Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like college is just an elaborate scam to keep us in debt while we learn things that don’t really prepare us for real life? I mean, I’ve pulled all-nighters for exams on topics I can barely remember a week later, while the responsibilities of adulthood loom over me like a giant "F" on a report card. And let's not even talk about the group projects that turn ...
I’m starting to think college is just a high-stakes game of survival where the real test is not the exams, but figuring out how to manage your mental health in a sea of deadlines and demands. Between the randomness of group projects, the insane cost of textbooks that feel like they were written by a professor's distant relative, and the endless cycle of caffeine and sleep deprivation, it’s wild to...

Why do we act like choosing a major is like picking a life-long partner? I mean, one day you're gung-ho about being a marine biologist, and the next you're in an existential crisis at 2 AM, realizing you can barely swim. Is anyone else low-key terrified about graduating and having to "adult" when I can't even decide what to have for lunch? It feels like they should hand out diplomas in indecision ...
