College is supposed to be some of the best years of our lives. It is a time of exploration and self-discovery. We try to find what we are good at and try to make a career out of it.
Obviously, college has its ups and downs and "That 70s Show" perfectly describes it:
When you remember you have a paper due at midnight (and you haven’t started it)
It happens more often than we would like to admit.
When your professor cancels class
More time to sleep! Or catch up on studying or homework, but let's be real.
When it’s finals week
The time of the year when you forget everything you thought you learned. It feels like your life is falling apart.
When you have $2.00 in your bank account
“I need to cut down on the Starbucks,” you say to yourself every week.
When you have obligations and events and commitments and meetings but you watch Netflix instead.
You can give yourself a break.
When you get a decent grade on an exam
Hey, you might actually know what you’re doing! Or maybe not.
When people ask you about your life
What are you majoring in? Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? How are your grades? What do you want to do when you graduate?
When you have assignments and exams and projects that just keep piling up
Your professors are plotting against you, you're sure of it.
When you have to fight the elements while walking across campus
The weather app becomes your best friend. Is it raining? Snowing? Hailing? You have to be prepared because your classes become that much worse if you are soaking wet and freezing.
When you leave for break
Finally, a chance to breathe, relax, and spend time with family. Unless your professors scheduled an assignment.

But really, college is great. I’ve already grown as a person and I'm figuring out how to get my life together. Kind of.
