To The Struggling College Student, Summer Is Almost Here
Rachel Neal

Dear struggling college student,

I know it feels like the end of the spring semester is so close yet so far away.

Trust me, we're all going through the blues.

The weather is nice, so all you wanna do is go outside and soak in the sun, but exams and studying and essays are all calling your name and preventing you from leaving your dorm.

I'm here to tell you that you can do it.

I know it's hard, but it'll be all worth it.

It'll be worth it once you pass all your classes.

It'll be worth it when you get to move back home to spend a few months with your family that you missed so much.

It'll be worth it when you can go to endless summer concerts and have the best time of your life.

It'll be worth it when you get to go on that vacation that you've planned for what feels like forever.

It'll be worth it when you can take long road trips with your friends with the windows down, blasting music, laughing until you're crying, and making those unforgettable memories with them again.

But most importantly, it'll all be worth it when you're finally stress-free and happy.

It sucks right now, but it won't suck in a few weeks once you take that final exam, walk out of your last lecture hall, and don't have to stay up all night finishing a 5-8 page essay.

So keep going, keep working hard, and make yourself proud by getting the grades you want and the grades you deserve.

Summer is almost here.

Happiness is almost here.

You can do it. I know you can.

Sincerely,

A fellow struggling college student

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
