5 Quotes That Accurately Depict Being In College

College is such an interesting time. You are in class most likely for less hours per week than you were in high school. Yet, despite this, it seems you have more to do than ever before. All the time you thought you had seems to rapidly disappear. Here are five quotes from celebrities as well as TV characters that are quite accurate when it comes to college.

"The most useful thing I've learned in college so far is how to quiet my breathing so no one realizes how much I struggle walking up a flight of stairs" -Unknown

Seriously. There are stairs everywhere. You may decide to be "active" and opt for the stairs instead of the elevator. However, after several flights and coming from outside, especially in the heat of August, you may regret your decision.

"Nothing good happens after 2:00 am… when 2:00 am rolls around, just go home and go to sleep.— Ted Mosby, How I Met Your Mother

There are fun nights that do happen where nights turn into early morning, but when it is a school night like Ted Mosby said it is time to go home!

College inspired me to think differently. It’s like no other time in your life.– Larisa Oleynik

College is most people's first time in an environment that resembles the real world. Have fun, make memories, take the time to learn your true interests and more about them.

The future is scary but you can't just run back to the past because it's familiar.— Robin Scherbatsky, How I Met Your Mother

College is a time of new beginnings and adjustments. Everyone does not and will not adapt at the same pace. However, even if you are struggling to adapt know that you can and you will. College has the potential to change your life but only if you stick around to get yourself used to it.

"Do not be afraid to ask for help. Nobody gets through college on their own."– Michelle Obama

I am ending on a more serious note. College is so different than what you have experienced in life thus far. Make sure to have people that can help you through it. It does not matter if it is family, friends, or trained professionals, know who you can talk to in confidence and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
