College Life As Told By Emojis

We've all faced the struggles of college life at one point or another. Whether it be from procrastination, forgetfulness, or the dreaded freshman 15, college students have been pushed to the brink of a mental breakdown on more than one occasion. Here are some common situations you may find yourself in on a college campus, told by some of your favorite emojis!


1. Hot For Teacher


Your teacher gives study guides? And extra credit? And doesn't take attendance? Sign me up! (I'm not sure what they teach, but sign me up!)

2. The Munchies

You're pushing that freshman 15, but you still want junk food. It's pretty much irresistible when it's right at your disposal.

3. The Bad Idea

You're wondering just how long you can procrastinate on your assignments before you actually get around to doing them, even though deep down you know it's a terrible idea.

4. Stress Build-Up

You begin to realize that you were right: Procrastination was definitely not the best choice. Now you're left struggling to catch up.

5. You Got This!

You actually studied ahead of time and didn't procrastinate as usual. You probably got a full night's sleep this time, right?

6. Anxiety

You're nervously waiting for grades to be posted.

7. Heart Attack

"What do you mean 'We have a test today'?"

8. Puh-raise God!

You aced a test that you thought you failed.

9. Insomnia

You stayed up all night studying for a test, and once it's over you realize that a celebratory nap is in order. And maybe once you wake up you'll treat yourself to more junk food?

10. Rampage

You thought you did well on a test/assignment only to realize that your professor is picky when it comes to grading. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

11. Temporary Chill

You currently have no tests to study for or assignments to complete, so you just play it cool until everything hits you at one time.

12. Bragging Rights

You passed a test that everyone else failed, and you're trying not to brag (even though you really want to).

13. The Breakdown

You're feeling burned out on college life, and the stress is sending you into a mental breakdown.

14. Hopelessness

You just failed a test late into the semester and are now contemplating dropping out.

15. Defeat

You've already come to the realization that your future is in the drain, but you've decided to play it cool anyway.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
