to a lecture all at the same time.


2) Getting ready in the dark because you're running late? Check.


3) You've worn the same outfit at least four times in a row

4) You've given up caring how you look when going to class.

5) You pray every night December-February that it'll snow so classes get cancelled.


6) "Hit me, I dare you," you say as you cross the street and a car approaches.


7) Debating if it's really worth it to buy that textbook.


8) You've mastered the art of studying until 2 am the night before an exam and still get an A.


9) Waking up each morning and debating if you can skip class or not.

10) The stab you feel when the professor says the word limit for a aper.


11) Midterm season makes you want to clock out, finals season is even worse.

12) Second semester is the worst semester.


13) Christmas break is never long enough, even if it is a month long.


14) Holding your breath after walking up stairs so no one knows how out of shape you are.


15) You're greatest achievement is finishing all 9 seasons of a show in a single weekend.

16) Passing the gym every day saying tomorrow will be the day you start going.


17) Refreshing your email before a class just to make sure you didn't miss the 'class is cancelled' email.


18) Submitting a paper right as it's due.


19) For commuters: silence on the drive to campus, music blasting as you're leaving.


20) Avoiding 8 ams like the plague.

21) You use Rate My Professor as you walk into the class for the first time.


22) Free is your favorite word.


23) Naps are always on your list of things to do for that day.


24) You know that your study guide will never contain everything that will be on the exam.


25) You spend all your money on food and retail therapy.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
