8 Things Every College Student Absolutely Despises

1. Class on Fridays

After a fun night out with your friends on Thursday (if you go out on Thursdays), no one really wants to wake up for their classes on Friday. Actually, no one wants to go to class on Friday in general. It should be illegal to have classes on Friday's in college. Agreed? Agreed.

2. Laundry days

Whether you live in the dorms, apartment or house, every college student hates doing laundry. Throwing it back to freshman year of college, waiting for a washing machine/dryer in the dorms to be available and worrying if someone was going to steal your new pair of Lulu leggings. Laundry days are the worst.

3. Drowning in homework

It's a never ending cycle of homework. Just when you think you finished all of your assignments, the following week piles more on your plate. Sometimes you're even trying to catch up from last week's reading assignments because it's just too much information. If high school seniors think they have it bad with homework and college applications, just wait until they're actually in college.

4. Mandatory attendance

Let's face it: no matter what time you have a class, it's so hard to get up and leave. It's hard to find motivation as a college student who hardly gets any sleep. It's even worse when attendance is 20% of your grade.

5. Assignments over holidays

Take spring break for example. We all want to have fun and enjoy a week away from school. Getting assignments and exams to study for over the break? Yeah, it completely defeats the purpose of going on a break.

6. Being broke

It's hard to save money when all of your friends want to go out on fun adventures. Paying for Ubers is also hard when no one wants to split the ride with you. We all tell ourselves every day, "Omg I'm sooooo broke" as we continue to online shop and sip on coffee we didn't actually need.

7. When the Starbucks line is long

When there are 10 people in front of you waiting for their drinks and you have an assignment due at 11:59, the long lines can stress you out more. Not to mention, when people don't know their orders.

8. When all the tables at the main library are taken

If you're not at the library earlier than 3 P.M on a Sunday, you're going to have a bad time. The first to third floors of the library are always full, so if you're wanting to focus and get homework done, get there before everyone else.

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.

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

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.
