College is great, but it has its downfalls.

The 10 Worst Parts Of College

Let me start out by saying I love college, and I absolutely love University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. That being said, college isn't perfect. There are some parts of college that aren't exactly ideal. Here are the 10 worst parts of college.

1. Studying

This one is a no-brainer. Studying and doing school work is not exactly a good time. College students spend hours upon hours dedicated to their studies. Obviously this is the point of college, but that doesn't make it any more enjoyable.

2. The Food

At first, college cafeteria food is tasty and exciting. As time goes on, the choices become unappealing and less than delicious. I will say that the unlimited ice cream is a plus though!

3. 8 A.M. Classes

In high school, going to class at 8 in the morning was the norm. Once you get to college, 8 am seems like the crack of dawn. If you mention to any other college student that you have an 8 am class, there will be instant sympathy.

4. Small Dorm Rooms

When you go to college, you get put in what feels like small box with another person to share for a year. Roommates are one of the best parts of college, but the lack of space is honestly one of the worst.

5. The Cost

This is the worst part about college in my opinion. You pay thousands and thousands of dollars, which means you need to work on top of your studies. This can be incredibly overwhelming.

6. Exhaustion

No matter how much sleep you get, you are always tired. it seems like your body is never fully rested, and you become dependent on a daily nap time.

7. Professors that don't update your grades

Not knowing where you are at in your classes is incredibly stressful and nerve-wrecking. There are many professors that don't update your grades so you aren't sure how you're doing. This is the worst!

8. Walking to class in the winter

You have to literally wear five layers just to keep from getting frost bite from one building to the other. Not only that, but class is hardly ever cancelled when it's cold, so even when it's 30 below, you better bundle up and get going.

9. Paying to do laundry

You're already poor from paying tuition, and you are still expected to pay to wash your clothes. This causes you to push off your laundry for as long as your clean underwear supply lasts.

10. The constant feeling that you have no idea what you are doing

Everyone feels this way. Even the people that seem to have it figured out. Quite honestly, I don't think it even ends after college is over.

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.
