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

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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
