11 'Totally Not Awesome Sauce' College Things, As Told By Andy Dwyer

In This Article:

While going to college and being a college student is so rewarding, there are definitely some parts of the experience that aren't the best. Whether it happens in the classroom, the dining hall, or your dorm, it can be a hassle to deal with these things. Here are some annoying experiences, illustrated through our favorite shoeshiner and FBI agent, Andy Dwyer.

1. Feeling pressured to have everything about your life figured out immediately after graduation

Giphy

Especially during your senior year.

2. Having to walk what feels like several miles to get to your parked car

It seems like every time you want to go out to your car, the buses aren't running so you're forced to walk.

3. The temperamental university wifi connection

Giphy

The internet is essential to doing any kind of homework, so it's frustrating when it doesn't work properly.

4. Getting tired of eating the same things on campus

There's not much you can do without a kitchen.

5. Wondering if you need a job to support yourself during the semester

Giphy

Between tuition payments, runs to the grocery store, and nights out with friends, your bank account balance will inevitably dwindle.

6. Getting down to the laundry room with your clothes only to discover that there are no available washers

Then you have to decide if you're going to haul everything back up to your room or wait for a machine to open.

7. Taking a class in which you feel like you’re not learning anything

Giphy

Waste of time, waste of money, and makes you hate your life.

8. Trying to make some different foods in your dorm besides easy mac

Practically everything eaten out of a dorm room has to go in a microwave at one point or another.

9. Trying to talk to professors outside of class can be a headache

Giphy

Profs say that they're always available but then don't reply to their emails… hmmm.

10. When one bad grade wrecks your GPA

Tenor

It's so devastating to see your hard work taken down by one bad grade.

11. Not having sufficient time to eat between classes

You either starve or shove snacks in your face during the lecture.

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.
