College Students Need To Listen To Schnitt Talk's 'Long Distance Dating In Quaratine' Podcast Right Now

I recently listened to Episode 77 of Schnitt Talk, "Long Distance Dating in Quarantine." It was exactly what I needed to hear. The episode mostly talks about the struggle of still being in the "talking" or early dating stage with someone while being apart during quarantine in college. However, the girls also bring up the struggles of deciding whether or not to go live back home, and if you do, how long you can stay without going insane!

Here are some of the highlights from the episode:

"Do you want to be with your family?"

I love my mom, I really do, but spending over a month living with just her? It's alot.

"I don't think I could actually, at this point in my life, do a month at my parent's house"

I need my freedom and I need it now!!

"I think if you're a college kid going back to your parents' house it's like, 'Holy f*ck, like what do I even do?'"

I moved out for a reason.

"What are you watching?" "I don't even know"

The girls talk about not being able to commit to a new show, and honestly, I couldn't relate more. I've watched so many series, and every time I try to start a new one it just doesn't capture my attention at all.

"I feel like there's one of two people in quarantine. You're reaching out to every single person you've ever met or you're literally ignoring humanity"

Why is responding to Snapchats SO EXHAUSTING when I literally have nothing else to do?

"I've been thinking about all the times that I've b*tched about not wanting to go out"

After quarantine I'm never saying no to going out.

"I can get eating disorder-ly very quickly"

Schnitt Talk recommend Noom which focuses on mindful eating. I tried counting calories for a week and that was awful. Now, I drink iced coffee for lunch, eat a solid meal for dinner, and only eat healthy snacks like carrots and popcorn.

"College relationships happen and work because you're seeing each other so often"

College relationships are different because they develop from being able to hangout with them a lot because they literally live within a walking distance from you.

"If you're still talking, why breakup? It's not like you can see other people anyway"

If you're like me, you want to know exactly what's going on in the other person's head. The truth is, he's probably just as confused as you are. It's scary not knowing what's going to happen but try to just stick with what you have right now and let the rest play itself out.

"What are you missing out on?"

Everyone is at home. No one is at the bars or cheating.

"The only people he's hanging out with are his mom and dad."

"If there's ever a time to learn how to sext, it's now"

Check out the Call Her Daddy podcast for tips.

"I've been talking out loud far too often"

Catch me walking around my house singing Tik Toks, "I'm bored in the house and I'm in the house bored." I'll just randomly start doing the Savage dance in the kitchen. Whenever my mom comes into my room I say "Oh shit you're here! You look so prettyyyy."

"Aerie has such good loungewear"

Sweatpants are all that fit me right now...

"I need to feel confident in some way"

It really helps to wake up and change into new clothes that are NOT sweatpants and a hoodie. Wear a cute outfit, do your hair, put on makeup if you feel like it!

"I'd like it to be sunny"

For those of you who are quarantining in a warm and sunny state with a pool- we are not in the same boat. In the northern US, it's cloudy for three days and on the days it's actually sunny it's still cold. I need the sun to be happy. Therefore, I am not happy 6 out of 7 days a week.

"My stomach will not stop being bloated"

I don't even have morning skinny some days, this is an outrage.

"I wish I was a runner"

I really do wish I could go on a 5 or 6 mile run, but my body is like, no. BUT I have started to go on interval runs three times a week, where I run for a minute, walk for 30 seconds, and so on for 3 miles which is about 30 minutes! Killer workout.

"It's a great time to learn how to cook because what the f*ck else are you doing?"

Put on an upbeat playlist. Make something healthy. Feel good about yourself. It's literally something to do, not like you're doing anything else more exciting in quarantine.

"I'll stay up for like two extra hours in bed on Tik Tok"

All of a sudden it's 2am. Yes, I have tried to learn the dances, no they did not go well. Yes, I have made my own TikToks, no I am still not famous.

Reminder: We are all going through this. Things are different for everyone. Give yourself, your friends, and your family some slack, okay? This is hard. Everyone is struggling in his or her own way. Be kind to yourself.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
