To The Struggling College Student, Summer Is Almost Here
Rachel Neal

Dear struggling college student,

I know it feels like the end of the spring semester is so close yet so far away.

Trust me, we're all going through the blues.

The weather is nice, so all you wanna do is go outside and soak in the sun, but exams and studying and essays are all calling your name and preventing you from leaving your dorm.

I'm here to tell you that you can do it.

I know it's hard, but it'll be all worth it.

It'll be worth it once you pass all your classes.

It'll be worth it when you get to move back home to spend a few months with your family that you missed so much.

It'll be worth it when you can go to endless summer concerts and have the best time of your life.

It'll be worth it when you get to go on that vacation that you've planned for what feels like forever.

It'll be worth it when you can take long road trips with your friends with the windows down, blasting music, laughing until you're crying, and making those unforgettable memories with them again.

But most importantly, it'll all be worth it when you're finally stress-free and happy.

It sucks right now, but it won't suck in a few weeks once you take that final exam, walk out of your last lecture hall, and don't have to stay up all night finishing a 5-8 page essay.

So keep going, keep working hard, and make yourself proud by getting the grades you want and the grades you deserve.

Summer is almost here.

Happiness is almost here.

You can do it. I know you can.

Sincerely,

A fellow struggling college student

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
