Sometimes April is rough, sometimes, you need a little humor

The Month of April for a College Student, As Told by Chandler Bing

From freshman to senior year, the month of April is a really rough one. From finding out midterm grades to working on final papers, it's hard to not be sidetracked by the warm summer-like air. For anyone in the panhandle, it's especially a struggle because you go to your 9 am class in sweat pants and a long sleeve shirt, and by the time you are heading to your afternoon classes, you are in shorts and a t-shirt and sweating. That doesn't help the summer-lust. With any problem, the best solution is to find a way to make it fun. And if anyone knows struggles and humor, it's Chandler Bing. So here are some of the struggles that college students face in the month of April and how Chandler would handle it.

1. By the time April comes, everyone is so tired and exhausted, sometimes you just have to rest, whether or not your mind agrees

2. Once you get your midterm grades, well let's just say you don't want to be seen, especially by your parents

3. You begin to realize that you aren't here for a MRS. degree, but you actually care about your future career

4. You are too tired or busy studying to go out, and your friends have noticed...

5. Everyone is wanting to start drama and you feel like you are back in middle school

6. Your friends still are trying to get you to go out, even on a Sunday, but Sundays are reserved for something else

7. Monday mornings are especially rough, particularly 8 A.M.s

8. Which can lead to some really awkward situations. And with being exhausted all the time, the situations are just worse.


9. And the only logical solution to day of embarrassing yourself (or maybe a week) is a bath


10. Then you remember why you are here in the first place

11. And the only logical solution to feel better about that is binge eating

12. But all in all, does it actually matter?

So all in all, yeah it is pretty rough, but you can't let something like a bad midterm grade and a lot of finals bring you down, you gotta push through it and hope for the best. But even if you do terrible, it's okay

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
