10 Things That Give College Students Anxiety

1. When the Uber arrives but no one is ready.

2. Trying to find a parking spot on campus.

Class starts in 2 minutes, there is no where to park, and it takes a least 15 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the class... looks like I'm going home!

3. Thinking about doing the work for your online class but never actually doing it.

4. When you arrive at a party before 11 p.m.


It's only 10:30? It's too early to go anywhere we have to take six more shots.

5. When there is .43 cents in your bank account but you NEED a coffee.

Ballin on a budget or lack thereof. Plus, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is seasonal so you only have a limited time to get it! *overdraws bank account -$4.57*

6. Waking up in the morning after drinking and seeing that over 100 people watched you throw up in someone's garden on your Snapchat story.

Should I even delete it? Is the damage already done? My mom saw this!?

7. When you go to sleep at 2 a.m. because you were googling the origin of chicken nuggets but have class at 8 a.m.

This is based on a true story.

8. Textbooks, in general.

Do I actually buy it? Should I look for an online PDF version? IT COSTS 250 DOLLARS!?

9. Dating apps, mostly bumble.

Yeah I swiped right but do I actually message him? I only have 27 minutes left?! Why hasn't he extended his "connection"? If he really liked me he would've extended his time. Dick.

10. When you have a test on Thursday but yesterday was "Wine Wednesday" and you didn't study.

In conclusion, anxiety in college is inevitable, especially if you care about your GPA... and you drink a lot. By balancing your vodka to studying ratio, some of that anxiety can be alleviated. College is hard but it is also supposed to be fun. Don't let it get to you! Whether it be late night google sessions or poor choices during a night out, this is your time to live and learn.

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.
