24 Times The Little Things In College Caused A Mental Breakdown
Giphy

With it being mid-April and finals are a few short days away, tensions are high, patience is low, and we're all starting to collectively freak out.

I don't know about you, but when I'm stressed, it's the little things that go wrong that make it feel like the world is ending. In college, that apocalyptic feeling is intensified tenfold, but then, of course, you're so busy, you don't even have time to actually have a mental breakdown... *Commences breathing exercise in an attempt to calm down.*

1. When you can't find the one ponytail holder that's always somehow on your wrist


2. When you almost fall in the middle of the Drill Field

3. When you live in the South and someone doesn't hold the door open for you/doesn't say thank you when you do

4. When Einstein's runs out of your bagel of choice

5. When the Union's CFA runs out of EVERYTHING

6. When you have that test tomorrow and you don't even know what class it's in

7. When you have 2 dollars exactly in your bank account and your Cookout order total is $2.57

8. When you have class in 5 minutes and it takes 7 to get across campus

9. When someone asks "How are things going?"

10. When you see a service dog and can't pet it because "It's on the job"

11. When you're so low on sleep that coffee just isn't enough anymore

12. When yet ANOTHER boy asks you to do the thing, THE THING.

13. When you don't have enough sauce for your nuggets

14. When you don't have enough money for nuggets at all

15. When you're the short one and everyone is taller than you

16. When you just want to be at the beach but "College is more important"

17. When your professor changes the slide before you were done writing

18. When you don't get "the wave" when you let someone in during heavy traffic

19. When it's warm out but you can't wear sandals because it's a lab day and they want all of your extremities covered

20. When the tea isn't sweet enough

21. When you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear

22. When you get to the bottom of your junk food

23. When you almost got run over on campus AGAIN

24. When you live in MS and you have to get across campus but forgot to put deodorant

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.

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.
