They say that college is the “best four years of your life.” It’s one of the first times in your life where you are able to try new things, meet new people and decide who you are going to become. One of the best things about college is that things that might seem weird somehow become socially acceptable. There are so many things that we do on a daily basis that would make any other non-college student go “WTF?” And here are just a few of them.

1. Going a month without doing laundry

And then when you finally do it, you try to fit four-loads’ worth into one load. Hey, it’s not worth it to wait for another washer to open up!

2. Showering in the middle of the day

Have a one-hour break between your morning classes? Sounds like a perfect time for a quick shower. No one will even notice that your hair is wet afterwards.

3. Setting an alarm for a 14 minute nap

“If I fall asleep right this second I can sleep for X number of minutes before I have to leave for my next class.” A common line.

4. Skipping one class to study for another

Sometimes you just gotta prioritize. Skip that 100 person lecture to study for your history midterm. The professor won’t even notice you’re not there and then you have an extra hour to study. A win-win.

5. Spending hundreds of dollars on textbooks that you will open once or twice (maybe even never at all)

Or, you can take the opposite approach and not buy the textbook that the professor says is “required.” I’ve come up with a perfect solution to this: Every time you need the book, simply go to the bookstore and sit there and study the book. No need to buy it. I hope I just changed your life.

6. Wearing the clothes you slept in to your 8 a.m.

Or all day -- yikes.

7. Going to a party at the house of a stranger

There is no other time in your life that it is socially acceptable to show up to a house where you don’t even know who lives there. Embrace the ability to have a free-for-all.

8. Having so much homework to do but not starting it until 1 a.m.

Procrastination will always get the best of you. It’s worth it to hang out with your friends til 9 pm, come home, watch TV for 4 hours and then think about starting the mounds of homework you have to do the next day. Perfectly logical.

9. Drinking coffee (or Red Bull) at all hours of the day

Have a paper that’s due the next morning? You better believe you’ll be pulling an all-nighter where you’ll consume multiple cups of coffee. You gotta do what you gotta do.

10. You never want it to be over

I wouldn’t trade all the weird moments for anything.

There is no other time in your life where you’ll be able to do any weird thing you want and get no judgment for it. Embrace these four years -- they won’t last very long!
