Real Life College Struggles Known To Be True As Told By 'Shameless'
TV Guide

It's no secret that Showtime's "Shameless" has taken over the television industry. It's easily one of the most messed up shows but that's probably why it's so addicting. The name of the show truly does speak for itself. The series follows the chronicles of a South Side family just trying to get by with a long list of unfortunate events that occur along the way.

With all the highs and lows, screw-ups, hook-ups and financial struggle it low-key relates to your average college student— but hopefully not to the full "Shameless" extent:

1. Having less than $5 in your bank account which calls for desperate measures.

2. When you're low on money and need a "loan" from mom or dad.



3. Being told to get your act together.


4. Questioning whether torturing yourself for this degree is worth it.

5. That moment you really contemplate dropping out.

6. But then you remember where that one piece of paper will get you in life.

7. You question yourself for various reasons.

8. Anxiety, insomnia and mental breakdowns are a regular thing.

9. Realizing you need a 103% on your next exam to keep your B- somehow.

10. Not comprehending one thing from that hour and a half lecture.



11. Being lectured on ethics but your professor doesn't practice what they preach.


12. When your friend does the deed and you want the details.



13. You would nap anywhere if given the opportunity.

14. When booze becomes your shameful best friend.

15. It might be gross but you know cheap alcohol will ultimately get the job done.

16. Not remembering to submit something online.

17. Late night munchies might haunt you later on but it's just so freaking worth it.

18. When the GroupMe blows up while you're trying to nap.

19. Or when your GroupMe reminds you of all the poor decisions you made the night before.

20. But going through your camera roll or snapchat story only to high-key have no regrets.

21. When your parents ask you how you been.


22. Or when your parents ask about your grades.....

23. When you find a quizlet for a class that seems everything but possible to pass.

24. When your professor takes forever to email you back.


25. Did I mention your alcoholism?

26. When things get rough your friends have the perfect solution to cheer you up.

27. Getting caught up in your feels in today's society.

28. When people just really push your buttons and you want to avoid them at all costs.

Whether you want to admit it or not, everyone has had their fair share of moments— both shameful and shameless. It happens. It's OK. These people get it and aren't judging you. I mean hey, you're clearly doing something OK in life since you're not Frank Gallagher, right?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
