12 Relatable Struggles We All Have In College

Because it happens to the best of us...

12 Relatable Struggles We All Have In College
Emerson Preparatory School

College is some of the best years of our lives but it also really forces us to grow up and we will have to make sacrifices...like good home-cooked meals or your mom doing your laundry for you. Good thing we are all going through it together.

1. When you don't check your emails and get up and get ready for class just to see the sign on the door saying it was cancelled. And at that point it's your own fault but it's so annoying.


2. Wanting to get in shape and go to the gym but really not feeling it at all. Procrastination is what we're best at.


3. When all of your friends want to go out to eat and you have to be like...


4. Experiencing a professor from hell. We've all been there before.


5. Always questioning why you're so tired and then remembering you haven't been sleeping. And for like no reason at all.


6. Wearing the same clothes for two weeks just because laundry takes time, money and effort. And we can't afford to waste all three of those things.


7. Losing documents or your computer crashing or things just aren't working out. The worst.


8. Missing your family back at home while you're away. Because they are sometimes annoying but we love them to death.


9. Missing your pets while you're away. Because of course...they are our everything.


10. Not having any money for anything. Ever...the term 'broke college student' has never been more relatable!


11. Not being sure whether to cry or scream or all of the above. Because it happens to the best of us.


12. Not having mom around. Because whether it be that we're sick or just need her for anything, not having her around just sucks.

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.
