Relationships

To My High School Best Friends

To the girls who have always been there for all my ups and downs, I couldn't thank you enough.

To the two most amazing girls I know,

I can't put into words how lucky I am to have you guys in my life. You guys have seen me at my best and at my worst, but you always stick around to help me get through any situation — no matter how messed up it may be. Through every break-up, heartache, and failure, I can always count on you to be there for me. I'm beyond thankful that I can always rely on you to help me get through all those shitty situations and I'm even more grateful that I can be there to help you too.

It feels like yesterday we were sophomores sitting in the cafeteria, joking around about anything and everything. We had always been super close and did everything together--from eating lunch to buying our prom dresses to working Clemson Concessions for 12 hours straight. You guys were my first call when I got accepted into CofC and a shoulder to cry on when Dartmouth didn't work out. You supported me through the toughest times of my life and I couldn't imagine what my life would be like without you.

By the end of our senior year, you guys were no longer my Best Friends--you were my sisters. The hardest goodbye I had to make was to y'all and my plan of moving across the state was harder than I had originally thought. We had grown up together and shared everything with each other; moving away felt like the worst decision for me during that time. I was afraid we would start to grow apart and slowly lose our friendship. Honestly, it was hard to imagine starting college without you guys at my side.

Now, as my first semester at college is coming to an end, I couldn't have been more wrong. Even though we might not talk every day or see each other all the time, you two are still my first call if I have any major news. Anytime I need a good laugh or someone to listen, I can still count on you guys to always be there. I couldn't be more thankful to call y'all my sisters and I can't wait to see what the rest of our lives hold for us.

Love always, Em

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

Library Struggles Every College Student Will Understand

Are you really a college student if you don't stay up all night studying in your pajamas?

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

Christmas is on the brain during the month of December, not finals! How do you expect me to study?

Are you really a college student if you don't stay up all night studying in your pajamas?

1. You get there and immediately look for a place to sit and all the tables are full.

2. You finally find a place to sit, and you look at your assignment.

3. Are you really a college student if you don't stay up all night studying in your pajamas?

4. When someone walks in wearing normal clothes and you're in your pajamas.

5. When random people come up to you and ask you to take their surveys.

6. There's always this really loud group of people in the corner who are clearly not studying.

7. I think I need a study break!

8. When your friend isn't done studying, but you want to leave.

9. When you send in your assignment one minute before it's due.

10. Then you realize you forgot an assignment that's due tomorrow.
