College Life Through Dustin Henderson

Eleven. Demogorgon. Eggo Waffles.

If these words spark interest rather than confusion, you may be a fan of the Netflix original, Stranger Things. The incredible eight episodes of this series have become a hit amongst many! There are so many aspects of the show that keep viewers on their toes.

Now while the suspense is thrilling, there is also a bit of comic relief thrown in to allow people who get scared easily (like myself) time to pry their hands away from their eyes. And more often than not, this comic relief is supplied by Dustin Henderson. I have to say, this curly haired fella is quite the relatable character. Here are just a few examples of how Dustin Henderson represents the crazy life of a college student.

When your friend drives you to the store and you "accidentally" end up in the junk food aisle.

When you walk into class late and everyone is staring at you.

When the crosswalk is clearly allowing pedestrians to cross, but a car still comes swerving around the corner.

When you make eye contact with people as you stare out your window.

When you haven't tried every Cookout milkshake, but your friend won't go with you at 1:00 am.

When you walk into class and someone is sitting in your spot, so you kindly ask them to move.

When you hear about study abroad programs and get overly excited to experience new cultures.

When you have nothing to eat so you grab your roommate's leftovers...and they catch you.


When your friend asks you to study now for a test that is next week.

When you push aside your homework for just one Netflix episode and suddenly it's 3:00 am.

We all love Barb, and even though "you're an idiot, Steve Harrington"...we still love you too, but I think Dustin takes the cake! He is witty and also very caring. He just darn well keeps the gang together throughout the show!

So whether you have just gotten on the bandwagon or you're a longtime fan, we are all sad that season two has not come yet. Hang in there friends!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

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.

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.
