Five Pictures that Describe the Daily Struggle of a College Student

A day in the life of a college student varies from day-to-day, but there are some common occurrences that arise on a daily basis. In order for you to have a better understanding of what occurs in the life of a average college student, I've chosen five pictures that sum up my day. So without further ado, here are five pictures with a 20-35 word excerpt in between that sums up the life of an average college student. 

With morning time comes the daily question, "Do I really have to go to class?" The answer: yes, always yes.

What it looks like when you set 5 alarms to wake you up in the morning for class...and you still don't get up. #collegelife #sorrynotsorry #sleepdeprived

Some time throughout the day the real important question arises: what do I eat? There's healthy food, and there's the multiple takeout boxes in the fridge that keep on multiplying.

To consume junk food, or not to consume junk food. That is the common college student question. #collegelife #food #foodlover #foodstagram

Then after consuming those one thousand calories comes another issue: the fitness struggle. It's kind of like the first issue we started out with: is the gym really necessary?

When college stresses you out, you have to work it out. #gym #college #collegefitness

Of course some of us decide to not go to the gym because...you know...grades are important. So we sit down, open our laptops, and hit those books.

How to survive college, you ask? How about you pick up a book? #collegelife #bookstagram

But then a few minutes into it you realize you don't want to study. Now you're happy you didn't leave your place because all you want is to watch Netflix in peace...and you can.

Reason I don't study in public: Netflix. #netflix #sorrynotsorry

And there's so much more in between, but I feel like these pictures definitely tells a good part of the daily college student struggle.

Sleep on,
