The Worst First World Problems

First World Problems are the devil's way of punishing success.

From Apple chargers to Starbucks coffees, First World Problems are all around us. If technology is so great, why do I have to use three different remotes to watch TV? And what is with those 30 second YouTube ads that you can't skip but don't want to watch? Here are the worst #FirstWorldProblems from twitter.

1. iMessage vs Text

ohh myy goodnessss I hate when my iMessage doesn't send & I have to send as a text message🙄🙄 #firstworldproblems
— Maddie:)) (@maaddie_01) December 1, 2016

I hate this because sometimes it changes the next message to a text too and now there is a green text message in the middle of all the blue iMessages and a part of me dies on the inside.

2. Fuzzy socks

My fuzzy socks are too warm. #firstworldproblems
— WALTERRIFIC (@The_Walterrific) December 2, 2016

Why must the world be this cruel?

3. Pause the scrolling

I have never pressed the spacebar on YouTube with the intention of scrolling down #FirstWorldProblems
— First World Life (@FirstWorldLife) November 24, 2016

Did you know there is a dedicated key for pausing videos? It's 'k'. Try it next time.

4. Headphone-less horrors

Left my headphones at home today >_< Now I have to sit and listen to my own inane thoughts like a caveman. #FirstWorldProblems
— David Smith (@DVDSmith) November 24, 2016

The agony of listening to your own thoughts. There is only one thing worse: social interaction.

5. Naptime blues

All I want is a nap but the cleaners are in 😭 #firstworldproblems #ireallydoapreciatethecleaners #imjustsosleepy
— jazz 🐝 (@outofthee_woods) November 24, 2016

Do they really have to vacuum my room twice?

6. Remember who?

#firstworldproblems
websites that have a "remember me" button and then don't ever remember you.

7. Streakless

you don't know sadness until you loose a snapchat streak #firstworldproblems
— Cassandra (@cassandra_lg) November 24, 2016

Someone broke a 324 day streak with me. I wouldn't talk to them for a week.

8. Hungry Hippos

too hungry to sleep but too lazy to get up and get food #FirstWorldProblems
— little miss caramel (@gabbyandrade19) November 24, 2016

Have you ever been too tired to sleep?

9. Apple Music

Upgrade pains: You have to manually download your entire @AppleMusic library to play offline when you get a new phone. #FirstWorldProblems
— Oray Egin (@OrayinEnglish) November 23, 2016

This is personally the worst out of all of these. I've had to redownload over 600 songs. Twice.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

Widener University

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

The Power of Dressing Up

College of Staten Island

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
