A Letter To The Roomies: You're The Reason
Betsy Arce

You're the reason I'm excited to go back to school. Not the classes, not the professors, not the dining hall food, not the walks to class, not the Greek life. But you guys, wow, I'm pumped. I'm most excited to see you, live with you, come home to you, eat with you, love others with you and spend Friday nights with you. I cannot even begin to put into words my excitement. But here you go, I'll try.

You're the reason:

1. Decorating our house to make it a home is exciting.

2. Waking up for 8 a.m. classes will be bearable.

3. Going to the grocery store will be fun.

4. Studying will become a bit easier.

5. Study breaks will be even better (cue the dance parties).

6. Expanding my friend group will be possible.

7. Following your example will make me better.

8. Seeking true community will be a joy.

9. Putting on different clothes will be a little easier.

10. Going back to college will be worth it.


We're almost there and this will be the best year of college yet. There are so many months of joy, late nights, challenges and growth that are ahead of us. And I can't wait.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition."
