The Struggle of Always Being In the Middle Of Conflicts In Your Friend Group

If you’ve ever found yourself in a friend group that is in a fragile state that includes breakups, arguments about living together and/or sex, then you’ve probably felt stuck in the middle at some point. Being stuck in the middle means that you’re friends with both parties who start to strongly dislike each other. Then, you take it upon yourself to try and mend it to save the entire group. Unfortunately, most of the time, that never works, and you end up having tried for nothing. You just have 2 pissed off friends who each want you to take their side even if they say they don’t. And you don’t want to be playing tug of war, so what can you do? To be honest, each situation is different and there’s no exact way to do things. But the most important thing is to explain to both parties that you’re still

What Actually Happens On a Day You Don’t Have Finals During Finals Week

We all like to pretend that we study 24/7 during finals week, but if we get an off day during it, we probably aren’t studying the entire day. Here’s what your schedule would probably look like: 1) Go to sleep: Because even though you’re not studying, you stay up until like 4am, so the first thing you do that day is technically sleep. 2) Wake up: You probably don’t wake up until after lunch so you don’t have to make an extra meal. The midnight snacks don’t count! 3) Make lunch: But you really wanna try and be productive so you make lunch, and it’s a pretty long, drawn-out ordeal. 4) Go to the gym: You haven’t been to the gym since the second day of the semester but you decide this is the perfect time to give it a try. 5) Shower: Normally you don’t shower during finals week

11 Things You Should Not Say to Asian People

11. “Hey I’m really into Asian guys/girls”: Please don’t let that be your opening line! It’s cool that you have an open mind but it doesn’t make us like you more. Sometimes it’s actually creepy :O 10. “Hey your English is really good!”: Yeeeeeah thanks, I’ve lived here my entire life. Obviously not the case for everyone, but it can really bother some people to hear this. 9. “Do you know _____?”: Yes, because every Asian person knows each other…actually, this is sort of true, but if the only connection you’re making between 2 Asians is the fact that they’re…Asian, ugh. 8. “Can you say ___ in your language?”: For some people they’re more than willing, but catch them on a bad day and you’ll get a look and a huff of annoyance. 7. “Haha you’re so un-American!”: Especially for an Asian person who identifies as an American, it’s kinda

10 Thoughts When You’re Running Low on Your Meal Plan

Running low on your meal plan is possibly one of the worst things you can experience in college. You could easily just use your card or cash, but it’s not the same as just swiping your meal card and never having to use “real” money. 10. When did this happen?! One minute everything was totally okay and you had tons of money, and then it all just disappeared. It had to have been some form of magic or something because there’s no way you spent that much in such little time. 9. I can totally save this for the rest of the semester. You think that you can save up whatever you have left and make it last till the end of the semester. I hate to break it to you, but you’re in denial. 8. I need to stop eating so much. Don’t blame this problem on how much you love food because that’s not the problem here.

10 Signs You’re the Loud One on Your Floor

No matter where you live, there’s always at least one person that everyone considers “the loud one”. They’re the person who always seems to be making some kind of noise, whether it’s by talking loudly, blasting music, making a ton of noise in general, etc. There’s always one and if you can’t think of who it is – it’s probably you. 10. You rearrange your furniture quite often. Every single time you move anything – even just your bed – it makes noise. Sometimes you just have to move your bed a little, and that’s okay, but you shouldn’t be rearranging your furniture every week. 9. You throw your trash at the trash can (and miss it most of the time). We all like to think we have killer aim, but that’s not always the case. It’s always fun to practice your shooting skills, but every time you miss and hit the wall it just makes
