10 Fulfilling Moments That Make All College Students Feel Like They're On Cloud 9
Blake Cheek

There are those moments when you feel like you are on top of the world. Those moments where you feel like there is absolutely nothing tearing you down. You're unstoppable. You're at complete ease (or at least just for a moment). Sometimes, its the little things in life that are the most appreciated.

1. Getting an A on a test that you thought you failed

No greater feeling than realizing you are smarter than you thought you were. It's the most satisfying feeling in the world.

2. Drinking ice cold water when you first wake up in the morning

Especially during the summer!

3. Finally going to bed after a really long day

Me right now, honestly.

4. Taking a shower after coming back from the gym

Going to the gym in of itself is pretty satisfying, but the shower after is the best feeling in the world.

5. Seeing your dog for the first time in a long time

What an amazing stress-reliever.

6. Seeing your dog ever

Again, so stress-free.

7. Walking out of your very last final at the end of the semester

And I'm sure we absolutely cannot wait until May when we have the whole summer of no classes.

8. Finishing an assignment before its due date

Sometimes it's really cutting it close to the deadline, but that feeling when you submit is the whole weight of the world lifting off of your shoulders.

9. When your nails are perfectly manicured

Sometimes when your life is a mess, your manicure makes you feel a little bit more at peace.

10. Waking up actually feeling refreshed

I'm aware that this rarely ever happens, but when it does, we very, very much appreciate it.

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.

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.
