What College Is Really About

Let the stress begin!

We all have that moment when you have so much stuff to do and not enough time to do it in. I tend to have that feeling once a week (usually on Thursdays). As a college student, I learned what classes I can procrastinate in and which others I can't, like history. I don't recommend procrastinating, but if you do, know which ones are worth the stress. I learned that there are positive stresses in life from health, but how can that be? I guess an example of this is getting a job because it's something you really want. But college is different. It has been full of stress, and I don't normally get stressed, but here, it's a whole different playing field.

Staying healthy and getting all of your stuff done is harder than it looks. You'll grab anything that is accessible, easy and quick. And with finals coming up just a few weeks away, so will the pounds. Stress eating is one of those things that can't be avoided but can be healthy if you choose to do so. But, if you do pack on the pounds you have the summer to shed the weight before it happens again next year. It's hard to do things and keep a routine everyday.

College wasn't meant to be easy. There are things that a person can't change or foresee, but they can also change the out look of the end if he or she plays their cards right. Know what you have to do to succeed and do it. Every semester is full of uncertainties, and in my eyes, it's the best part. A new start. New goals. New you.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.

NBC Universal

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

Some Life

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
