College: As Told By Friends
Metro News

The struggles of college are too real, no words are able to describe them. However, Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Joey do a perfect job of communicating college feels.

1. Trying to make new friends freshman year like:

You don't have your high school friends anymore to walk around with you 24/7 so now you actually have to find people to hangout with. Most of us haven't done this since kindergarten and it can get a little awkward.

2. Roommate Struggles are too real sometimes

Roommates are hard to handle sometimes. This random person that you are living with can be completely opposite from you. Having a roommate that likes the room hot at night when you like it cold can make you want to cry. After you've taken off every article of clothing you possibly can and still sweating.

3. You realize walking to classes in the winter is the worst thing ever.

In January when it's -2 degrees out and you have to walk to the farthest building across campus for class. This is the time when you start to miss high school and only having to walk to your car or the bus stop to get to class.

4. Finals week has you like:

Hour 14, 7th cup of coffee, and still (barely) surviving.

5. You try to sound smart in class by answering a question and immediately regret that decision after you speak.

You formulated a great answer in your head but when it comes out of your mouth you sounded like a 2-year-old speaking for the first time.

6. When you regret your decision to schedule all 8 am classes.

You think it's a great idea to schedule 8 a.m.s but as you get further into the semester you realize your brain is not meant to handle that kind of interaction that early in the morning.

7. Midnight binge eating while studying feels

Studying is going great because you've been stuffing your face with chips and queso for the past hour. If you stop now, you'll most likely fail. Keep shoving that food in.

8. When you just don't know what you want anymore.

You can't make simple decisions anymore. The end of the semester comes and you start to loose your mind. Do you want food, sleep, Netflix, shower, gym, or do more studying? Tough decision.

9.You just have overall bad days sometimes.

You spilled your coffee on yourself, failed a quiz, the printer was broken so you couldn't print the paper for class, and the food in the dining hall was just especially terrible. Everyone has a bad day, some might have a bad week, others a bad semester. It always gets better. Hang in there.

10. Your family starts to comment on the little bit of weight you gained after the semester.

Family gatherings usually result in people commenting on the extra weight you put on since the last time they saw you. You just have to love your few extra pounds and own it.

11. After a long night of partying or bar hopping, you're really not feeling well the next day but you're just like:

You went out to the bar and partied way to hard on a Wednesday night, but it was a blast so you get up, get some coffee and strut across campus.

12. When college is over and you're just so not ready

Everyone is trying to make you feel OK about graduating, but you're silently crying on the inside.

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.
