8 Things College Students Do That Would be Weird Anywhere Else

College is a strange place. Everyone's on their own, so essentially, we can do whatever we want. And sometimes, that means doing something that would be considered weird anywhere besides college. But, in college, it's totally normal. So, if you do any of these things, you're probably a college student and proud of it.

Napping. Anywhere at any time.

Between classes, writing papers, socializing, studying, and working, college students usually don't get their 8 hours. So, to work around that, being able to nap anywhere on campus during any time of the day is a skill that some have perfected to make sure they can stay awake through long lectures and late nights.

Riding a scooter to class.

That's right. Remember those Razor scooters you rode when you were 6? Well, now college students have also gotten into the trend. It's an easy way to save some travel time and look cool while doing it.

Ordering a coffee with a shot of red bull... at 8 pm.

We all have those nights where you have 2 papers, 3 assignments, and 6 chapters to read by the next morning... so you stay up all night completing it. So, when someone orders a coffee this strong this late, just wish them luck.

Wearing the same outfit for 2 days in a row.

Chances are, the people in your MWF classes don't see you on TH, so if you're too lazy to put on new clothes, or went out the night before, no one will know!

Doing laundry at 2 in the morning.

With everything college students need to worry about, laundry is often at the bottom of the list. So when it's 2 in the morning and you realize you don't have any clean clothes...

Reusing plastic utensils.

Let's be honest, college students are broke. So that plastic knife and fork you used for dinner tonight? It'll be washed and reused for the rest of the semester.

Going out in public in your pajamas.

Either you didn't have time to change, or you just didn't feel like it, but there always seems to be someone that goes to class or the dining hall in the clothes they slept in. Those plaid fleece pants? I know you didn't put those on to look nice.

Day drinking.

Drinking at 10 am on a Friday would probably be frowned upon elsewhere, but, in college, you're just a regular student. "Darties" also known as "day parties" are the new night parties.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
