This is the year that many people find themselves. A year for new beginnings and a fresh start. This Is the year for having fun, making new friends, and often being no where near your parents or home. This also is the year for mistakes, head-aches, regrets, and going into debt. But hey, these are the greatest years of your life, right?

Choose what you want to have for lunch.“ The questions just never stop. Sometimes you get so worked up in these decisions, that you cant help but always be on the verge of a mental break down.

Aside from your stressful days doing homework and long nights with your newly formed friend group, college doesn’t seem so bad after all. When you put those things aside and sit down at the end of the day, this is all any college girl could ask for…
