In high school, school was a breeze. Teachers treated you like babies, well if you were their favorite. High School was not as hard or so time-consuming. Now, that I am a full-time college student, I see that college is A LOT of work. You actually have to study really hard and for hours.

The stressed level is on the roof with college and passing classes. Most people seem to take it as it is, then you have the smart people who can accomplish anything without studying for a long period of time. I have never had so much coffee or taken so many naps during school until now.

One thing about being a freshman in college is that you are not used to not knowing anybody in class or not knowing your teacher personally. Now you have to schedule appointments to discuss your grades... I was like what? When my professor said that.

I have learned a few helpful things to help cope with my stress in college.

College is full of late nights and fun. But sometimes it is hard to focus and study because so much is going on. But you got this.

1. Get a good bit of sleep... it is very important

​2. Eat more healthy and drink more water​

3. Focus more on the harder things that cause you to stress rather than the little things

4. Take the time out of your day to relax and take time for yourself

5. Working out helps lower stress

6. Surround yourself with positivity

7. Worry less and get things done on time

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
