When you're a college student, you probably expect yourself to say a lot of intelligent sounding gibberish that barely makes any sense to you. But there's also a few simple phrases that become quite common to your vocabulary.

1. "I'm broke!"

During college, there's plenty of reasons you'll have no money. Too often, you opted for those cheese fries from that sketchy fast food place instead of using your meal plan. You spend way to much money on your college's t-shirts, making your school spirit significantly outweigh your wallet. And you always seem to forget the hundreds of dollars you have to spend on overpriced textbooks each upcoming semester.

2. "I'm hungry!"

College puts a lot on your plate, both metaphorically and (thankfully) literally. There's plenty of food you can eat on campus, and you do eat it. But for some reason you're still always hungry. College students never stop eating. You, along with many other students flock to those boring meetings no one actually cares about because someone said there would be free pizza. Free food is the way to a college students heart.

3. "I'm busy!"

It's hard to find time for anything in college. With all those boring readings you have to do every night and all those projects you have to work on so you can pass a class will consume your life. You exaggerate, though. Sometimes, you'll spend more time complaining about how busy you are than actually working on finishing those things that made you busy in the first place.

4. "I'm lazy!"

There's times where you find yourself sleeping a little too long, making you lose hours to start that essay that's due at 2 PM. That one episode of that Netflix show you watch to help you "unwind" from a busy school day somehow turns into ten episodes and you really better hurry. But then it's the middle of the night and you told yourself you'd be done hours ago. Yet here you are, halfway asleep and not even close to halfway done with your homework.

5. "I'm tired!"

You love sleep. You take naps between classes, naps after classes, naps during classes. Seriously, it's frightening how much you want to sleep when the sun is still up. But it's not surprising considering all the time you spent watching Netflix last night. You keep telling yourself you'll go to sleep earlier but you never do. The loud neighbors you have in the dorm next to you don't help, either.

6. "I'm dying!"

College will kick your butt. You'll feel like you're dying a lot. When you have to pull those late-nighters, when you have to give that fifteen-minute presentation, when you fail a class. It happens.


Yeah, college has it's ups and downs. But that's all part of the roller coaster it is to getting your degree. It's all part of the amazing journey college will take you through. College is just as fun as it is challenging.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
