14 Things Every College Student Is Obsessed With

Everyone knows the college student stereotype: lazy, tired, broke and hungry. The stereotype is totally true and we've developed obsessions to accommodate our college lifestyle. A lot of stuff can apply to high school students, too, but you really start to see your obsessions and addictions when you're on your own having one of your weekly mental breakdowns. But if you weren't obsessed with these before college, you either are now or you will be.

1. Caffeine

How else am I supposed to make it through my 9 a.m. class? Or my 3 p.m.? Or homework?

2. Sleep

Enough said.

3. Netflix


What else am I supposed to do from 4 p.m to 2 a.m?

4. All-You-Can-Eat Buffets


One swipe into the dining hall and I get all of the food I want. I think I'm going to study in the caf today...

5. Food


9 a.m -- hungry. 12 p.m -- hungry. 12:41 p.m. -- hungry. I'm always hungry.

6. Free Stuff

The whole broke-college-student thing is legit. Free T-shirt? Yes please. Free food? Sign me up!

7. Sweatpants


Just be glad I made it to this class.

8. Snapchat

Yes, I will spend three hours watching Snapchat stories today. And yes, I'm going to say how boring this class is on my story.

9. Snow Days


I once played snow roulette for three days. And I won.

10. Naps


What comes 15 minutes before I need to leave for my next class? Nap time.

11. Their Study Spot


I better not catch someone else in my hidden corner in the lounge.

12. Procrastination

Maybe I shouldn't have spent six hours on Netflix...

13. Weekends


TGIF Where the parties at?! J.K. I'm going sleep until 3 in the afternoon.

14. Breaks


Winter break plan: Sleep for five days straight, eat all of the food in the house, don't unpack, have a panic attack the day before I go back.


Don't even act like you aren't obsessed with these. You aren't fooling anyone.

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.

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

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.
