A College Student's Summer As Told by "Friends"

Summertime is arguably the best season of the year, especially when you're a college student. All those sleepless nights writing papers can be made up when you get to delete all the alarms off of your phone. You can start working on not being so pale and catch up with your friends and family at home. Oh, and you can finally start earning some money instead of spending it.

1. You get together with your friends from home and they ask you how you've been.

But other than that I'm good. Really.

2.You go on a job interview and they say, "Tell us about yourself."

Anything to help you stand out among all the other applicants.

3. When you finally get your first pay check.


Now the real question becomes do I put it in the bank, or go shopping?

4. Only to open it and find it's for way less than you thought it would be.

I guess that shopping spree will have to a lot smaller than I planned.

5. And all your friends keep asking you to go out and do things, but your bank account has a grand total of $7.80.

Guys, I really do want to see you, but can't we do something that's free?

6. So you're forced to ask yourself:

Friends.

Friends that pay for your coffee...?

7. You go to the beach with your skinny mini friends and you're just like.

Abs are great and all, but so is pizza and ice cream. And let's be real, what's summer without ice cream?

8. You come home from a long day at work dealing with people and your parents just look at you and say.

For some reason, I don't believe you, mom.

9 . When you see that girl you hated from high school and you try and hide behind your phone, but she comes up to you anyway is all "Oh my god! Hi! It's Me!" And you pretend you don't know her and have to change your name in ten seconds or less.

We all have that one person you just have to avoid when you go home for the summer.

10. You finally have a day off, but all your friends are at work and you have nothing to do.

What else was I supposed to do all day?

11. You spend a day on the beach and finally get a tan.

Finally, people will be able to tell where my white dress ends and my leg begins.

12. Your parents ask you what you want for dinner tonight.

None of this salad for dinner crap. I want a pizza to the face.

13. You get ready for your date with Netflix.

Your binge-watching days can get serious during the summer. And the best part is Netflix doesn't care how you look.

14. And you realize June is going by way too fast.

Summer, don't you realize how hard we worked to get here? You need to slow down.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
