1. Naps are very IMPORTANT.
It's basically your favorite part of the day. There is nothing like coming back from class just to crawl back in your bed for a couple hours before beginning your night.
2. You reward yourself for studying for 10 minutes with 2+ hours of Netflix.
Netflix is a rabbit hole that you can easily fall down. Next thing you know, your GPA is falling down it as well.
3. The ultimate procrastinator you've now become. Don't lie, we all are.
You promise yourself every year that you will do better. You never do.
4. Late night food runs with your best friend. No matter the time Cookout ALWAYS sounds good.
Your waistline and wallet might not agree, but it is.
5. Sweatpants pants become part of your daily life.
Sweatpants dirty? That's okay. There are always yoga pants or leggings. What are pants?
6. The word "Free" is what you live by. Especially if there is free food.
A college students' two favorite words: Free and Food. Put them together and we are completely at your mercy.
7. Forcing yourself to stay awake during lecture.
No I totally wasn't asleep because I spent way too much time on Netflix last night.
8. Having FREEDOM for the first time in your life.
No curfew? No rules? I'm the captain now. And I say that I can eat Lucky Charms for every meal and have no bedtime.
9. But realizing you have to become an adult soon...THE HORROR.
And consequently realizing that you are terrible at adulting. Your dirty clothes are piling up so high they may overtake the pile of dishes in the sink and you have no clue where your pet turtle is.
10. 8 am classes are the devil.
Hey I did it in High School! I can do it in college! No. No, you can't. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you can. You will spend plenty of half-awake time regretting that decision.
11. You count down the days to any school break. Only 134 days until Fall break.
Your planner starts to look like a number chart with all of the countdowns you have going.
12. Going to bed before 2:30 a.m. is considered to be "early."
I've got a big day tomorrow, I better get some sleep. Suuuure. That quickly turns into, "Hey, why is the sun coming up?"
13. You learn to sleep anywhere during finals; the library, the grass, the bench outside, your car, you name it.
I have been known to take a pillow and blanket to an empty classroom to catch a couple Z's while using it as a study room. What? It's cold in there.
14. You realize how much you miss your family pet(s) and cannot wait to embrace them into your arms again.
The feeling of having them run to you when you walk in the door is better than anything. Your mom may balk at the amount of dirty clothes you brought home, but Coco never will.
15. Your four years as an undergrad as flown by and if you could you would do it all over again.
You're finished with college. What now? Oh no. Not adulting.
