Go to Earth, they said. It'll be easy, they said.

Steven Universe fans have fallen in love with this weird green lady. Full of relatable angst, sweet ignorance, and funny faces, she is the perfect alien to show us what the crazy college life is all about.

1. Walking in to class on the first day

I'm gonna crush this semester!

2. When the professor teaches a lecture during syllabus week

3. Sitting in your class like

4. Getting to the exam

5. When you don't even understand the first question on the exam so you skip to the second question but you don't understand that either so you skip to the third question but

6. Leaving the exam

It's all over now.

7. Running way from your responsibilities

8. When your friends comfort you after a mental breakdown

9. When your family asks how school is going

10. When all of your group project members are awful

11. Thirsty Thursday

12. Trying to flirt with people at the bar

13. Waking up the next day with no hangover

14. When your professor asks for volunteers

15. When you just want to give up

16. The way your professor looks at you when they give you a bad grade

DISQUALIFIED!

17. When you actually get a good grade on something

There's still hope!

18. When you're procrastinating on final projects

19. When you finally finish that 15 page research paper

20. When you're starving, broke, and your friends pity you

Any Gravity Falls fans? Mabel and Dipper are too pure for this world.

21. When it's Saturday and you know you should be productive and work on that homework you've been neglecting but you can't bring yourself to get out of bed

22. When you finish your last final and finally get to go home for the summer

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?

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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
