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

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.
