20 GIFs That Accurately Depict  the Realities of College Life
Ian White



The first semester in college is a time when you are experiencing new things and adapting to the new enviroment.

For those who are struggling or just want to know how we manage to survive in college, here is an explanation...

With GIFs!!



You will have essays, and if you're like me, you sometimes wait until the worst time to write them...

...and you always seem to run out of new things to write that relate to the topic you're writing about.


Your sleep habits won't get better in college.



You will need to find your own way of studying that works.


You will find yourself procrastinating more often.

\


Sometimes, you'll lose the motivation to do anything.


Things cost money and you may not have much of it.



You will have to pay for your food, and you may find yourself getting more involved in your community because of this.


Some of the things you learned in high school won't make sense now.


You will have struggles...




You sometimes will feel as if you are terrible at making friends. But that's okay, just do your best.


Don't worry about the Problems with College...


Just focus on the positives.


And look to your friends and family in times of need...



College may not be hard for you, but for some people, it is a hard transition. Understand those who are struggling and take the extra step to help them.

Be that person that steps up and changes their day. Show them that they are supported. You don't have to do something big, you just need to recognize and help those who need it.



Transitioning to College Life isn't Easy, but you're not alone. We're all in this together.


Just remember: Everything will be fine



Even if you did perfectly fine last semester, others may not be doing as well as you. Show them that you support them.

You may feel good when you're doing great, but you'll feel way better when you are able to help and see others do great, using the skills you have mastered.

Share this with someone who you know is struggling through college, and tell them that you will be there for them no matter what.

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.

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.

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.
