We're all a little different, but we can agree on these sentiments.
Exhausted, broke, and confused.
1. I’m so broke.
Waiting for your next pay period is almost as bad as waiting for your real period. You’re forced to skimp on food (or just mooch off your friends), you steal toilet paper from various locations around campus (justification: “I pay this school enough money, the least they can do is “give” me some TP, for God’s sake.”) Splurging for you is ordering a Venti at Starbucks. Honestly, that’s the best $4.75 you’ll ever spend.
2. Maybe I’ll look cute today.
But then your alarm goes off and you’re all “nah I’ll just throw something on so I can sleep longer.” It’s the thought that counts, right?
3. What am I doing with my life?
All your friends talk about their “life plan” and magically know what their doing in the next twenty years. Meanwhile you’re just chillin’ with your $4 quesadilla (but hey, that’s in your “I’m so broke” budget). You tell yourself not knowing what’s in store for you is exciting, but really you’re scared and just want someone to tell you what to do with the rest of your life. Is that too much to ask?
4. Seriously, I don’t even know what kind of job I can get with my major.
…But, you’re already a senior so changing your major now would only mean more debt (“I’m so broke” just keeps making an appearance).
5. I’m changing my major.
Remember when you visited different colleges and each peppy tour guide told you how easy it was to change your major. Every college twenty something knows, that’s a big fat lie. Changing your major is the equivalent to walking the wrong way in a large crowd. You feel lost, misdirected and a little claustrophobic.
6. I’m never graduating.
Leaving the cushy walls of your university to be eaten alive by the real world (I’m not talking about the one with seven strangers living in a house) is the last thing you want to do. It can’t be time to learn how to do taxes and parallel park, it just can’t be!
7. I’m so tired.
All day. Every day. Regardless of how many naps you take you constantly fall asleep in class and feel “literally dead.” Maybe it’s all those nights out? Nah, it can’t be.
8. What can I eat that’s filling? But also cheap? But also semi healthy?
The answer is nothing. So you end up eating Oreos, spoonfuls of peanut butter and some fruit you stole from the dining hall. Well balanced, nutritious and cheap, check!
9. I have so much work to do.
But procrastination is your middle name. Your room will be cleaned, your laundry will be done, and you will have called your whole family before starting all that work.
10. I need to be more active.
You start to think “maybe I’m so tired because I don’t workout.” This new health kick sticks for a week maybe two, but Netflix will get the best of you. It always does.
