It's that time of year again. We're trading #BeachDays for #Books4Days on Insta and buckling down for another semester at Dear Old State. From LionPath to LionCash and everything in between, there are a few struggles in life that only true Penn Staters truly understand.

1. When you need to check Webmail/LionPath/Angel but don't have your cell phone.

So, I'm thankful that you're trying to protect my privacy, Penn State, but if someone wants access to the emails from my English professor and club officers that badly...give it to 'em.

2. That one time you wanted to drop or add a class during the designated drop/add period but Penn State shut down LionPath.

Or that other time you were forced to transition from the beautiful, underappreciated eLion to the shittiest, most '90's-esque site to ever be puked onto the Internet. No, I'm #NotBitter.

4. When you really, really want to exist on only Peachy Paterno and Irving's sandwiches, but your wallet says no.

But like...please?

5. Walking for 20 minutes only to realize you have no idea where on campus you are.

This is usually caused by breaking your routine and exiting a building from a different door without thinking about it. On the plus side, this also means you're consistently hitting that FitBit step goal by 10 AM. Three cheers for fitness.

6. Trying to eat/sit/walk/exist in the HUB during the lunch rush.

Or, doing any of these things + breathing at any time during the first week of classes.

7. Making yourself stay away from the Student Book Store, Family Clothesline, and other places that sell the PSU clothing you desire.

In these situations, it's best to avoid downtown altogether or give your wallet (including that all-powerful LionCash) to a friend.

8. Convincing yourself that you don't love it here, in spite of your many struggles. Hint:

Welcome back, Penn State. Now...all aboard the struggle bus. It's gonna be a long, wonderful, pain-in-the-neck year that you won't want to trade for the world.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
