The Struggle Of College...

The struggle in college, not knowing what you want to do for your entire life. Every college student is going through the phase of figuring out what they would like to do with the rest of their lives. But as a senior, I still don't have a clue. Coming into college at 18, as a young adult, who would know what they would like to do? If you had it figured out, well, go you.

The struggle in college, changing your major more than once. Most students will change their major once, if not more. That's great for the university, because that means more money for them.

The struggle in college, waking up for that early 8 a.m. class that you skip half of the time. Having an 8 a.m. honestly is the worst, but it's the only time the class is offered, and you need it that semester because it's a prerequisite for another class you need the following semester.

The struggle in college, being tired. Most professors love planning tests around the same time. Students dislike it. Or, most do, anyway. That means an all-nighter, and just about every college student has stayed up all night at least once in their college career.

The struggle in college, finding a job, The town where your university is located is probably small, but if not, then you have an advantage. Living in a small town and dealing with school, homework, and then finding a job that will fit with your schedule can be difficult.

The struggle in college, being poor. So unless you're wealthy, the average college student struggles with financial problems. Paying for all the bills and then adding on additional organizations adds up.

The struggle in college, not finding a good man or woman. Nobody really wants a "relationship" in college. Most students just want someone to be there for them when needed: a night out every once in a while, so they don't have to be tied down,

The struggle in college, never looking cute for class. So you're walking to class and you see a girl dressed up, and you're staring at her, just wondering why. Most girls now wear and XL t-shirt when they should be wearing a small, and over-sized sweatpants with a hat thrown on, because they haven't washed their hair in a week.

The struggle in college, realizing it's senior year and you still have no idea what you're doing after college. But, one day, it will hit you. God will speak, and you will listen, and He will lead you down the road of success.

God has the most amazing plan for you. Jeremiah 29:11.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
