Daily Struggles Of A College Kid

The struggle is real.

Daily Struggles Of A College Kid

College is great, but the daily struggles you will face the next four years are almost unavoidable. You will somehow misplace every important item you own in your 12x15 room, and you will be faced with choices that just become to much to deal with on a daily basis. So here we go, all aboard the struggle bus!!!

Losing your ID

Nothing's better than losing what is essentially your life line on campus. Your way into your room, your laundry, and most importantly, your food. Losing your ID is the true definition of “the struggle”.

Fries or salad?

… I know what the answer should be, but I think the better question is, do I care?.

Getting out of bed

Doesn’t matter if your class is at 8 a.m. or noon.

After a long night of binge watching Netflix, the struggle to get out of bed is TOO real.

Running out of your favorite snack

Nothing’s worse than going for your fav snack after a long day, reaching into the box to then be filled with utter disappointment and sadness after discovering that there is nothing left. This is truly a sad day.

Forgetting about that load of laundry sitting in the dryer

Yup, and now it’s all layering the floor of the laundry room and tops of the other dryers. Chances are, I just reminded someone who’s reading this and they’re on their way to get their laundry at this very moment. You’re welcome.


Jeans or yogas?

I don’t know, I just don’t know!!! I want to look like a real person, but the urge to put on yoga pants and a sweatshirt is just too strong.


When anything over $5 is considered expensive

Yet there is somehow always money for alcohol?

Cleaning your dorm room/suite

You can’t help but notice that the sink is overflowing with dishes. The counter is cluttered with every item imaginable, and if you live with all girls, you have noticed that the floor has more hair on it than is currently on your head( don’t judge, you know it’s true). But, with 2 papers, 3 midterms, and a PowerPoint to get done, cleaning automatically falls to the bottom of the list.

The thought of the unbelievable amount of debt you will soon be in crosses your mind at least once a day.

Sorry for reminding you ...

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
