Whether you're a freshman in college or surviving the last few weeks of senior year, we're all guilty of doing the embarrassing, the unthinkable, and the stomach-turning, nerve-wracking thing in our years here. It's supposed to be "one of the best times of our lives" but it wouldn't be without any of these things to look back on and laugh over.
1. Thinking you can easily memorize the same paths to your lectures so that you don't get lost on the first day of classes.
Which resulted in showing up 45 minutes late to Writing 111.
2. Having extremely imaginative thoughts about your professor who's honestly just doing his job
(c'mon).
3. Making the walk of shame to a neighboring building
But somehow still managing to run into your ex-boyfriend of a year, English TA and a gaggle of frat boys making their way to the dining hall.
4. Making a drastic alteration to your look after going through heartbreak.
Like dying your hair a new color, finally cutting your hair the very short length you've said you'd never do and piercing a part of your body your mother would not be proud of.
5. Mustering up the courage to make the first move at the tall basketball player you've been eyeing since getting to the bar.
6. Taking a rather risque Snapchat and snapping it to 5 of the most worthy boys in your contact list.
7. Accidently making said snap your story for .5 seconds and never having been so scared in your life.
8. Shotgunning a beer.
9. Hooking up with a guy from your class and risking the severe awkwardness that will definitely follow the next class.
10. Seeing said boy the next week and pretending as if your last encounter with him wasn't a top 5 experience.
Funny how three days ago you were just another kid suffering through this class with me
11. Making the mistake of hooking up with another boy from another one of your classes, waiting for the inevitable.
12. Seeing said boy the following week and by your dismay, he decides to sit next to you and strike up a conversation about the previous night.
13. Having a bucket list with your boyfriend
We all know what kind of bucket list I'm talking about, am I right ladies?
14. The feeling you feel after crossing off the first place of your bucket list.
15. Shamelessly sleeping through an early class to get much deserved shut eye
Usually because of a certain flow arriving earlier than planned.
16. That one (or more) friend that makes you feel less than completely happy and fulfilled is not a friend.
Cut him or her out.
17. Same goes for the guy you're seeing/your boyfriend.
18. Don't let anyone slut shame you for having the right to sleep with whomever you want to sleep with.
It's 2016.
19. As much of your sh*t that you don't have together, the girl next to you also doesn't so don't freak out.
20. These are one of the best times of your life
Go through all the motions of it: the happy, the sad and the neutral.
