Ah, college. The best of times...the worst of times...and the terrifying of times. Just about every college student can relate to these downright chilling experiences.
Fair warning: the upcoming fears might just be too horrifying to handle.
1. Having a fire drill mid-shower
College fire drills give a whole new meaning to "naked and afraid"
2. Having every intention to actually go to class, but ultimately sleeping through it
Sometimes, your body will just sleep through a very important class, no matter how many alarms you set.
3. Finding nothing edible in the cafe
Welp. Looks like I'm going hungry today.
4. Eating way too much takeout and being totally convinced you gained 100 lbs overnight
It's a proven fact that every time you order cheesy bread from Domino's, you'll regret it immediately after.
5. Knowing nobody in your classes next semester.
Where do you sit? Who do you ask for homework help? What about group projects?!
6. Asking a seemingly normal question in class, but actually sounding like a total idiot.
Yes. There is such thing as stupid questions. Please, God, don't let me ask one.
7. Swiping your card at the register and having absolutely zero money on it.
The sheer embarrassment
8. Dropping your toothbrush on the bathroom floor.
Try not to vomit. Try not to vomit.
9. Showing up to class only to find out there's a giant exam you were not aware of.
"I'm fine," you say as you're screaming internally.
10. Walking out of class only to find out it's monsooning outside.
Why do we never have our umbrellas when we need them??
11. Running late to class and trying to pick out an outfit, only to realize you haven't done laundry in ages.
Is this what rock bottom looks like?
12. Logging in to check on your final grades.
Well, I think I did well in Econ. Then again, see Fear #2.
13. Walking into the shower only to see a giant clump of grimy hair on the wall
This might just be worse than seeing a spider while shampooing.
14. Your roommate coming down with something.
Oh god. Spray Lysol everywhere. Frantically use Purelle. The end is near...good luck at health services. You'll need it.
15. Only having one in class final....on the last day of finals
I really wanted to be the last sign of life on campus.
16. Having one minute left before the registration lottery opens up...and having the WiFi go out.
$50,000 A YEAR AND I CAN'T HAVE MORE RELIABLE WIFI?!
17. Your Snapchat story Saturday morning.
Oh god. The horror.
18. Forgetting your key to your room when you shower.
And then making that walk of shame to the RA's room in a towel to have them unlock your door.
19. Fear of all work whatsoever.
Turns out this is a real condition called ergophobia. I definitely have it.
