Do you ever feel like as much as you try nothing goes your way? You work so hard to get a certain outcome yet for some reason things just don't go the way you intended. Yes you have tried staying positive, because that is your attitude anyways, but this time around you just can't anymore. You feel like nothing is working out in your favor and you just want to give up. We've all been there, matter of fact, I am there right now. The amount of things I can name that go along with this is too long. So if it helps I'm in the same boat.

You are at the lowest of ways right now and you don't know what else to do. You feel like you have the worst luck ever, you've been done wrong one too many times, and school is taking over your brain. But think about this, think about others that may have it way worse. It puts everything into perspective and will really make you appreciate what you do have, I promise you that.

Yes, you haven't slept in days, but someone out there fall asleep on the ground every night.

Yes, you are stressed about your grades on your finals, but someone didn't even get the opportunity to come to college like you.

Yes, you have been hurt over and over again by people, but someone out there has lost their loved ones.

Yes, the cold you had last week sucked and you felt miserable for days, but children are in hospitals dealing with much worse right now.

You may be getting sick of the food you always eat, but someone hasn't had an actual meal in a long time.

Yes, driving hours home is a bit inconvenient, but some people don't have to means to afford a car and they have to walk everywhere instead.

So all in all, yes you have it bad right now, but others have it way worse. So if you ever feel like nothing ever goes your way, think of others. Don't take what you do have for granted. You are blessed and although right this moment your life is hard, there are plenty lives that are harder.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
