7 Stresses We Go Through As Young Adults
William Iven

Let me tell you; transitioning into a young adult sucks. Things just hit you in the face left to right and sometimes it is hard to deal with them. These things being bills, rent, jobs, etc. We, as young adults, go through so much stress. Older adults would always say, "You don't know what stress is, once you get to my age, you will understand." Sometimes adults act like we have it good and do not stress. Well, let me begin by giving you some of the things that young adults stress about:

1. Do I have a bank account at this point?

At this moment, you thought you had "xxxx.xx" dollars in your account, and then you look at the actual amount in your bank account.

2. We don't find the bills, they find us

Some of us have to pay bills. Our phone bills, utility bills, and other bills just love to pile on us. It seems like we can never catch a break.

3. How far behind am I?

Once we pay rent, you know money is already going to be tight. Just when you thought you had money to feed yourself, you dont.

4. Have you been hitting the gym?

We always say we are going to hit the gym hard, and some of us never do because we either work a lot of hours, or we just do not have the motivation.

5. Nothing is going right

The feeling where you feel that everything is crashing down. You have so many things to do, deadlines coming up, and time is short to do it all.

6. I haven't heard you make that noise before

That moment where you know your car is on its last leg. Just when you think nothing else can give you more stress, your car starts to make a noise, or you haven't gotten an oil change, or it just needs to be fixed in general.

7. Please let this one go through

That moment when you are worried you are not going to be able to eat because you do not know if you have sufficient funds.

Whether we are kids, teens, or adults, we all go through life struggles. No matter the situation, our struggles always matter. People may think that what you are going through is not that serious and does not matter. However, people handle situations differently; some harder than others. Point is, you are important and your struggles are also. So, if you have the support or resources, reach out. If you do not know where to go, do research; google is your best friend. You can do it, you just need to have the drive to go through your problems and find solutions.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
