7 Ways To Spot Freshman

1. They immediately write their newly given emails on everything and don't realize how much of a colossal mistake that is yet. Do not give your email to every one that ask at the Org fair. Its a trap.

2. They are caring paper print outs of their schedules with the room numbers on it, hard core squinting at buildings for markings to distinguish which one is which. (Is this the engineering building or science building??!) Honestly just ask an upperclassman. Make a friend!

3. They are legitimately Running to class...no just no. It honestly wasn't necessary senior year of high school and it Definitely isn't now. So just don't. Take the L and be a few minutes late. 90% of the time your Professor won't care.

4. They accidentally call their Professor "Mr/s". Fastest way to accidentally insult and annoy a professor. just stick to "Professor" or "Doctor" if you have to.

5. They are wearing all of their high school apparel. My favorite is the letter man jacket you pay so much for, probably wear the first week of school, and then bury in your closet until you go back to your high school for Homecoming.

6. When a sorority or fraternity member approaches them their first reaction is equivalent to avoiding someone sneezing in their direction because their only exposure to Greek life thus far has been Animal House and Neighbors. Thank you Zack Efron for that wonderful introduction....(sarcasm)

7. The phrase "Thirsty Thursday" might as well be a foreign holiday they have never heard of, and drinking during the week sounds just as bad as making out with the preachers daughter in their heads and they just seem appalled at the thought. Don't worry freshman, give it about a month or two and you will be surprised how fast your learning curve is.

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?
