15 Ways College Students Are Basically Kindergartners

College is rough. There are many times when students find themselves wanting to sleep, eat, and cry all at the same time. They are under large amounts of stress and sometimes, they wish that they could just head back to their younger years. After thinking about it, there are lots of ways that college students are like kindergartners. They have it pretty nice; the similarities are kind of awesome. Here are the many ways that college students are like kindergartners!

1. They don't understand what their teacher/professor says during class.

What? That seriously doesn't make any sense!

2. They only see the TA or the principal when there is something wrong.

I did something bad, didn't I?

3. They talk back to the teacher or professor.

I shouldn't have said that. Me and my big mouth.

4. They always say what's on their mind.

Kindergartners speak their mind. So do college kids. They are truly one in the same.

5. All they want to do is play outside.

But instead, they are stuck inside in class. Apparently, there is thing called the sun! Who knew?

6. They don't want to do homework.

Nope, nope, nope, and nope. There are tons of other things that they could be....want to be...doing.

7. They cry...a lot.

The alphabet is stressful. Chemical Nanotechnology is stressful. Don't judge.

8. They wear what they want and don't care what other people think.

They are too busy worrying about classes and converting oxygen into carbon dioxide to worry about what they wear to class.

9. They want food...all the time.

Why can't snack time be all the time?

10. They can't wait to go home.

All they want to do is leave class. Why can't class be over? It's just a simple request!

11. They have no money.

Crayons, markers, cool lunchboxes, and textbooks. Those really start to add up.

12. They want to sleep all the time.

What else would you decide to do when you have a big test coming up? Kindergarten is hard, college is hard, and naps are easy.

13. They think everything is funny when they're exhausted.

You just reach that point where everything is hysterical.

14. They desperately search for friends.

But man, once they have them, they will last a long time.

15. They aren't afraid to be different.

Kindergarten is a time for growth. You're in a new place and you are just starting out. College isn't that different. One is able to start fresh, grow, and be themselves.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
