My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

Everybody can relate

My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week
ABC News

Ahhh college. What a glorious time in one's life. But also, what a stress filled, anxiety ridden, and bad luck filled time of your life. Or maybe that's just me. I firmly believe that there is a separate, distinct type of luck reserved just for college kids. I call it "College Luck". Last week was pretty horrendous, but as I look back on it now, some parts were funny...some.

1) Three tests in one week.

Originally I would have had 4, but by the grace of God, my statistics teacher moved the test back a week. I think I ate my weight in Cheeto's to celebrate.

2) Closed my hair in my Jeep door...

I was very excited to go to the pet store to get a Betta fish. I thought that life was going to leave me alone for 30 minutes so I could pick out a cute little fish. No chance. My hair reaches all the way to my butt. Butt length hair+ heavy wind+me shutting my Jeep door at the same time=disaster. As I tried to walk away I was suddenly yanked backwards. Another obstacle was to figure out how to contort to reach my door handle to release my hair from the death grip my door had on it. Highlight of that trip? I have a beautiful Betta fish and his name is Cheeto.

3)Clowns Terrorized Milledgeville.

On top of spending all the hours of the day in class and then at Starbucks studying, I had to have a heart attack every time I came home (at night) and made the walk (run) up to my apartment. With pictures and videos circling the Internet of people wearing clown masks and the threat of being lured in by a baby's cry was absolutely too much for me to handle.

4) The local coffee shop making jokes about the clowns...

"An iced coffee a day keeps the clowns away." I hope every GCSU student bought an iced coffee.

5) The boys that live above me

Where do I start? The boys that live above me are something else. The noises that come through my ceiling, I honestly don't want to know what's actually going on. Whether it is 10a.m. or 4a.m., they always seem to find someone to fight (and yell for 30 minutes at each other how much they want to fight), bang around, slam doors, and have an insanely squeaky bed... Thank you boys above me for always keeping me guessing what's coming next.

Even though this is only one week out of the year that was especially bad and it seemed like hell when it was happening, now that it's over, it's actually funny. But only some parts. The clowns still aren't funny. This week taught me that no matter what life throws at you, get through it and laugh about it later.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
