- Trying to balance classes, clubs, jobs, internships, and actually getting a decent amount of sleep is such a joke. Who needs sleep right?
- Going to a small school, running into literally everyone you have ever met is always awkward. Professors, friends, acquaintances, that guy you met last night at a townhouse, you can’t seem to avoid people… ever. Do I acknowledge this person I don’t really know and say hi or just walk by and pretend that I didn’t see them?
- Wanting to wear cute summer clothes while its not -20 degrees outside but freezing when you are inside a classroom with intense AC. Do you think I can ask if I can walk back to my room and get a sweatshirt?
- Picking out an outfit for going out or for a day drink takes so much strategy and effort. Will I look good in this? Have I already worn this out already? Is it too much or too little? Will I be cold? But I have to look cute so who cares if I freeze.
- Never having enough clothes in general: Time to online shop again… and slowly empty out my cart and cry because I have no money.
- The urge to order chicken tenders and fries at the stag but you’ve already had them three times this week. Oops.
- Speaking of food, never wanting to eat at Barone because, its Barone. I guess the Salad Bar is safe, right?
- Having no money when your friends want to go to NYC or the mall. Can we just stay in?
- Forcing yourself to stay in and study for an exam when all your friends are posting SnapChat stories at a party. Fml.
- Forcing yourself to go the gym, because can’t skip a day without doing abs. The new Rec Plex is so nice, but would I rather workout for an hour or watch Gossip Girl in bed and eat junk food? Girl, you always deserve an hour of Netflix.
