As college students, we all understand the struggle bus that is our everyday lives. From having nonsense schedules to break downs every other week, we've all been there. Day in and day out we question why on earth we decided to go to school in the first place. And each day, the same old silly, hopeless, confused, stressed, happy, angry, struggling thoughts pop into our heads and we're still waiting on figuring out the answers to some of these one day. But hey, maybe those answers will come along with a degree down the road.

25. What on earth was I supposed to do today?

26. Why did I even bother to get out of bed?

27. Why did I bother to go to this class?

28. Should I just skip this class today?

29. I won't miss too much, right?

30. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I might as well just sleep all day instead of class, right?

31. Each class is worth HOW MUCH money?!

32. In class: What? (24/7)

33. What's the minimum grade I can get on this final to get an A?

53. Can I afford to put an extra shot of espresso in my coffee this morning?

54. There's no way I can make it through this class without coffee?

55. Looking in my fridge: Is this still okay to eat?

56. Can I waste the next couple of hours taking Buzzfeed videos? I really need to figure out What Kind of Cheese I am?

57. I may have fallen asleep, but yes, Netflix, I'm still watching.

58. Does attendance count in that class?

59. Walking to class, crossing the street as a car comes down the road: Go ahead and hit me. I have an exam in half an hour and I haven't started studying.

60. Walking to class, crossing the street as a university car comes down the road: Go ahead and hit me. I'll get free tuition.

61. I miss my parents, dog, bed, home, cats, etc.

We know for sure, some day down the road we'll be saying that our college years were "the glory days" and we'll miss it constantly. And regardless of these random nonsensical thoughts that pop into our minds every single day, we're happy and thankful to be given the opportunity to be able to go to college and make a difference one day, even if day in and day out we question our existence and purpose overall.

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!

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.
