I used to dread group projects in college, thinking they would just be another excuse to let my classmates slack off while I did the heavy lifting. But now, looking back, I realize those chaotic nights of cramming and brainstorming brought some of my best friendships. It's wild how sharing the stress of deadlines and the pressure of exams turned strangers into lifelong friends, and I wouldn't trad...

I know it's supposed to be the time of our lives, but sometimes I feel like college is just a never-ending cycle of stress and uncertainty.

Is it just me, or does every group project feel like a game of "who can do the least amount of work while still getting a passing grade"? I’m convinced that some people think showing up is the same as actually contributing. It’s frustrating, but at the same time, it’s a little hilarious how we all pretend it’ll work out in the end. I guess that’s just another lesson in adulting—learning how to nav...
