12 Things To Worry About Besides Creepy Clowns

Huffington Post

Unless you live under a rock you have probably heard about creepy clown sightings. It seems pretty terrifying, especially when you hear about these clowns harassing people. The thing is, you are probably only hearing about these things, not even seeing them. Thanks to social media we get to see videos and pictures of these creeps, but are there actually any near us? Are people just freaking out and saying they saw a clown? If you are like me, I am not worrying about creepy clowns until I see one, and then I'll beat the crap out of it. There are other things in this world you need to worry about.

1. Midterms and projects

It's that time of the semester when your professor wants you to be miserable. Here's a huge group final project to work on and a midterm to study for. C's get degrees, fam.

2. This election

There's no sane good choice. But I would probably be terrified to see someone dressed as Trump or Hillary chasing after me. Be worried about that BS.

3. What to be for Halloween

Not a clown.

4. Your bank account

Who isn't broke? We all are spending money on supplies to purge these clowns.

5. STDs

Hey, I don't know your life but that might be something you should worry about. Not me though...mom, dad...not me, I'm good.

6. Sports

Baseball is coming close to an end, football is going, hockey season is about to start. I'm more stressed about the Blues first game against the Blackhawks than I am anything else. LGB

7. Loaded shotguns

Shout out to TFM (Total Frat Move) for showing the world men putting random shit into their shotguns before jugging it. If I ever see someone put their sandwich into a beer again...please just stop letting this be a thing.

8. Bee population

THE BEES ARE DYING AT AN ALARMING RATE.

9. Riots

People need to stop killing cops and one another. Calm the hell down.

10. What to eat for dinner

There comes a time when you need to stop going through the drive through every single day.

11. Spring break

It's never too early to start planning for SPRANGBREAK '17.

12. National debt

The United States is $19.3 trillion in debt! Where are we putting this money?! Area 51? Fort Knox?

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.
