9 Things You'll Find On The Desk Of EVERY College Girl In America

Regardless of what college campus we live on, and where we live on that college campus, our desk is one of the most important parts of our daily lives. We study and do homework at our desk, we scroll through Facebook at our desk, and sometimes we even end up eating dinner and watching TV at our desk. Every college girl has at least some of these things on her desk at any given time:

1. A day old cup of coffee

It's no secret that college students thrive on coffee, but sometimes we fall asleep doing homework and wake up to a cold, half-finished cup of coffee on our desk.

2. Multiple colored pens

Colored pens and highlighters make taking notes and filling out our planner much less mundane, so we always keep a bunch of them strewn across our desk.

3. A tape dispenser with no tape (and maybe also a stapler with no staples)

4. A laptop covered in Redbubble stickers

You can't go anywhere on a college campus without seeing a MacBook covered in stickers. Whenever we aren't using our precious MacBooks, they're charging on our desks.

5. Pictures of friends from home

On the day of our high school graduation, we all spent hours framing pictures of our friends and family. Now they sit on the shelf above our desk reminding us of where we came from.

6. Emergen-C

No matter how attached we are to our planners, sometimes a to-do list can be nice to help us prioritize our day. College girls everywhere keep a to-do list on their desk to help them get through the day.

7. An ungodly amount of sticky notes


8. A to-do list

No matter how attached we are to our planners, sometimes a to-do list can be nice to help us prioritize our day. College girls everywhere keep a to-do list on their desk to help them get through the day.

9. A stack of books we'd like to read this semester (But probably won't get around to)

Reading in our free time sounds nice and relaxing but unfortunately, college doesn't always allow for a lot of free time. Maybe if we leave them out on our desk for long enough they'll eventually get read.

College can be exhausting, overwhelming, and stressful, but at the end of the day, we really all living the same lives on different campuses and in different dorms.

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:

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.
