"Adulting" is a hard thing to do. For those not currently in college, here is how a student would describe their thoughts and feelings towards college and becoming an adult.
1. Walking to an 8 am class...these stairs will be the death of me.
Why does it seem like every class is on the 3rd floor? Please tell me which students have all of their classes on the first floor. My favorite part is how we are given elevators, but they just taunt us because if you take one you know you're going to be late for class.
2. Why do I need 12 textbooks that cost $600...when I only have 5 classes.
Is it just me or is the price for a textbook ridiculous? Since when did supplying the information needed for you to study become as much as the tuition. All I know is I'll be eating Ramen noodles a lot.
3. Finishing the first week of class and thinking.. how many days until break?
Counting down the days to fall break is my favorite past time. Nothing against college, I love it. But the homework... not so much.
4. Missing your cat.
I can't be the only one.
5. Trying to figure out laundry...
This is a foreign language I am not capable of comprehending. Theres just so many unanswered questions. How much soap? How many dryer sheets? Do I really have to separate lights from darks?
6. Runing out of netflix before the end of the semester.
As much as I need to be doing homework, I always cath myself watching netflix...
7. Missing your dog.
Everybody needs a companion.
8. Being able to eat whatever you want because mom and dad aren't around.
I can't be the only one who has already eaten at 10 different places just because they can now. Ice cream is a must have and easy mac is no longer limited to when your parents aren't already cooking a dinner.
9. Realizing a heard of elephants lives above you.
Maybe its just me... but I swear the people above me don't go to bed.
10. Thinking about working out... but never actually doing it.
Every morning I wake up to an alarm set and labeled "workout" I dismiss it, roll over, and go back to bed. I know Im not the only one.
