6 College Struggles

College is like looking both ways before you cross the street and then getting hit by an airplane.

6 College Struggles

If you're a college student, you will relate to these struggles of our daily life; starting the day off by dragging yourself out of bed, and then being on the "struggle bus" the rest of the day, or week.

1. Always exhausted.

Whether you have an 8am, 9:30am, or 10am class, sometimes we just cannot get out of bed. We tend to sleep through our alarms, or we are too tired the night before to set an alarm.

2. Never having money.

We have the caf, The Lab, and Cat's Pause, but lemme tell ya, they get old. Suddenly, you're out of CP bucks and you can't use cash because you've spent it all on god knows what. Times like these make you miss your mom's home cooking.

3. Walking up hills.

Culver-Stockton College campus is not exactly an easy to place to walk. After all, it is called "The Hill." The hill coming from one of our dorm buildings is like Mount Everest, and you'll more times than not work up a sweat.

4. Staying in on the nights your friends are going out.

Sometimes, you just have too much to do, and it hurts to see everyone else having fun.

5. Trying to everything in a short period of time.

The has to be one of the worst struggles as a college student. We just physically cannot maintain a GPA, work a job, volunteer for sorority/fraternity events, eat healthy, have a social life, or even get the recommended amount of sleep.

6. Trying to write papers.

Sometimes the shortest papers are the hardest to write. We tend to push them off until the last minute.

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.
