The first week of classes. It can be the best of times and the worst of times. Sometimes you'll get lucky and all your professors will only go over the syllabus the first day. And then sometimes they'll assign assignments that are due the first week. You might be a little nervous just take a deep breath this week is over before you know it. Here's some thoughts you probably will have this week:


1. When the teacher says the textbook is required.

I really have to pay $50 or more for a book I'm gonna use once? I don't think so I'll just take really good notes. I heard we do not even need the book anyway.


2. When your professor asks you to introduce yourself and share a interesting fact about yourself.

Wait what is my name? Oh my gosh I don't know an interesting fact about myself all I do is sleep and eat! I am totally not prepared for this. What did I do this summer?


3. When the professor finishes going over the syllabus early and starts teaching actual material on the first day.

This is just wrong like who do they think they are? I am not mentally prepared for this! I didn't even bring a pencil or paper, come to think about it I don't even think I brought my brain!


4. When you're running late to class and it's the first day.

I am only a minute late I doubt they started yet. But what if there's no seats left? I am totally going to have to sit in the front now. Crap...


5. When you have nothing to wear.

This makes me look like a hobo. I have to look cute but not too cute, I don't want to look like I tried too much. That's it I am not going.


6. When you just really want it to be Friday already.

Is it Friday yet? I really need it to be the weekend already. My brain has absorbed way too much information this week.


7. When you have an hour or more break between classes.

What am I going to do with all this time? Wonder if anyone else is out of class? Well I guess I have time to get some coffee and creep on people in the university center or I could take a quick nap.


8. When you can't find your classroom.

I have no clue where I am, did they remodel this building cause I am pretty sure it never had this many rooms. I am going to be late looking for this stupid room. That is an acceptable excuse right?


9. When people in front of you walk super slow.

OMG! They walk so slow, I seriously want to stab them. How can they not be in a hurry too? They must be freshmen...


10. when you finally complete the first week of classes.

Give yourself a pat on the back you made it through the first week with only a few breakdowns and thoughts of dropping out to a stripper.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
