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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
