The Struggles of College Summed Up in the Most Relatable Tweets

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at KU chapter.

College.

Some of the best and worst times in your life pretty much characterized by being mentally and financially unstable while also having way too much fun for your own good and no responsiblitlies. We love it and we hate it. The struggles of college are very real for every college student, so keep reading for some tweets that are so relatable they will make you laugh out loud. 

The NEED to put everything in your planner to pretend you’re organized and have your sh*t together.

Wondering everyday if you really need to be here

Paying thousands of dollars a semester just to have a mental breakdown: anytime, anywhere, and pretty much everyday. Or die of stress. 

But at least we’re all in this together.

Having high hopes for the semester, and then…

You realize not failing is an accomplishment.

Parking a.k.a Mission Impossible. Have fun roaming around the parking lot for at least 10 minutes trying to find a spot that opens up and then of course it’s the furthest one from where you’re trying to go. Time to walk a mile. 

Snow days are a thing of the past. Temperature for the day below freezing? Forget staying in your warm bed safe and sound; you better start your usual 15 minute trek to class and hope you make it there in time because turning into an icicle on the way is not an excuse your professors will accept. 

Being in this weird phase of your life where you don’t know exactly what to call home / always wanting to go back to college when you’re at “home” and vice versa. 

When the professor makes you buy the most expensive version of your textbook just so it can come with an access code for online homework. Hahah remember when saving money was a thing, yeah me neither. 

Being so broke it’s not. even. funny.

But then making sure you save up hundreds of dollars to go on a lit spring break trip so you can at least have one week of fun. 

Sitting in your accounting class wondering if Serena van der Woodsen really had to go through all of this. Yeah, probably not. Bye college.
