The Life Of A College Student

As told by Nick Miller

The Life Of A College Student

College is such a great time. You are broke, you barley get any sleep, your life is consumed with pulling all-nighters and forgetting about quizzes, and your diet consists of vodka and Ramen. Nick Miller accurately describes the life of a college student.

When one of your friends gets engaged:


We have all been there. We want to be happy, but we are jealous, but we are happy, but we are crying.

When you're the DD at the party, but your friends want you to get up and dance:

When you're in a boring class:

When your crush likes your Instagram post:

Don't lie, you do the same thing.

Reading your friends' Happy Birthday posts:

When you're really feeling your outfit, but your friends tell you that you look stupid:

But you don't care, because you feel hot to trot!

Using your fake ID at the bar:

When you yell at your friend, but they love you anyway:

We have all been there -- after a long night, we snap at our friend, but they don't take it to heart and they love us anyway.

When you didn't study for your quiz, but your friend did:

When you actually dress up for class and everyone asks you why:

Duh...

When your parents ask why the money they gave you for groceries was spent at the liquor store:

Uhhhhh, well... I can explain...

When a cutie buys you a drink at the bar:

When you have a presentation, and you go into the bathroom to give yourself a last minute pep talk:

When your parents ask why you're failing biology:

When your crush winks at you:

And you're awkward and do the first thing that comes to mind.

When you go to your professor's office hours:

Coming back from Spring Break:

And getting your paper back from that Monday.

When you're at the party, but your mom calls:

Going out on a Thursday night when you have an 8 a.m. on Friday morning:

And I'm sure it will happen again next week.

Waking up after a night out and drinking all of the water in the Brita filter:

When you finally get enough courage to go talk to your crush:

When you meet up with that Tinder match:

And they turn out to be the weirdest person you've ever met.

Reading your drunk texts from the night before...

Going home and having a real meal for the first time in months:

Watching two seasons of "Grey's Anatomy" in one day:

Asking yourself why you would put yourself through a week long all-nighter for finals:

Getting your grades back at the end of the semester, and knowing your hard work paid off:

College can be tough, and sometimes can seem like it's more trouble than it's worth, but hang in there!

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.

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?

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.
