With graduation just around the corner, seniors are starting to get emotional and nostalgic. We're all sad to be leaving behind a place that's become our home over the past few years, and the friends who have become our family. But, rather than focusing on what we don't want to leave behind, let's take a moment to celebrate the fact that there are also annoying things about college that we won't have to put up with anymore.
Here is a list of all of the things that won't be missed by graduating seniors:
1. Putting off doing laundry because the washing machines and dryers are a) gross b) always full unless it's the dead of night and c) only work like 43% of the time.

Or just the dirty dorm showers in general. Freshman year, I yawned in the shower and a bug flew into my mouth (true story).
3. Getting sick from the food after a long break because your body hasn't "adjusted" to it yet.
