If you don't know by now, undergrad will be the best four years of your life. If you have yet to figure this out, you will as soon as your diploma is in hand and real life starts to hit you faster than you can shot gun a beer. If you're like me, you'll try to delay entering the real world by immediately going to grad school (in my case, law school). Although nothing can compare to the feeling of continuing to pursue your educational aspirations, no one truly tells you how different your life will be. Undergrad is all butterflies and rainbows compared to grad school. Here's why:
1. You'll spend an entire month's rent on textbooks every semester.
2. Just when you think you've finally mastered the art of time management, you are proven wrong.
Oh, so the three chapters I just read aren't tonight's assignment? Cool.
3. You have no time to cook and start to miss your undergrad's crappy meal plan.
You guessed it! Tonight's menu includes a gourmet frozen meal for dinner, again.4. You spend more time in the library than you do at home.
Who needs eight hours of sleep in the comfort of their own bed, anyway?6. You're not only stressed about school but the fact that you are now an entire season behind in your favorite tv show.
Still better than everyone ruined the Bachelor in Paradise finale for me.7. There is no such thing as a weekend.
Girl, you tell me.8. But when you do get the chance to be social, you need someone to physically force you to go out.
Sometimes you just need a little extra push out the door.
9. The only thing you ever talk about is grad school.
Every time you mention grad school, drink.10. Drinking is no longer a pass time but a necessity to survive.
A lot. It takes a lot.
