12 Ways Drake And Josh Taught Me How To Survive College

Drake and Josh first aired in 2004, but 12 years later I still find myself thinking 'What would Drake and Josh do?'. Their crazy antics have helped me handle college life in ways that high school never prepared me for. So here's a list of great tips from Drake and Josh to help survive college.

1. Always take free food.

We're broke college students, we can rarely afford such luxuries like food. So if someone offers to buy/give you food, don't ever question it.

2. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

In college, there is a lot of information thrown at you all at once. And then there's a quiz the next day. So don't be afraid to ask questions, even if they are stupid.

3. Self-confidence is a must.

College is really just a test to see who can handle the most stress in their life. You have really got to believe yourself to get through all of the rough parts, especially finals week.

4. When you're finishing an essay, just repeat the same thing in different words.

When you have to meet the word count, it's really the only option. Your professor probably won't even notice.

5. Practice your presentations before giving them.

Don't become a nervous mess the day of the presentation. Practice really does make perfect...or at least less sweaty.

6. College is one big headache.

No matter how hard you try, something is always going to end up going wrong. Always have Advil on hand.

7. It's okay to make mistakes.

You are in college to learn, you're bound to make a few mistakes along the way. Don't freak out though, you will always find a way to get through, even if it takes some time.

8. It's important to have people you can look up to.

When you're feeling low, it's good to remember your idols and if they did it, then you can do.

9. Part-time jobs suck.

Paying for school is rough, and sometimes you just have to get a part-time job. It's never the most glamorous job in the world, but money is money.

10. You're an adult now, nobody tells you what to do.

Except sometimes you are going to need your mom's help because the real world is incredibly scary.

11. You're not going to like every professor you have.


Sites like Rate My Professor are great for finding the right professor for you, but they don't completely ensure that you will be happy in the class. Just make the most of the semester and don't let the professor get the best of you.

12. Family isn't always blood.

In college, family is whoever is there for you. College is tough, and you definitely need a strong support system.

So as you spend the rest of the semester struggling to get by, just think if Drake and Josh and hopefully everything will be okay.

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.
