Struggles of a College Student

Second Semester As Told By Family Guy

College is really tough. First semester is hard enough because you've been off for three months for the summer, but second semester is definitely harder. We had only one month off of school, which is basically a tease. Right when you get used to waking up late and the freedom of having no classes or homework, it's time to go back to school. Waking up at 8 AM after a month off for Christmas break really isn't my cup of tea. It was hard enough leaving my family and friends back home, and now I have to actually wake up before noon to attend classes and do homework. Here is my perspective of second semester as told by Family Guy.

1. Although you missed all of your friends, you really aren't ready to wake up at 8 AM for a full day of classes.

So instead, you sit in bed contemplating if school is really worth it.


2. You go to your first day of class, which is "Syllabus Day."

When you find out that your professor doesn't take attendance.


3. But then your professor says there will be a group project and you don't get to pick your partner.


4. But (luckily) you get partnered with your best friend to complete the project anyways.


5. Coffee

Before you begin talking about any project, homework, or anything else for that matter, you must have your (second) daily dose of coffee.

6. Not even coffee can get you through lecture classes

Those are the absolute worst.

7. You know what sucks more than lecture classes? Mondays.


8. And if there's an exam on a Monday morning, you can forget studying.

But by some miracle you got an A.


9. If someone reminds the teacher about collecting homework, you immediately hate them


10. Being in college also means being in debt

So, checking your credit card statement is always disappointing.

11. Food

But let's be honest, half your money went to buying food. So, forget the freshman 15. It's more like the junior 30.


12. Since you've gained some weight in college, you try and get your daily exercise in before bed



13. When your professor tells you there is no study guide for the cumulative final


14. Then you reminisce about when you were a kid who so desperately wanted to grow up

And now you're like, "What was I thinking?"

Although college is tough and requires hard work, I've definitely met some amazing people and wouldn't change it for anything. Despite all of the studying, college is fun. I mean, college is supposed to be the best times of your life! So, enjoy it. And maybe you should try studying for those exams next time. Or not. Either one.

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.

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.
