6 Things College Students Say

"Where's the free pizza?"

When you're a college student, you probably expect yourself to say a lot of intelligent sounding gibberish that barely makes any sense to you. But there's also a few simple phrases that become quite common to your vocabulary.

1. "I'm broke!"

During college, there's plenty of reasons you'll have no money. Too often, you opted for those cheese fries from that sketchy fast food place instead of using your meal plan. You spend way to much money on your college's t-shirts, making your school spirit significantly outweigh your wallet. And you always seem to forget the hundreds of dollars you have to spend on overpriced textbooks each upcoming semester.

2. "I'm hungry!"

College puts a lot on your plate, both metaphorically and (thankfully) literally. There's plenty of food you can eat on campus, and you do eat it. But for some reason you're still always hungry. College students never stop eating. You, along with many other students flock to those boring meetings no one actually cares about because someone said there would be free pizza. Free food is the way to a college students heart.

3. "I'm busy!"

It's hard to find time for anything in college. With all those boring readings you have to do every night and all those projects you have to work on so you can pass a class will consume your life. You exaggerate, though. Sometimes, you'll spend more time complaining about how busy you are than actually working on finishing those things that made you busy in the first place.

4. "I'm lazy!"

There's times where you find yourself sleeping a little too long, making you lose hours to start that essay that's due at 2 PM. That one episode of that Netflix show you watch to help you "unwind" from a busy school day somehow turns into ten episodes and you really better hurry. But then it's the middle of the night and you told yourself you'd be done hours ago. Yet here you are, halfway asleep and not even close to halfway done with your homework.

5. "I'm tired!"

You love sleep. You take naps between classes, naps after classes, naps during classes. Seriously, it's frightening how much you want to sleep when the sun is still up. But it's not surprising considering all the time you spent watching Netflix last night. You keep telling yourself you'll go to sleep earlier but you never do. The loud neighbors you have in the dorm next to you don't help, either.

6. "I'm dying!"

College will kick your butt. You'll feel like you're dying a lot. When you have to pull those late-nighters, when you have to give that fifteen-minute presentation, when you fail a class. It happens.


Yeah, college has it's ups and downs. But that's all part of the roller coaster it is to getting your degree. It's all part of the amazing journey college will take you through. College is just as fun as it is challenging.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
