If you're a college student you know just how much the struggle is real these days.
Between papers, and studying for exams and dealing with the stress of attempting to be an adult, We do it all and within a strict deadline. College students are the closest thing to superheroes these days. If you're reading this because your scrolling Facebook while not paying attention in class, or procrastinating writing a paper you will definitely agree with these 10 realities of being you:
1. Coffee!!!
You need it. If you came into college a pure freshman detesting coffee's magical powers you now know how foolish you once were. Coffee is the number one survival tactic of any college student.
2. All nighters
I have still not pulled an all nighter, but my sources tell me they are quite popular amongst college kids. I feel like this may be a typical college student stereotype until it happens to me...
3. Going to class hungover
You will ultimately end up having to do this and it sucks every time.
4. 10-20 page papers
If you're assigned a 10-20 page paper you know you're pushing that off until the last possible minute. The feeling of your life be sucked from your very soul as you attempt to do it the night before its due is life changing.
5. Ramen noodles
A cult favorite amongst college students, ramen for breakfast lunch and dinner is the way to go.
6. You read. A lot.
Literally for every class all at the same time. Why do professors feel the need to make us read 60 pages from a textbook at a time!?
7. What is this "down time" you speak of?
You never have free time. You are always studying. You are always doing something that usually isn't fun.
8. Hooking up and never speaking to that person again
A typical college night out 95% of the time leads to you leaving the bar with a guy and having to do the infamous walk of shame the next morning. But the best part is that you will most likely never speak to each other again!
9."I'm dropping out."
When the going gets tough, just begin planning your life for when you get to the point of wanting to drop out. This mindset ultimately leads to a crying phone call with your mom.
10. Failing once or twice.. maybe three times.
You fails tests, get horrible grade on papers but don't worry it happens to everyone.
