20 Bad Habits You Develop While Attending Columbia College

Some of the best years of your life spent in college will have you developing some pretty awful habits. Procrastination and overeating, just to name a few. While attending the mostly female populated private college in Columbia, South Carolina, students will most likely develop some of these bad habits and some more.


  • Hearing gunshots and not being phased at all by them.
  • Spending so much money on food when you're not feeling the cafe
  • Wishing the campus police would run you over a few times


  • Preparing a worthy email even if you realize your professor will write: K. -Sent from iPhone
  • Taking up multiple washers and dryers because you have so much clothes to wash
  • Running to the dining hall at 6:25


  • Getting used to being catcalled while making the daring trip to CVS right across the street
  • Contemplating jumping in front of a car so you avoid a class or two


  • Using your book voucher for Kate Spade or Lilly Pulitzer school supplies
  • Taking an extra slice of pizza while the cafe workers aren't looking

RUN

  • Going to campus activities just for the free food and gifts
  • Calling all freshmen "first years" when they don't go to your school
  • Calculating how many absences you have and how much that will affect your grade


  • Eating cereal for every meal because there's nothing good for the day.
  • Grabbing an extra slice of Oreo creme pie when it has become available
  • Using your print credits at the end of the semester for cute photo collages


  • Sleeping in on MLK or Spears Fest day... Oops.
  • Piling on the macaroni and cheese lunch leftovers for dinner #yas


  • Blaming the faulty wifi for the issues with papers/ assignments being late
  • Splurging at the free store or Koala Pantry


Stay cool, Koalas!

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.

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.
