13 Things That are Only Socially Acceptable in College

Once you leave high school, you prepare for a whole new world of sophistication. However, it does not take long to realize that college might not be as high-end as you thought. If you are a college student, you have definitely seen, and probably done, some of these things that are NOT cool in high school but are totally normal on a college campus.


1. Wearing Your Pajamas Out In Public

Going to breakfast on Saturday morning? Going to your 8am class? Who needs pants? Pajamas for life.

2. Having Dinner at 11pm

I had a really busy day, okay?! I also took a 4 hour nap....


3. Having Two Dinners Because You Ate the First One at 6:30 and Now It's 2am

Hey, a girl's gotta eat, right?


4. Sleeping Until Noon During the Week

No morning classes? Sweet!


5. Eating Mac and Cheese Multiple Days in a Row

The question is are you an Annie's, Kraft, or Velveeta kind of person?


6. Sleeping in Public Places

Okay if you are telling me that you haven't fallen asleep in the library at least once you are straight up LYING.

7. Day Drinking

Homecoming means waking up around nine on a Saturday to start drinking. Mimosas, anyone?


8. Going to McDonald's or Chic-Fil-A at Least Three Times a Week

Gotta love some chicken nuggets and frozen lemonade. They have salads too, so don't judge me. I'm just too lazy to make my own food or walk anywhere.

9. Cold Pizza for Breakfast

If it's from last night, it's fair game.


10. Asking Random People if you Can Pet Their Dog

"OH MY GOSH HE'S SO CUTE WHAT'S HIS NAME CAN I PET HIM HOW OLD IS HE HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD HIM IS HE YOUR ONLY DOG OH MY GOSH LOOK AT HIS LITTLE EARS HE'S SO FLUFFY AND CUTE AND I WANT TO KEEP HIM!"


11. Not Doing Laundry for a Couple Weeks and Doing the "Pit-sniff" Test

No clean shirts? No problem. Just smell the armpit of one left on your chair or floor. If you don't smell anything, no one else will either.


12. Excessive Napping

Pour up (Nap). Head shot (Nap). Sit down (Nap). Stand up (Nap). Pass out (Nap). Wake up (Nap). Faded (Nap). Faded (Nap).


13. Losing Your Phone/Keys/Wallet/Life Almost Every Weekend

Find my iPhone is literally the most helpful app ever invented.

Enjoy these things now, people, because when you get to the real world a few things will have to change. College is a bubble totally different from anywhere else, full of new experiences and fun with friends. Just make sure to leave some of these habits behind when you leave.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
