Ah, "Grown Ups." What a fantastic movie with a fantastic cast. As I recently rewatched the comedy, I realized just how many times something was said that made me, a college student, say "same." 14 times to be exact.

1. When life gets rough

Just give me some chocolate ice cream and I'll be fine.

2. When there's free food being offered at an event

Free food? Okay, I'll come.

3. When everyone is trying to tone their "spring break body," but you didn't jump on the band wagon

I mean, we've established that we like food so...

4. When one of your teachers is a savage

Because most of them are...

5. Honestly when anything happens

Because most of us are confused about what's going on 97% of the time.

6. When you see some of the new clothing trends around campus

Sometimes I wonder where the new trends come from.

7. When the frattest of the frat guys show up

You know the ones.

8. When your professors start telling stories about their childhood

Because I don't know about everyone else, but my professors like to make jokes about how old they are.

9. When someone wants to make plans, but you have TV shows to watch

Sorry, I have to know what's happening.

10. When you see an attractive person

And you end up making a fool of yourself.

11. When a professor gives you a VERY detailed test AND expects you to completely finish it in less than an hour class period

And doesn't understand why the students are worried about their grade...

12. When your friends talk you into going somewhere you really don't want to go

Saying "no" to friends is just a hard thing to do.

13. When you have no idea what is going on, but you're just trying to enjoy life

Weird things happen, but sometimes you just gotta go with it.

14. When you forget something on a test, but as soon as you leave, you know exactly what the answer is

I know the answer so it still counts right?

So, basically, "Grown Ups" narrates college.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
