College As Told By April Ludgate
Lazy Sunday

If you are anything like me, April Ludgate is your spirit animal and college life is difficult, especially this time of the semester when everything is chaotic and summer is so close. Here is college explained by April Ludgate in her witty, artful, sarcastic and sometimes hateful way that we have all come to know and love. Enjoy!

1. When the professor calls on you after you were completely not paying attention and have no clue as to what is happening in class.

2. When you have to start adulting (such as paying for gas, food, bills, grocery shopping and everything else you had never thought of before) on your own.

3. When you are halfway excited to go back after break, but then your professor gives you your syllabus for the semester and it is nothing but insane amounts of reading, papers and projects.

4. When you have a big presentation that you have to do in front of the whole class.

5. When you are trying to pep talk yourself into being productive.

6. When your friend asks you about your parents.

7. When you contemplate dropping out, but then have to come up with another plan as to what you will do with your life.

8. When you are asked what your hobbies are in life.

9. Sitting in your 8 a.m. class like...

10. After you finally make it out of a class alive at the end of the semester.

11. When your professor unexpectedly cancels class last minute.

12. When you are in the middle of a test that you apparently did not study enough for.

13. When you are trying to convince your parents that you are being a great, responsible adult.


14. When high schoolers come to campus and you are forced to interact with them.

15. When someone asks why you chose your major.

16. When you realize how much you have due and you have procrastinated all semester.

17. When you get your test back that you bombed...

18. But when you actually get a good grade on a test.

19. When you are with your squad trying to give a presentation.

20. And finally...when you are asked why you are even in college

My fellow April Ludgates: keep pushing on. We will conquer college!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
