Kicking Off The New Year With A Cold

Dear virus,
It's me. Yes me. The college student you decided to attack. I don't know how I became your next target. All I know is that I had all of these amazing plans for New Years. You know, hanging out with friends, cooking, getting dolled up, and spending time with the fam. THANK YOU. Now my all of my plans are ruined because of you. I guess I should be grateful because you were respectful enough to wait for winter break rather than finals week to attack my body. It's hard to feel grateful though. All I feel right now is hatred towards your stupid little virus behind. Do you actually think I want a runny nose??! No I do not because then I have the difficult task of picking up my little tissue box and using the tissue to blow my nose approximately 100 times a day. AND THEN, I get a Rudolph nose which doesn't go away for an entire WEEK. AND THEN, I have to put Vaseline on it and I absolutely hate doing that because it feels like someone is constantly tickling my nose. Listen, have some compassion. It's a new year. Please go away.

Best regards,
A sad college student

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
