20 Moments of Pure Panic for College Students
Giphy

Everyone starts college thinking it will be the time of their life... taking classes you are actually interested in, hanging out with your friends all the time, picking your own schedule, living away from home, and having a lot more freedom. But let's be honest, there's a lot more to college than we initially thought, like tons of school work, sleep deprivation, not knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life, being constantly broke, and stress on stress on stress. Sometimes, it's even just the little things that will send us into full blown hysteria.

Here are 20 moments of pure panic all college students know.

1. Realizing you forgot about an assignment or a test.

2. Being locked out of your room after a shower wearing only a towel.

3. Trying to find your friends in the dining hall.

4. Having less than $10 in your account.

5. Trying to survive two broke weeks until pay day.

6. Forgetting to set your alarm.

7. Realizing you’re in the wrong class.

8. Walking into the wrong dorm room/suite.

9. Being asked “What do you want to do for the rest of your life?”

10. Being asked “Are you dating anyone?”

11. When your laptop dies as soon as your 2 ½ hour class begins/before saving an assignment.

12. Forgetting to set a timer for your laundry and remembering about it hours later.

13. Anytime anyone mentions “college loans.”

14. Thinking about how much you pay for tuition.

15. Having a class with that person you’ve been trying to avoid.

16. When your laptop completely sh*ts the bed.

17. Skipping one class one time and missing EVERYTHING.

18. Going out on Thursday even though you have an 8:30 a.m. on Friday.

19. When you thought it was Friday but it’s only Tuesday.

20. Saying you’ll start your assignment after one more episode of *something* on Netflix until it's 4 a.m. and you watched a whole season.

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.
