11 Times Spring Allergies Ruin Lives, And I Can't Stress This Enough

In This Article:

When spring rolls around, it's not even worth it to go outside anymore. Seasonal allergies make springtime completely unenjoyable. If you're someone who is legitimately allergic to everything, this one is for you.

1. The morning sneeze attack 

Counting how many times you sneeze in a row is a competition you have with yourself daily

2. Itchy eyes

When you drown your eyes in water because they are so itchy you're convinced there is pollen in them.

3. The sniffles

In a silent room you can always tell who has seasonal allergies.

4. Having to explain your allergies

Spring allergies, and I cannot stress this enough, ruin lives.

2. The sneeze attack in public

When you can't stop sneezing in public and all eyes are on you.

6. Hives

There's nothing like trying to enjoy the great outdoors...only to break out in hives.

7. Becoming a tissue connoisseur  

Making sure there is a tissue in every bag and jacket pocket is essential to survive allergy season.

8. When you're friends ask you if you're sick

"I swear I'm not going to get you sick it's just allergies."

9. Religiously taking allergy medicine

Even though the meds don't usually help, it's the thought that counts.

10. Benadryl 

There are just days you simply cannot live without Benadyrl. Hush, hush allergies, it's time for you to go to sleep.

11. Hating spring

There's just no way someone with seasonal allergies can enjoy spring. It's too painful.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes.

Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
