The Top 5 Struggles Every First Year College Freshman Can Relate To
Lauren Elizabeth

There are many struggles that come with your freshman year of college. Here are the top 5!

1. Communal bathrooms

Need I say more? For those that are not lucky enough to have a shower in their dorm or a shower in their suite there is the dreaded communal bathrooms. Having to walk through several hallways in flip flops just to shower becomes a bit inconvenient but look on the bright side at least you don't have to worry about cleaning a bathroom.


2. Procrastinating on doing your laundry


For some people college is the first time they have ever done their own laundry. If you are lucky enough to go to college close to home you can just bring your laundry home for your mom to do. If you stay on campus though make sure you do your laundry regularly or else it will just build up. Oh and planning on making Sundays your laundry day? Good luck finding a empty machine.

3. Always being hungry



How is it possible to eat all the time and still always be hungry? Not much can be said for college cafeteria food so you start to live off of popcorn and easy mac in your room. Don't forget those late night calls to Dominos for pizza and cinnastix.


4. And you are always tired



If you are like me you might occasionally find yourself finally going to sleep as the sun is rising. Your sleep schedule gets so messed up that midnight starts to feel like 8 o'clock at night. Every time you get a chance in-between classes you take a nap. You might even find yourself setting a timer for 8 minutes just to squeeze in a quick nap before your 12:10.


5. You become addicted to binge watching TV shows


Whether its Netflix, Hulu, or an illegal streaming website we all fall victim to binge watching at one point or another. Who knows why but binge watching tv shows becomes a huge part of your college life. You said you were just going to watch the one episode but before you know it its 4 am and you finished an entire season. When you finally emerge from your binge watching coma you have watched a whole series in 3 days but you can not remember what day it is.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
