Real Life College Struggles Known To Be True As Told By 'Shameless'
TV Guide

It's no secret that Showtime's "Shameless" has taken over the television industry. It's easily one of the most messed up shows but that's probably why it's so addicting. The name of the show truly does speak for itself. The series follows the chronicles of a South Side family just trying to get by with a long list of unfortunate events that occur along the way.

With all the highs and lows, screw-ups, hook-ups and financial struggle it low-key relates to your average college student— but hopefully not to the full "Shameless" extent:

1. Having less than $5 in your bank account which calls for desperate measures.

2. When you're low on money and need a "loan" from mom or dad.



3. Being told to get your act together.


4. Questioning whether torturing yourself for this degree is worth it.

5. That moment you really contemplate dropping out.

6. But then you remember where that one piece of paper will get you in life.

7. You question yourself for various reasons.

8. Anxiety, insomnia and mental breakdowns are a regular thing.

9. Realizing you need a 103% on your next exam to keep your B- somehow.

10. Not comprehending one thing from that hour and a half lecture.



11. Being lectured on ethics but your professor doesn't practice what they preach.


12. When your friend does the deed and you want the details.



13. You would nap anywhere if given the opportunity.

14. When booze becomes your shameful best friend.

15. It might be gross but you know cheap alcohol will ultimately get the job done.

16. Not remembering to submit something online.

17. Late night munchies might haunt you later on but it's just so freaking worth it.

18. When the GroupMe blows up while you're trying to nap.

19. Or when your GroupMe reminds you of all the poor decisions you made the night before.

20. But going through your camera roll or snapchat story only to high-key have no regrets.

21. When your parents ask you how you been.


22. Or when your parents ask about your grades.....

23. When you find a quizlet for a class that seems everything but possible to pass.

24. When your professor takes forever to email you back.


25. Did I mention your alcoholism?

26. When things get rough your friends have the perfect solution to cheer you up.

27. Getting caught up in your feels in today's society.

28. When people just really push your buttons and you want to avoid them at all costs.

Whether you want to admit it or not, everyone has had their fair share of moments— both shameful and shameless. It happens. It's OK. These people get it and aren't judging you. I mean hey, you're clearly doing something OK in life since you're not Frank Gallagher, right?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
