Can I Get Away With Murdering My Roommate?

As second semester is back in full swing, I thought that I would share my top three questions that every college student will likely ask themselves at one point or another in their college career. Personally I ponder each of these questions on a daily basis, but have learned to cope after three years.

  1. Can I Get Away With Murdering My Roommate/Neighbors By Claiming Insanity?

After hours of blaring music, contact highs, and interrupted sleep or study sessions, it is only logical that one would resort to murder. No one can blame you right? Wrong. Apparently, the fact that your roommate/neighbors are driving you to the brink of insanity is not a justifiable reason to release your rage in a murderous rampage. Who knew?

2. Is It Really Worth Walking To The Cafeteria?

The effort to get dressed and climb out of bed is almost certainly not worth the mediocre cafeteria food that awaits you. So what do you do when you can’t be bothered to move? You order delivery or make do with the small sampling of snacks that you have in your room. If you don’t starve to death in the process, this system works really well for the chronic couch potato.

  1. Should I Study Or Sleep?

This is the age old question that college students perhaps ask most frequently, and rightly so. When your beauty sleep is constantly interrupted, it is understandable that you sleep when you can. How could you possibly be expected to study without, being properly rested first? A common theme among college students seems to be the sleep now, study later mentality. It is one that while attractive, I cannot recommend for academic success.

Have you ever had these thoughts?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
