11 Things That Are Only Acceptable in College

We've all been guilty of doing at least one of these.

11 Things That Are Only Acceptable in College

1.Wearing sweatpants to class.

If you're currently a college student, we are all guilty of this. There is always a point in our lives when we are just like, "F*ck it. I'm wearing sweatpants." Let's be honest with ourselves. This is practically everyday for us. And if you say you've never done this, you're lying!

2. Making catch phrases in movies a drinking game.

Ever watch a movie with your friends and drink every time a certain character says their catch phrase? I'm sure we all have.

3. Taking naps in the middle of the day.

I don't know about you guys but I'm always tired after my classes. I'm also known for taking multiple naps so I guess I'm the perfect example of this point. I can take an average of two to three naps each day. How is this possible, you ask? Don't worry about it.

4.Reading any book that's not a textbook.

I'm guilty of this as well. I will literally read a Dr. Suess book before I voluntarily choose to read one of my textbooks. Green Eggs & Ham is one of my favorite Dr. Suess books. Judge me.

5.Wearing Greek Letter t-shirts every day.

Now I'm not in Greek Life but I've seen this happen literally everyday. Greek Fraternities and Sororities love to show off their Greek Letters. And I think it's totally cool that they have so much pride for their Fraternity or Sorority... but not if they are sh*tty people. Majority of them are cool but you always have that one stereotypical as$hole.

6. Eating in your bed.

Moving on to number 6. Eating in bed. I'm pretty sure this is not just a college thing. This could probably seen as universal but I feel like you are less likely to get judged if you do it in college. I love me a good bowl of mac & cheese in my warm and comfy bed. It's totally fulfilling.

7.Fitting more than one person into a twin sized bed.

We've all tried to fit more than one person into a twin sized bed at one point in our lives. I don't think this needs to be explained in detail so we gone skip to number eight.

8. Staying Up All Night To Watch Netflix.

Don't be afraid of Netflix. Netflix marathons are the BEST! I remember I spent the whole night watching all the seasons of Criminal Minds, my all time favorite show by the way. And guess what? It was a Tuesday night and I was not ashamed. It's college. Sh#t like that happens here. Get on my level.

9. Chugging Down Monster or Red Bull To Stay Awake.

Depending on how boring your professor is, you might need a Monster or Red Bull energy drink to keep yourself awake. It's gonna happen multiple times in your college career where you will definitely have trouble keeping your eyes open and it's okay. That energy drink is there to catch you when you fall, especially when you have ten page papers due the next day because you procrastinated.

10. Bringing Your Laptop To Class So You Can Pretend To Be Taking Notes.

Once again, if you say you've never done this in a class before, you are lying. There was one class that I took that was literally the most uninteresting class to every exist in this world. I brought my laptop to class and watched Hotel Transylvania 2 on Netflix for fifty minutes. I typed my notes while also watching a movie. That's multitasking at its finest.

11. Eating Cereal at 3 in the Morning.

Eating cereal at 3 in the morning is a way of life in college. Don't question it.

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.
