All-nighters, public speaking, group projects, attendance is mandatory, pop quizzes, finals week...any of these words or phrases making you cringe yet?

College is a stressful place, and even though we spend most of our lives preparing for it, nothing can really prepare you for four years of constant stress and pressure.

Nothing is worse than those days on end when you have to schedule your entire day hour by hour. You might have class for five hours of the day, then you have a meeting for the club you accidentally joined, then you have to go to intermural practice, then you have to write that paper that was assigned weeks ago but now you only have today to do, then you have to somehow try to eat meals and maybe uphold a social life?

While all this is happening you are trying to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. It's hard and frustrating and I get it.

If it were easy, everyone would do it. Am I right, or am I still emotionally unstable after that last Business Stats exam? Someone let me know.

I know if it were easy everyone would be doing it because when I'm not using my time to study, I'm searching for a way to ditch the stress of school and yet still be equally successful. Which is totally possible to be successful and not in school, a lot of my friends aren't in college but still feel equal amounts of stress. But college is different.

You could walk past a girl eating chicken nuggets in her car hysterically crying and not even bat an eye.

She needs that chicken nug. She needs that good cry, And you know to let her do it in peace.

You could spot a kid passed out in the back of a classroom or on a park bench in the quad and not even look twice. College kids rarely sleep, so when they are asleep you better let them be.

Basically what I'm trying to say, is that college can be a big ball of stress and it's not cut out for everyone and that's okay. But just know that you're not alone, we're all stressing out together in one way or another.
