A College Student's "April"

Finals and projects and deadlines, oh my.

A College Student's "April"

Ahhhh, April. The weather is getting warmer, the quads are rapidly filling up with students trying to rid of their paleness, and summer is just around the corner. Sounds pretty perfect, right? Nope. April usually entails a boat-load of final papers, group projects that are being procrastinated, and unfortunately final exams. Yup, April doesn't seem so nice after all now, does it? For all the college students out there, you're not alone. We will all fail miserably this month together. April usually goes something like this..

The first time the temperature hits 70 degrees and you're like:

So you can finally sport the side of your wardrobe that has gone incognito for months.

But then two of your professors assign you research or final papers. Vibe killer.

Somehow you think you have it all under control, but then a group project is assigned.

On top of that study guides for final exams are now being handed out.

And then you remember that you're a broke college student who needs a summer job.

And at this point in the game, you're pretty desperate and will work anywhere.

Now your Spring weekend is around the corner, and you just wanna live.

And somehow, always, everybody except you are able to go out and you're constantly reminded through social media.


So you start stress eating because.. why not.

Then because of all the fit people around you, you face the sad realization that your summer bod is non-existent.

And with worrying about these past two things, you somehow forgot that all your assignments are due in two days.

And so all of your nights start to look like this:

And your attitude becomes a little something like this:

But hey, eventually it somehow became May and you're finally donezo.

*Girl on the right.. relatable*

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
