College Struggles, As Told By Ellen DeGeneres

Some of her funniest moments are more than relevant to our daily college struggles.

College Struggles, As Told By Ellen DeGeneres

College can be the BEST four years of your life, but let me reiterate that it can be a struggle at times. You are finally free and independent, it's time to live it up. It's also time to cry in a corner from all the stress.

Ellen speaks the truth 24/7, and if you're not utterly obsessed with her, then I am judging you. On another note, as I've come to realize some of her funniest moments are so relevant to so many of our "the struggle is real" college moments. Enjoy.

1. When this is what you like to tell yourself, but you try to make it thru one day without the addictive drink, and it is an absolute fail:


2. When you decide to wear a "Groutfit" (all grey everything) to class because you don't want everyone to fall in love with you -- or you're just the laziest human being alive. YEAH, THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT:


3. When stress eating becomes a social norm. Eating an entire pizza by yourself while binge watching Netflix is completely necessary sometimes. #SorryNotSorry:


4. When you attempt to rationalize why you should get points back on a test to a professor (thank you Google):


5. When you're broke and you jump for joy when your parents send you some money in the mail. (It's gone in a week BECAUSE FOOD):


6. When the professor is trying to have a confusing lecture on a Monday morning:


7. When your professor says "POP READING QUIZ" and you're just like CAN WE NOT:


8. When your professors all decide to ruin your life by assigning a group project, tests, papers -- ALL DUE AT THE SAME TIME. Yes, they want us dead:


9. When you're so stressed out and confused about what your life even is at the moment that you just have to laugh. BUT THEN YOU START BAWLING THE NEXT MINUTE:


10. When you realize that you have three tests in the same week, and you know absolutely nothing:

Oh.... YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.

Now there is a totally logical explanation for procrastination. You heard it from Ellen, so it must be true!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
