To the college student who has had a week filled with iced coffees, no sleep and multiple mental breakdowns a week, this one's for you.

I'll admit it, college sucks. Every single time I see someone from back home that I haven't seen in a while, I get the same dreaded question:

"How's school?"

I usually respond with some vague answer that hides the fact that I am dying inside from the mounds of homework my professors so graciously give me, but we all know how it really feels.

The days of the week go surprisingly fast seeing as how little sleep we get. Between going to class, working and doing hours on hours of homework and studying, and extra curriculars, we have no free time.

And as soon as the weekend comes, it somehow is magically over in what feels like fifteen minutes. Then the Sunday Scaries hit, and you realize that all of the work you put until the weekend now has a due date way closer than you thought.

And money? Oh, we don't know her anymore. You're lucky if you have a maximum of $20 in your bank account after buying everything you need to survive on your own. Even if you have a job and are the best at saving, that money is gone in no time at all.

As I've heard it from many college students, "I wish I could do college without the whole class part". This is supposed to be a time where we are free to learn new things, experience things we have never experienced before and make memories to last a lifetime. Instead, we're getting fifteen hours of sleep a week and insane amounts of stress.

And somehow, even with all of this, these truly are the best four years of your life.
