With the stress of finals week ahead of us, I think it is time we looked at other options.

Finals week is upon us. While it seemed so far away before Thanksgiving, it is now closing in on us all. I am afraid for what is to come and if you aren't, congratulations, but maybe you should be. If you are afraid for your GPA at the end of the semester and always considering dropping out, here are thirty other jobs that we should start looking into outside of college.

1. Airplane window tester

2. Stripper

3. Hobo under a bridge

4. Cookie tester

5. Ice cream tester

6. Elephant poo shoveler

7. Basket weaver

8. Cat behavior consultant (put your cat lady talents to use people!)

9. Moonshiner (technically illegal if caught)

10. Statue cleaner

11. Coffin maker

12. Antenna installer

13. Professional griever (turn your emotions into cash.)

14. Mascot

15. Florist

16. Pet food tester

17. Smell tester (just sniff armpits all day, easy enough.)

18. Balloon animal maker

19. Condom tester

20. Bee keeper

21. Snake milker (seems much more difficult than milking a cow though.)

22. Human cannonball

23. Lumberjack

24. Chicken sexer (the struggle of knowing if its a hen or rooster is real you guys.)

25. Golf ball diver

27. Stand in bridesmaid

28. Potato chip inspector (so people never end up with odd shaped potato chips I assume.)

29. Rubber chicken maker

30. Bingo caller

If anything, I hope these jobs inspired you to study and stay in school. If any of these jobs seem better than the stress and anxiety you are having to deal with currently, then go for it. Follow your dreams to be whatever you want to be.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
