The 6 Types of Stressed College Kids

We all handle stress differently.

The 6 Types of Stressed College Kids

Well here we are: finals week. The stress of the end of the year, turning in last minute assignments (we all do it), frantically studying for that final you have in 6 hours, and trying to figure out your plans for the summer. So most college students (who are 75 percent panic, 15 percent productivity, and 5 percent coffee at this point) succumb to stress. And there are several types of stressed students.

1. The one that spends 12+ hours at the library

After hour 10 they probably aren't retaining any new information, but if it makes them feel better it's probably best to just let them be.

2. The one that takes naps everywhere. And I mean everywhere.

Taking a nap on the table outside the library cannot be comfortable. But you do you, man.

3. That one kid who will burst into tears if you mention anything to do with class, work, life, family, or time.

Innocent human: "Hey Jenny you want to go on a walk?"

Jenny: "WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK THAT?" *cue uncontrollable sobbing*


4. The one that only looks up pictures of baby animals.

I will not apologize for the 25 Snapchats of baby hippos with their tongues sticking out.

5. The one that cleans everything in sight.

It makes them feel productive without actually having to do anything school-related. But I'm not about to complain about a spotless kitchen.

6. The one that is eerily calm.

For some reason the stress of finals doesn't get to them and they have a calm about them that infuriates the rest of us.

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
