College students like to pretend like we have it all together when in reality, there are times we have no idea what we are doing or what we will do next. Not to be a saving grace today, but here are some life hacks designated for college students like myself.

1. Let's get real here, the different internet accounts we've made over the years have come and gone, but some may need to be deleted so potential employers don't get a wrong idea of who you are now. I happily deleted my ask.fm account. I was way too sassy in some of the answers, and that account needed to go.

2. If you are one of those people that buys a bunch of random food like myself, then this website will be beneficial in jazzing up your meals. Plain chicken and a pasta side can get old, real fast.

3. You will thank me after a long night out.

4. I haven't personally tried this one, but it's totally worth a shot for late-night cramming.

5. Because you really should stop using Wikipedia for schoolwork.

6. As a lover of Quizlet, saying the flashcards out loud may be more sufficient.

7. For those who haven't heard of Mathway, you are missing out. There is a phone app for Mathway and it is online. Mathway has been my right hand man for college math classes. If you pay a little extra on the mobile app, it will show you step by step how they got the answer.

8. You can now have perfect looking grammar since no one really knew what to do when Word told you to revise a fragment.

9. Redbox and Chill?

10. Hey freshmen, your Resident Assistant and roommates will be much happier with you after this one.

11. PS. Don't wait until the night before, because this will take extra time from cramming.

12. Besides an education, look what else can come out of going to college!

13. Speaking of saving money: Not only would it feel great to ditch your semester textbook but also get paid for them.

14. Boy, does going to college have its perks! Another way for free entertainment and procrastination!

15. Good luck on the job hunt! Hopefully this helps!

16. Getting paid and avoiding the extra college pounds sounds good to me!

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

257

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
