20 Struggles Of The New Semester

Whether you could not wait for winter break to be over or you were dreading returning to campus, every college student deals with the same few struggles that vary from mild annoyance to scream-into-my-pillow frustration when returning for spring semester.

The struggle begins even before classes start...

1. Having to get up early AF

*Hits snooze indefinitely*

2. Having to eat the dining hall mystery meat special

Here come the meat sweats!

3. The ongoing battle between looking presentable and sweatpants begins YET AGAIN

And comfort always wins. Always.

4. Being surrounded by people 24/7

For those of us that hate people, this may be the biggest struggle of all.

5. Reuniting with fake friends

"We definitely need to hang soon!" *Never speaks to that person again*

6. Feeling the endless joy that comes with being poor once again

Mom. Dad. Please, pay for everything.

7. Worrying about what you're going to do with your life

Major? Career?? Future??? Ahh!

8. Forgetting how much physical exertion is required to make your way around campus

No, just no.

9. Stressing about the stress you're going to be stressing about because of stress

Confused? So am I. That's why I'm stressed.


Then classes begin...

10. When the professor assumes you did the assignments/readings he/she posted on Moodle

Yeah, right.

11. Finding out that participation/attendance is 30 percent of the overall grade

Isn't everything online, anyway?

12. Seeing no one you know in your class

And of course, you can't even make new friends because everyone in there looks weird as hell.

13. The professor starts speaking with an accent

WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU SAYING?!

14. Having to do introductions to people you don't give a shit about

How am I supposed to come up with an interesting fact about myself when I'm not interesting in any way?

15. And then someone makes the mistake of sharing something WAY too personal

Random kid: I collect turtle figurines as long as they are not plastic.

Professor: What's wrong with plastic?

Random kid: I don't like the way it feels on my skin. (True story, btw.)

16. Getting pissed at your friend that told you the class was an easy A

Rocks for Jocks? More like sedimentary promontory for perspicacious geologists.


And once classes are finally over...

17. Having to do laundry

*Calls mom* "Mind if I stop by home this weekend?"

18. Feeling the need to work off the holiday cookies

Seriously, why does everyone look like they just walked off the set of America's Next Top Model?

19. Wishing you had a larger booze supply

Please, drink responsibly.

20. And finally, wanting to go out but BED

Me: I'm so sorry I'll never leave you again

Bed: ...

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
