6 College Struggles

College is like looking both ways before you cross the street and then getting hit by an airplane.

6 College Struggles

If you're a college student, you will relate to these struggles of our daily life; starting the day off by dragging yourself out of bed, and then being on the "struggle bus" the rest of the day, or week.

1. Always exhausted.

Whether you have an 8am, 9:30am, or 10am class, sometimes we just cannot get out of bed. We tend to sleep through our alarms, or we are too tired the night before to set an alarm.

2. Never having money.

We have the caf, The Lab, and Cat's Pause, but lemme tell ya, they get old. Suddenly, you're out of CP bucks and you can't use cash because you've spent it all on god knows what. Times like these make you miss your mom's home cooking.

3. Walking up hills.

Culver-Stockton College campus is not exactly an easy to place to walk. After all, it is called "The Hill." The hill coming from one of our dorm buildings is like Mount Everest, and you'll more times than not work up a sweat.

4. Staying in on the nights your friends are going out.

Sometimes, you just have too much to do, and it hurts to see everyone else having fun.

5. Trying to everything in a short period of time.

The has to be one of the worst struggles as a college student. We just physically cannot maintain a GPA, work a job, volunteer for sorority/fraternity events, eat healthy, have a social life, or even get the recommended amount of sleep.

6. Trying to write papers.

Sometimes the shortest papers are the hardest to write. We tend to push them off until the last minute.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
