12 Weird Things That Are Completely Normal In College

You may have thought you kept things pretty lowkey in high school, heck, maybe you were even popular. But let me tell ya, moving to college really changes you as a person. You now do things you would have never dreamed of in high school, and the weird part is... you aren't alone. Here are 12 things that would definitely turn heads IRL, but are totally normal in a college lifestyle.

1. Eating cereal out of a solo cup

Gotta do what you gotta do, sorry, environment.

2. Sleeping in public places

Somehow sleeping at the library feels more…productive.

3. Not starting a project until 11:00 P.M., despite binge watching HIMYM all day

Chill, Starbucks doesn’t close until midnight.

4. Walking to a random address someone texted you, then just walking in

It’s only sketchy the first couple of times.

5. Going to a meeting for something that doesn’t interest you in the slightest… just for free food.

Free cookies? Sure, I’ll go to the call out meeting for water pilates.

6. Scheduling naps into your day

15-minute gap between lunch and bio? Naptime.

7. Dieting during the week so you don’t have to worry about the calories in your mixed drinks

The logic just isn’t there…

8. Skip class, only to study for a different class

Priorities, man.

9. Slap a bag of wine after drinking out of it

Who even thought of this?

10. Being broke AF, but still spending money on concerts.

OK, I suppose this is more "financially irresponsible" than weird, but whatevs.

11. Not care one bit about their fashion choices

Crocs and a snuggie? You do you, bud.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&so...

12. Not doing laundry for months

So what if that was my eighth time wearing those jeans...

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
