They say college is supposed to be the best years of our lives, but nobody told me about the annoying or the extremely relatable occurrences that my fellow peers and I will ensue. My favorite "Rick and Morty" episode “Meeseeks and Destroy” is chock full of moments that accurately represent the how it feels to experience these inevitable incidences.

Here are 13 ways the character, Mr. Meeseeks, describes the emotions every college student feels during these commonly shared moments that happen during their academic careers.

1. 8 a.m. classes.

You may think you can handle them, but you can't. I'm letting you know right now, you can't.

2. Your bank account after spending hundreds of dollars on textbooks.

*Poof* goes the money. When did I suddenly have negative four dollars??

3. When you have to pass a gen-ed class that has no relation to your major whatsoever.

I don't want to take math classes...I'm a journalism major??? But I mean, I need that A so I guess I'll put effort into it.

4. When you have a group project, a presentation, three exams, and nine homework assignments due, all within a week.

Add in a part-time job and you're bound to just....cry. A lot.

5. And then the mental break-down hits.

Seriously, when I have so much going on I hardly have time to eat, let alone do anything fun, you're mental state dwindles to nearly nothing.

6. When it's finally the weekend.

Hallelujah! I don't have to set an alarm and I can stay in bed until three o'clock if I want.

7. Posting pictures on Instagram with your friends, hoping for a bunch of likes.

"We look so cute! What should my caption be?"

8. Getting to meet new friends when you go out to the bars.

Those girls who stand next to you in line for the club or the bathroom, they're your best friends now. Until you leave and never see them again.

9. When you get ghosted after a Tinder date.

Or if you're the ghost-er I guess this could relate to you too.

10. That e-mail from your teacher saying their canceling class.

*Rolls back over and sleeps for another hour*

11. Forgetting you had an assignment due at midnight.

We've all been there, the "moment of realization."

12. That ONE teacher that won't curve tests or your final grade.


I feel like this gif accurately represents what it's like to be near failing in a class with a teacher that doesn't curve final grades.

13. But once it's a break and you get to go home to your friends and family...

My own bed, my own shower, home-cooked meals, and my cat!!! Oh, how I've missed you. College who?

I don't know about you, but Mr. Meeseeks sums my thoughts and feelings about college perfectly.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
