10 Struggles Only Fairfield Girls Understand

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.
  1. Trying to balance classes, clubs, jobs, internships, and actually getting a decent amount of sleep is such a joke. Who needs sleep right?
  2. 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?
  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  1. Never having enough clothes in general: Time to online shop again… and slowly empty out my cart and cry because I have no money.
  2. The urge to order chicken tenders and fries at the stag but you’ve already had them three times this week. Oops.

  3. Speaking of food, never wanting to eat at Barone because, its Barone. I guess the Salad Bar is safe, right?
  1. Having no money when your friends want to go to NYC or the mall. Can we just stay in?
  1. Forcing yourself to stay in and study for an exam when all your friends are posting SnapChat stories at a party. Fml.
  2. 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.
