As collegiettes™, we’ve all got our problems. So what better way to relish in our troubles than to turn to the Internet? From frenemies to the post-college world, we’ve put together a list of the 17 best Twitter “problem” accounts that will not only have you feeling less alone with your @psychogirlproblems but will also have you LOL’ing.
1. @whitegrlproblem
Babe Walker seemingly started the “problem” craze when she created @whitegrlproblem. From her quest to be a Carrie (and not a Miranda) to her ruined childhood romance with Lance Bass, White Girl Problems has a little something that every collegiette™ can relate to, no matter your ethnicity. Walker, whose face has remained anonymous, tweets about her inability to dance, her endless dieting, and her love-hate relationship with her therapist. To join the craze, add the hashtag #whitegirlproblems to any of your tweets! And if you’re desperate for more, the White Girl Problems book is available starting January 31st.
2. @sororityproblem
@sororityproblem is everyone’s favorite sorority girl. From her alcoholic tendencies to her obsession with celebrities, there’s no problem she doesn’t face. Sorority Girl Problems (#SGP—not to be confused with the world-famous SJP) goes inside the head of your everyday collegiette™ and tweets everything you want to say but don’t (probably because you hope to land a job someday). Even better, @sororityproblem has three online books for you to download onto your smartphone to read wherever you are—especially for when you’re bored in class.
3. @princessprobz
Unfortunately, we can’t all marry royalty like Kate Middleton and fulfill our childhood dreams of being a princess. Nonetheless, as a self-proclaimed princess myself—at least until Harry or Prince Felix of Luxembourg officially proposes—I’ve turned to @princessprobz to comfort me while I deal with the strenuous trials and tribulations of being royalty (or fauxalty). #Princessprobz‘s self-obsessed tweets about Diet Coke binges, presents from many boyfriends, and diamond-encrusted expenditures epitomize the princess (or socialite) we all secretly wish to be. And to go alongside that Disney Princess tiara sitting on your nightstand, are Princess Problems cozies… to keep any can of Diet Coke fresh and chilled, of course.
College is supposed to be the best time of our lives. But between papers, professors, hangovers, and a consistent lack of money there’s a lot to complain about, and @collegeproblem is just that outlet you’re looking for. College Problem states the obvious (studying really means going on Facebook), but also adds wit to your everyday issues: “I really want to burn these books when finals are over. Too bad I rented them. #collegeproblems”
5. @psychogrlprblem
Let’s be honest, when it comes down to it, we can all be a little psycho. While some of us may try to hide our inner-crazy, @psychogrlprblem does everything but. Whether it’s about crying at the gym or planning a seriously embarrassing couples costume for Halloween, Psycho Girl has no shame when it comes to being a self-proclaimed nut job.
6. @90sgirlproblem
Oh the ‘90s—there’s nothing quite like them. From classic Nickelodeon television shows like “All That” and “The Secret Life of Alex Mack” (because really, who wouldn’t want their superpower to be transforming into a radioactive puddle?) to Limited Too shopping sprees, growing up in the ‘90s with Scrunchies and Lisa Frank folders was just too good. But of course we still had our issues, and @90sgirlproblem loves to reminisce on them: blowing into Nintendo cartridges, skipping Walkmans and CDs, dying Tamagotchis, and the absolute worst: missing a sale during a heated game of Mall Madness. Be sure to tweet your biggest ‘90s hurdle using by adding #90sgirlproblem to any of your tweets!

7. @Singlegrlprob
Single and attempting to mingle? @Singlegrlprob has your back while you painfully sit through football games, or desperately seek a date for a function you just can’t get out of. In the world of coupled-off friends, you’re never alone with #singlegirlproblems by your side…and tweeting your thoughts. So don’t worry, you’re not the only one spending Saturday night with your cat and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s.
8. @Shamelessprobs
@Shamelessprobs’s bio says it all: because we all do it. You’re not the only one who has embarrassing, slutty, disgraceful, or drunken stories to awkwardly share, and Shameful Girl Problems is that inner conscience telling you to keep going: “When given two options, I usually chose the one that is more self destructive. #shameless” Because really, “who [doesn’t] want more wine? #shameless”
9. @PostGradProblem
Adjusting from college life to the “real world” is a problem in itself; add in annoying co-workers, late nights at the office, and the overall lackluster life of full-time employment, and you have @PostGradProblem, or #PGP. But you’re not the only one suffering in the post-collegiette™ world. While you can’t escape reality forever, you can take their advice and never graduate… or postpone as long as possible.
10. @FrenemyProblems
Like Dane Cook said, we’ve all got a Karen (i.e., the friend that nobody likes), but we keep them around anyway, and when it comes to girls, Karen tends to be the frenemy. @FrenemyProblems teaches you how to deal with that catty friend who tells you about a party, but doesn’t invite you, and who compliments your hair when your roots clearly need touching up. Like they always say, keep your friends close and your #frenemyproblems closer.
11. @JewBoyProblems
From visits with Bubbie in Boca, texts from an overbearing mother, to dreaming of reaching 5’8 before college graduation, @JewBoyProblems is a satire (and memoir) of a Jewish kid growing up in New York City. The thought of not going to sleepaway camp and life without a Blackberry is unfathomable to Jewish Boy. And although his identity is anonymous, GWU collegiettes keep an eye out for him on campus—his tweets have followers believing he’s a student there. But until his true identity is known, tweet along with #JewishBoyProblems.
12. @FirstWorldPains
If you’re reading this right now, you’re part of the privileged group who can justifiably say they have @FirstWorldPains. From having too many television channels to choose from, to losing your phone when it’s on silent, First World Pains pokes fun at our everyday complaints that, in the heat of the moment, seem like the end of the world. “I put off all of my homework until Sunday night. #firstworldpains”

13. @shortgirlprob
At a whopping 4’11 (and a half!), I can really relate to @shortgirlprob. But even if you aren’t vertically challenged like I am, you’ll still get a laugh reading up on the life of nugget (as my friends would say). Never reaching the top shelf, getting lost in a crowd, and getting all pants hemmed is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to #shortgirlproblems. And if you’re interested in the world of being a giant (something I have absolutely no experience with), check out @TallGirlProblem.
14. @exbfproblems
There’s nothing quite like harassing your ex-boyfriend, especially if he’s the one who broke up with you. Even better is toying with him if he’s still chasing after you. @exbfproblems explores all this and more… and makes sure to note that it’s perfectly okay to stalk your ex (not that you don’t already).
15. @PartyProblem
Are you a party animal? Do you walk in the room and the whole party suddenly lights up? Do you not remember weekends without a morning hangover? Then @PartyProblem is talking about you. Party Girl goes hard in everything she does, and makes sure to tweet about it… all of it. The only rule? No filters allowed.
16. @BFAproblems
Are you more of a Rachel Berry or a Kurt Hummel? Or maybe you’re neither (I would definitely want to be a Blaine…if I had any musical talent whatsoever), but either way you’re getting your Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and can relate to @BFAproblems. Even if you aren’t pursuing a career into the sensational world of art, we can all find a little piece of ourselves in #bfaproblems—I mean, who doesn’t like to come off as cultured? @BFAproblems takes you into the world of Broadway, High School Musical, endless auditions, and even brings up Dance Moms. What’s not to love (especially when Zac Efron is involved)?
17. @GingerProblems
As your typical brunette (who has always wanted to go blonde), I’ve never experienced the problems associated with red hair. But I had a ginger friend growing up, and I like to think I understand what she’s been through with her unique hair. From freckles and fair skin, to the never-ending jokes about not having a soul, @GingerProblems touches upon the tribulations that a ginger goes through on a daily basis.
