1. When you've tried on absolutely everything in your closet and can't decide what to wear.


This also applies to when you look outside and it is snowing and you have no clothes for snow.

2. When your neighbors won't shut up and it's past quiet hours and you're trying to sleep.

Or if you have people above you who stomp around like elephants.

3. When your professor wants you to elaborate more on what you just said.


This probably already took a lot of guts if it was in front of the whole class.

4. When you finish all your homework (or are procrastinating) and are binge-watching Netflix.


Yeah, this probably happens a few times a day. Besides, we're broke. We can't afford real food.

5. When you finally do have time to sit down and have a meal.


But of course, this time was carved out of your schedule because you think you might be losing the Freshman 15 instead of gaining it.

6. When Thanksgiving Break is two weeks away.


Ask any college student... this is truly what we say.

7. When you don't think you have any homework, but then 11:30 p.m. rolls around and you realize you have a paper due at midnight that you haven't even started.

Or when class starts in 2 minutes, you're 4 minutes away and have a quiz that closes before class starts.

8. When you realize finals are two weeks away, but most are due next week.


Usually, these are huge projects and yet you still have to stay until Friday of finals week for the ONLY final due actually on finals week that just happens to be from 7-9 p.m. Why????

9. When you've been in your room all weekend doing homework and watching Netflix.


When you finally have the chance to go home, you usually want to just lay in your own comfy bed, but your mom wants you to go out with her and all your friends...

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?

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.
