An Open Letter To The Boys Next Door

Please turn your music down.

An Open Letter To The Boys Next Door
The Pitch

Dear the boys next door,

Before I start, I'd just like to say that I'm sure you are truly lovely people who have nothing but good intentions at heart. I am also very happy that you all are having such a blast in college. However, for the love of all that is great, PLEASE turn your music down. I don't know why you insist on partying all days of the week or why you play loud music at all hours of the day, but some people (clearly not you two) like to study, sleep, or maybe just have some peaceful Netflix times. You always seem to have about a million people in your room (I still haven't figured out how they all fit in there) and they, as well as you, love to scream over one another. I come from a very loud, rambunctious family and am accustomed to constant noise but this, dear neighbors, is on a whole other level of loud. It's impressive, I'll give you that, yet hard to appreciate at two a.m.

I would also like to point out that slamming your door closed every two seconds can be felt throughout the entire hall, as neighbors down the way have commented on the reverberations. I understand that you enjoy letting people into the party, but you should consider closing it regularly instead of slamming it. Just a thought. As well as this, my roommate and I simply do not care that you want to 'talk' or 'hang out' at all hours of the morning. If it's after midnight, we won't answer the door so don't even come knockin'. Besides, the last time you barged your way in, you ate half of MY granola bar and then left in on the desk. Open. Running down the halls in the middle of the night while simultaneously screaming and laughing is another highly irritating tendency you all have. Hearing a stampede of boys in the middle of the night (especially when I have an 8 a.m.) is the absolute worst thing to wake up to.

The walls are paper thin, so it's not entirely your fault that I can't sleep or study or hear myself think when you all are partying. This being said, you could be considerate and turn it down a tad or two. Or three. Thanks.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
