College is great.

But college is also expensive AF.

The cool thing about that is everyone knows that, and everyone — businesses included — knows college kids can't afford to spend *too* much money that they do NOT have. So you know that student ID you have?

To My Little Sister, As She Leaves For College

Lindsey Brady

When I left home for college three years ago, I remember feeling a lot of different things. I was excited, nervous, anxious, and a little sad to be leaving my family five hours away from me. I was lucky enough to fall in love with the same college as my older sister, and having her on campus with me was a huge relief coming in. But now, it is my little sister's turn to leave home. She has chosen to create her own path and attend a different university than me and my older sister. While I am sad that she will not be around all the time, I could not be any prouder.

Being a big sister is not an easy task. You always want the best for your siblings no matter what, and when you are older, you feel a little bit of responsibility in making sure they are always OK. As an older sister, by far the hardest pill to swallow is realizing that although you mean well and want to help your siblings, they do not always need it. I've seen this with my little sister now, and it is harder than I thought it would be.

Please Spare Me From The Three Months Of Summer Break When People Revert Back To High Schoolers

They look forward to swapping stories with their friends at the local diner, walking around their old high school with a weird sense of superiority, and reminiscing their pre-college lives.

Please Spare Me From The Three Months Of Summer Break When People Revert Back To High Schoolers

Julia Bond

I know a surprising amount of people who actually couldn't wait to go home for the summer. They look forward to swapping stories with their friends at the local diner, walking around their old high school with a weird sense of superiority, and reminiscing their pre-college lives.

Me? Not so much. I don't mean to sound bitter. It's probably really comforting to return to a town where everyone knows your name, where your younger friends want you around to do their prom makeup, and where you can walk through Target without hiding in the deodorant aisle. But because I did this really annoying thing where my personality didn't really develop and my social anxiety didn't really loosen its grip on me until college, I have a very limited number of people to return to.

The First 5 Thoughts You Had When You Rented Your First Apartment

https://www.everypixel.com/search?q=apartment&stocks_type=free&image_id=13801648574136801824

Growing up I imagined what it would be like to live in an apartment and be able to say that it's mine. College has dorms, but it just isn't the same. Dorms have things about them that restrict certain activities and just feels like it isn't the real thing. My roommate and I recently agreed on an apartment for the upcoming school year and the process of renting one is well underway. Here are my first five thoughts about renting my first apartment:

It'll give me a little space.
