Let's face it, we all have these thoughts at some point

8 Thoughts College Kids Have During The Year As Told By "The Office"
huffpost.com

College is supposed to be the best time of our lives. We’re finally free to choose something we like to study, we can make our schedules, and we can make new friends. But, of course, we think we can do it all- have a social life, go to class, ace all classes, and even work- but that’s not realistic for most. Most of us go through different emotions every day. Throughout the year, we all or at least most of us feel some common emotions.

1. When School Finally Starts Again

It’s no secret all college kids, or at least most, have a long vacation. Those 3 1/2 to 4 months are pure bliss and very much needed in order to catch up from the stress of the year. But when we have to come back to reality, we all dread it or at least most of us do.

2. Buying Books And Paying Bills

Let's face it- most of us are broke in college. We just seem to kick it and hope for the best. It is a horrible feeling being in debt and knowing you can't pay some bills because some are so high they trump the others. Especially the books, which I agree are too expensive and, considering we're going there at least 4 years, they should be free. It's the least they could do.


3. Getting Homework On Or Before The First Day

I think everyone can agree we all hate those teachers who give us homework the very first day or even before the semester starts. I think it's unfair, especially getting work before. Like, we haven't even met you yet, calm down. I understand trying to get all the work done before the semester is over is hard, but with good teaching you shouldn't have to worry about it. If you have to stress over how you teach or finishing your curriculum in time, maybe you should revise your work load. It's not healthy for anyone.


4. Getting Swamped With Work

We've all been there: our work seems to only rise and you feel like you're drowning in it. Especially during finals, it can be rough and we feel like pulling our hair out.


5. Contemplating Everything And If It's Even Worth It

Let's face it, we've all been there when we've had too much on our plate and we end up questioning if it's even worth it to continue doing anything. We've all had the thought that we would be better doing nothing than going on. But rest assured, all this hard work will eventually pay off.


6. Dealing With Rude Teachers/Students

I think it's safe to say we've all had our fair share of teachers that have been rude or just not good at their job. We have also dealt with kids who are rude and, frankly, make you question why they're even in college because they do nothing. It's frustrating in these classes and, often time,s we find the class is the only one offered that semester. Or all other ones are filled and we can't switch teachers. It can be frustrating dealing with rude or mean students as well. It can really take the fun out of a class you may have been excited for.


7. Do Any Test

https://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/2015/10/30/63581762159182703787336741_kevinemotions.gif

Let's face it, doing anything in college sends us into being an emotional wreck. We stress over everything and make everything a heavier task than usual when doing so. Us college people are usually very over-dramatic and I can definitely relate.


8. Not Caring

Most of us at some point just give up and stop caring. At the end of every semester, we always feel exhausted to the point of giving up and contemplating whether or not we want to go through with everything.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
