Sometimes I sit there, miserably, and wonder what could possibly make me feel better. A slice of cake/pizza? Usually. But sometimes, there are voids that can’t be filled by anything other than your childhood. Here are some things that sounds really nice to have right now.

I’m going to preface this post by saying that I don’t mean to generalize in a derogatory way! Just some fun and games regarding our building stereotypes on campus. FRESHMAN: take this as you may.

To be quite honest, I was a very lame freshman. But even looking back, I wish I could relive some of the moments from those days. When it comes down to it, we may all have been pretty derpy kids, but we were carefree kids nonetheless. Here’s some things I miss.

There are undoubtedly a lot of interesting characters around finals week, but no reality show could ever beat the amount you’d see gathered in ye ‘ol Leavey library. Here are a few you may be familiar with:

There are fewer frustrating feelings than forgetting something at home and remembering too late. Although it’s best to make a quick packing list, chances are: if you’re the type to forget a few things at home, you’re not the type to have time to make a packing list, either.

We’ve all been there: it’s 1am and you know you shouldn’t eat any more food today, but guess what? You do. And you’re a fully grown adult (almost…good enough) and have the finances (also barely good enough) to nourish yourself with…fatty foods. But here’s the catch!

As classes dwindle down, there is a spike in the demand for caffeine. Finals are almost upon us, and it looks like cloudy with a chance of filter coffee. Now, since we’re all starving college students try to scrape by, I thought I’d compile the most caffeinated bang-for-your-buck that you can grab at TroGro so that you can finish off the essay you probably should have finished off a week ago. I preface this list by saying these are measured in milligrams in a grande size for each beverage. Also, caffeine addiction is very real, so make sure you watch yourself because withdrawal ain’t cute. With that, here are your top 5!

Sleep is a love-hate relationship for a lot of people–especially college students. Whether it’s that quick nap in your dorm before class starts freshman year or…that quick nap in your car before class starts senior year, sleep is a necessity for everyone.

1. There for the music: This person is the typical festival-goer. They have a little piece of paper (or a note on their phone) with their own personalized schedule for each day they’re attending. They’ve been to many-a-music-festival and are always fun to chat with. Whether they are fanatics or down-to-earth, they make the festival not just an enjoyable, but an educational experience…

Happy National Puppy Day! Who doesn’t love puppies? Furthermore, who doesn’t like USC? What a better combination than to have both exist at the same time?! To celebrate this joyous occasion, here are 7 Trojan puppies that are killing the fashion game.

We’ve all been there–top ramen and water. If not, are you even in college good for you! However, it’d be nice to save more here and there when budgeting becomes a burden. Personally, I get the drawbacks of that: cutting stuff out of the ads that get shoved into your mailbox just feels a little stodgy, and it becomes too much of a process. Luckily, there are online versions that work perfectly well–if not better! Here are seven:
