The Life Of A College Student

As told by Nick Miller

College is such a great time. You are broke, you barley get any sleep, your life is consumed with pulling all-nighters and forgetting about quizzes, and your diet consists of vodka and Ramen. Nick Miller accurately describes the life of a college student.

When one of your friends gets engaged:


We have all been there. We want to be happy, but we are jealous, but we are happy, but we are crying.

When you're the DD at the party, but your friends want you to get up and dance:

When you're in a boring class:

When your crush likes your Instagram post:

Don't lie, you do the same thing.

Reading your friends' Happy Birthday posts:

When you're really feeling your outfit, but your friends tell you that you look stupid:

But you don't care, because you feel hot to trot!

Using your fake ID at the bar:

When you yell at your friend, but they love you anyway:

We have all been there -- after a long night, we snap at our friend, but they don't take it to heart and they love us anyway.

When you didn't study for your quiz, but your friend did:

When you actually dress up for class and everyone asks you why:

Duh...

When your parents ask why the money they gave you for groceries was spent at the liquor store:

Uhhhhh, well... I can explain...

When a cutie buys you a drink at the bar:

When you have a presentation, and you go into the bathroom to give yourself a last minute pep talk:

When your parents ask why you're failing biology:

When your crush winks at you:

And you're awkward and do the first thing that comes to mind.

When you go to your professor's office hours:

Coming back from Spring Break:

And getting your paper back from that Monday.

When you're at the party, but your mom calls:

Going out on a Thursday night when you have an 8 a.m. on Friday morning:

And I'm sure it will happen again next week.

Waking up after a night out and drinking all of the water in the Brita filter:

When you finally get enough courage to go talk to your crush:

When you meet up with that Tinder match:

And they turn out to be the weirdest person you've ever met.

Reading your drunk texts from the night before...

Going home and having a real meal for the first time in months:

Watching two seasons of "Grey's Anatomy" in one day:

Asking yourself why you would put yourself through a week long all-nighter for finals:

Getting your grades back at the end of the semester, and knowing your hard work paid off:

College can be tough, and sometimes can seem like it's more trouble than it's worth, but hang in there!

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
