19 Things You're Going To Hear In February On Basically Every Campus

It's February, aka the month of bad dates, spring break plans, and mid-semester crises. Here are 19 things you can expect to hear on campus this month.

1. "What are you doing over spring break?"

This question gives college students anxiety. We want to go someplace warm and have a blast, but we're also broke. No one wants to spend spring break sitting at home.

2. "I hate winter."

Me too, sister. Can someone remind me why I didn't just move to Arizona for college?

3. "How is it already February?"

Wasn't New Year's Eve, like, last week?

4. "Just a few more months."


This is the mantra getting students through until summer break, or their graduation.

5. "It'll warm up soon."

Keep telling yourself this and eventually, it will be true.

6. "It's almost Galentine's Day!"


We get it, you're single.

7. "Do you have any Valentine's Day plans?"

If you have a SO, this question is easy. If you don't, this question sucks.

8. "I hate being single."

I think we can all agree that being single during the month of February is truly brutal.

9. "I should really start studying for the midterm."

Everyone says this while knowing deep down inside that they probably won't start studying until the night before.

10. "Let's go out this weekend."


Homework can wait, right? This always seems like a good idea until you have 29 assignments all due tomorrow.

11. "How many days until break?"

Counting down always makes things a little easier.

12. "I really need to get my shit together."

Listen, I know I've been saying this for the last 21 years of my life, but I really mean it this time, okay?

13. "It's so cold out. I'm dying."

Maybe it's just me who says this, but every day seems colder than the last. This is especially awful when there's a blizzard outside and your professor still hasn't cancelled class.

14. "I have a paper due next week, and I haven't started."


Also overheard on campus: "I have a paper due tomorrow, and I haven't started." We've all been there.

15. "We met on Tinder."


I know so many people who've met their SO on Tinder. Tinder's user rates must skyrocket in February since no one wants to spend V-Day alone.

16. "I have no idea what I'm doing with my life."

February is almost March, which is basically April, and then it's May. Which means I need to figure out my life, ASAP.

17. "I don't want to go to class."

Once syllabus week is over, this is a sentence I say on the daily.

18. "Should I do my homework?"

The correct answer to this question is "yes." The answer I want to hear is "no."

19. "I'm going home to watch Netflix."


This is college-student-speech for "I'm so done." Watching Netflix is the cure for all problems.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
