10 Struggles All GCSU Students Understand

Chances are, if you attend Georgia College, you love it here. We have a beautiful campus full of friendly faces. There's plenty of ways to get involved- whether it's greek life, intramurals, or one of the various clubs offered. However, there are some universal struggles that all GCSU students can relate to:

1. It is impossible to walk outside at night without seeing a cockroach

The cockroaches out on the sidewalks used to gross me out so much. Now? They don't even phase me (okay maybe a little).


2. The arm workout you get when the handicap button on the doors are broken

Let's be real here, those doors are so heavy. Sorry to all the people behind me who I couldn't hold the door open for.



3. "Wait, you go to Georgia State right?"

It's GCSU not GSU!



4. Better yet, no one knows where your school is

"Where's that?", "Milledgeville", "Where's that??" Come on people, it used to be the old state capitol!



5. Your chance of finding an open study room is equivalent to winning the lottery

I am not exaggerating, it is actually impossible to find a study room that is free. Bonus points for the later you get into the semester.


6. The strict dress code of the Wellness Center

What do you mean I can't wear a tank top?

7. The limited number of washers and dryers in the dorms

If you plan to do your laundry on a Sunday, then forget it. All four washers are probably full again!


8. When you want to go shopping but your best option is the small

Okay so do you want to go to Rue 21 or TJ Maxx?

9. Finding a decent parking spot is impossible

Yes, I just walked half a mile from my car. No, there weren't any other spaces.

10. Trying to get to your class in A&S without being handed a million flyers

Yes, your event sounds very cool but I'm running late to class right now.


At the end of the day, we still love GCSU and are proud to call ourselves a bobcat despite some of its struggles.

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.
