College will be some of the best and worst times of your lives. You will meet friends that will last a lifetime, accomplish things that you never thought you could, and learn what being stressed REALLY feels like. There are certain feelings that every college student can relate to, making it hard for others to truly understand us, but Parks and Recreation explains it perfectly.


1. The feeling you get when you have enough time to take a nap

2. The uncontrollable sadness you feel when a professor only gives you a week to write a paper that is half of your grade

3. Leaving your last class on a Friday

4. The pure excitement that overcomes you when you see free food

5. The sudden lack of motivation you have for exercising

6. Getting offered an extra job to make some cash

7. Getting the notification that one of your professors has canceled class

8. When you realize that you have to act like a responsible adult

9. When your parents take you out to dinner when you come home to visit

10. When you ace an exam that you thought you were going to fail

11. When one of your professors gives assignments over Spring Break

12. When you finally see the videos of the stupid things you did the night before

13. When your hometown best friend finds a new best friend from their college

14. The feeling of continuously second guessing your major

15. When your computer dies the night before a huge assignment is due

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
