8 Quotes That Accurately Describe College Life

Do you ever scroll through your Twitter feed, Facebook timeline, or Instagram feed and read a post that totally matches your feelings?

Here are 8 perfect quotes that describe college life.


1. "I can't decide if I need a hug, an extra large coffee, six shots of vodka, or two weeks of sleep."

There have been many days that have lasted 24+ hours and you literally have to ask yourself whether you need some type of physical comfort, hard liquor, three shots of espresso, or hibernation.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

2. "I got 99 problems and 97 of them are due at the end of the week."

Deadlines are the devil. Also, professors don't give a rat's behind if you already have eight midterms, a thesis, and a practical due that week.

My advice is to make sure that you know time management. Learn what works best for you and go with it.

3. "High school was so 'judgy,' but, in college, you see someone riding past on a Razor scooter, wearing a Snuggie, and it's like, 'That is a smart man.'"

There were always those people who got picked on in school for not having Hollister pants, American Eagle polo shirts, or Sperry's to wear like the "cool" kids.

College is where you find yourself being jealous of the guy who wears a banana suit to class because it looks so dang comfortable!

4. "Remember playing Mario Kart and thinking that you were in first place, then realizing that you were looking at the wrong screen and crashing into walls? That's college."

A mental breakdown (or 10) around midterm and finals weeks, is allotted! Just know that you can only rise up from rock bottom!

5. "College is like looking both ways before crossing the street and getting hit by an airplane."

Take online classes, for example. You think that you have the week off to study for a very important exam.

Wrong! You forgot that you had three assignments, two tests, and a quiz due in your online anthropology class (Until you drop the class! All is then good in the world again).

6. "When you have 15 essays, four assignments, and six exams to study for and you just chill in bed re-watching season seven of Grey's Anatomy for the 16th time. . ."

Homework due dates come and go, but Netflix is forever! Never forget this!

7. "College is easy. It's like riding a bike. . . except the bike is on fire, you're on fire, and everything is on fire because you're actually in Hell."

This explains itself.

8. "Remember in sixth grade and getting a 90 on a test and feeling good? Instead, in college, tears of joy stream down my face, as I climb to the top of the Empire State Building, singing, 'Let's Dance to Joy Division.' God Bless America!"

Getting an A on one test in college is like graduating high school after four years with a 3.5 GPA, literally!

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.
