The Struggles of Being A College Student (EXPLICIT)

Thy cuppeth runneth over and this bitch has had enough of this bullshit.

The Struggles of Being A College Student (EXPLICIT)

Where do I begin?

I haven't written an article this month until now, and my apologizes. I was busy detoxing in Pearland. I was busy completing the National Dex in Sword and binging on the new sensation that I found about on in Mexico: RuPaul's Drag Race. More on that later. Before my Thanksgiving Break, I had to deal with continuous shit and galore, trying to make my grades decent enough, just because I have been a total slacker for the past five months. Procrastination is an anesthetic running on time, and clearly, I have not that much left. Which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Good news: I have two weeks left; my grades have enough insurance to get at least a B should I make decent scores on my finals. Bad news: I am a senior-classified junior with no plans, no GER, no active application for graduate school, no internship, no job, and no cocktails cause I'm still underage for the next five months.

Mistakes were made...

I know senior year was to be hard, but this is ridiculous. Let it be known that I subjected myself to this torture by taking 15-19 hours per semester. I thought it would be great to take extra hours to be accomplished. But at what cost? An empty social life, an addiction to coffee (a cold brew with half-and-half and sweetener, please), sleepless nights, excessive gaming, a desire to drink, wanting to skip classes, excessive Pokémon Go-ing, a desire to drink, a desire to drink. It sucks, knowing that your friends are of age and are at the bar, while you're stuck alone…with a bottle of cheap-ass milk from Walmart—and no cookies either.

And for what? A piece of paper in a frame, hanged on the wall for prestige? A supposed job that supposed to make a lot of money? Two to eight years of education for a job that you'll have to be a resident/intern for to get the real thing?

I have absolutely no idea what my plans are for the future, but I have one idea of what's up:

I'm fucked.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
