10 Struggles of College Life
Pintrest

Everyone has those days when literally nothing goes right. Those days when you're sitting there thinking, what else can I get punched in the face with today huh?

Well I don't know about you guys, but I personally have moments when I feel like that pretty much everyday. It's not because I deserve it or because anyone deserves it, but because were going through this thing called college, and it can be kinda a struggle. Here's just a few of them.

1. Snoozing your alarm approximately 17 times before waking up 10 minutes after your class started.

Well hey, in my dream I was 100% certain that I didn't need to wake up so thats what happened.

2. When you think about how nice you used to dress in high school as you put on the same t-shirt you wore yesterday.

No one will ever know but your roommates.

3. When you see your reflection in a window and you wonder if you always look so miserable and mean.

I saw myself in a bus window and it looked like I wanted to murder someone. Yes, thats just my face, but no, I don't like you either.

4. Just trying to get to class on time and wiping out instead.

Everyone takes a tumble sometimes. If someone says they haven't, it's just because no one saw.

5. Wanting to dart your pencil across the table when someone sits across from you at your library table and won't stop making noises.

Are my dirty looks not giving this dude a hint?

6. Doing everything in the world except for the stuff you need to do.

I'm just going to organize my underwear drawer, wash the dishes, go for a 5 mile run, call my grandma, lay on the floor for 10 minutes, and then study.

7. Facetiming your family and starting to tear up when you see your dog.

Never been so jealous of my little sister than seeing her with my dog.

8. When you try to cook yourself dinner and realize you have no clue what you're doing.

"Mom, how does one cook a piece a chicken?"

9. Accidentally watching an entire season of a Netflix show while eating a box of mac and cheese.

I don't know why I am saying this is a struggle, its actually great and I highly suggest it.

10. Having a meltdown and being very overly dramatic.

Just let it out, you'll pull it together tomorrow or something.

So there ya have it.. adulting and being in college can really be quite the struggle. But its not the end of the world when you have a mental breakdown and eat a whole box of pizza. We all love college and were all going to make it out alive. So I guess we will figure it out one of these days.

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.
