10 Things College Students Do In Their Free Time
http://blog.sleepdallas.com/naps-friend-or-foe/

Before I began college, I imagined I'd have no free time. It seemed as if college students were always busy doing something important and efficient with their lives. However, now that I myself am a college student, I can see my thoughts were completely wrong. College students can go days at a time without having to study, do homework, or even (while I do not recommend it) attend class. With all this free time on our hands, there are several activities we college students enjoy participating in to pass the time away.

1. Eating... a lot.

Why not? It's not like you had anything going on anyways. College students have access to free food all over campus, and you can bet we are going to take advantage of that.

2. Spending money we don't have.

Two things go hand in hand when you're a college student: constantly needing to purchase something and constantly being broke.

3. Staying up all night binge watching Netflix.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F09%2F6361157148969187771234143130_200-14.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=801&h=b87707b7021a25d0bb77a61002c49cbad05bf84f8834c5d02936f167c02f3837&size=980x&c=954579931 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F09%252F6361157148969187771234143130_200-14.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D801%26h%3Db87707b7021a25d0bb77a61002c49cbad05bf84f8834c5d02936f167c02f3837%26size%3D980x%26c%3D954579931%22%7D" expand=1]

College students see finishing a whole season of a TV series in a week as an opportunity, not a challenge.

4. Taking naps.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F09%2F636115753639948127-1983603190_200-18.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=419&h=e6732b89cb818315872c0787348a863842ecc5d3ecd72d6a1da50bd18b157208&size=980x&c=2587750519 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F09%252F636115753639948127-1983603190_200-18.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D419%26h%3De6732b89cb818315872c0787348a863842ecc5d3ecd72d6a1da50bd18b157208%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2587750519%22%7D" expand=1]

Since we're up all night watching Netflix, we must find other times in the day to catch up on sleep.

5. Scrolling through social media.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F09%2F636115724177069461-1010666337_200-15.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=469&h=a4e8ba0cef71e3e024fbeb698b87d347f8a2a375eff067b72a8191d00b4b85b0&size=980x&c=2041579538 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F09%252F636115724177069461-1010666337_200-15.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D469%26h%3Da4e8ba0cef71e3e024fbeb698b87d347f8a2a375eff067b72a8191d00b4b85b0%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2041579538%22%7D" expand=1]

If you don't share at least one cute puppy video on Facebook a day are you really a college student?

6. Going out.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F09%2F636115728844548727881549518_200-16.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=544&h=5590a6faf3d1ebbfec9b982fb63771bdcdf5c313b920400605e4833cafc23dfd&size=980x&c=1291123382 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F09%252F636115728844548727881549518_200-16.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D544%26h%3D5590a6faf3d1ebbfec9b982fb63771bdcdf5c313b920400605e4833cafc23dfd%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1291123382%22%7D" expand=1]

Much of a college student's free time can also be spent attending parties.

7. Having FOMO when we decide not to go out.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F09%2F636115731623424766-1058143740_giphy-4.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=852&h=fd87a8ac1fd920f49db27afddc993c253491017b4affe55b68308ae825eb9b93&size=980x&c=2247869225 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F09%252F636115731623424766-1058143740_giphy-4.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D852%26h%3Dfd87a8ac1fd920f49db27afddc993c253491017b4affe55b68308ae825eb9b93%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2247869225%22%7D" expand=1]

Sometimes, when college students decide to spend their free time binge-watching Netflix and scrolling through social media, they regret the decision to stay in for the night and develop FOMO, also known as fear of missing out.

8. Questioning what we are doing with our life.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F09%2F636115742084878733-1544076058_tumblr_nn0nmvUFRs1rkiuhro1_500.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=476&h=2ea01679eb186473fb79d96b59400d1ef2c4607fc0aabfe77e66b1f386b2bba5&size=980x&c=3488847189 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F09%252F636115742084878733-1544076058_tumblr_nn0nmvUFRs1rkiuhro1_500.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D476%26h%3D2ea01679eb186473fb79d96b59400d1ef2c4607fc0aabfe77e66b1f386b2bba5%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3488847189%22%7D" expand=1]

Are you really in college if you don't have a breakdown every now and then about what you are going to do when you get out into the real world?

9. Complaining.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F09%2F636115746429476920768964809_TinaFeyEverythings.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=699&h=0dae68231ade0690dfb5a56e3c13d3d741faecc67739d10fae39a6bdbf1378bb&size=980x&c=2246249523 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F09%252F636115746429476920768964809_TinaFeyEverythings.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D699%26h%3D0dae68231ade0690dfb5a56e3c13d3d741faecc67739d10fae39a6bdbf1378bb%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2246249523%22%7D" expand=1]

"Oh, you had two tests today? I had two test AND an essay due today. I win."

10. Procrastinating.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.
