I'm going to tell you a secret that will blow your mind.

Our parents were once college kids too.

Shocker? I know. It's hard to wrap our heads around the fact that they were once carefree, careless kids much like we are now. It's true. And I'll be honest and say I was a little nervous when I asked several parents about their younger years.

WARNING: YOU NEVER LOOK AT YOUR PARENTS THE SAME WAY AGAIN.

1. They stayed out all night

2. They dated a lot

Third times the charm...or four...or 20.

3. They went to concerts

To think they saw Snoop Dog when he first came out. Smh.

4. They took their parents car without them knowing

5. They had topless adventures

SPRRRIIIINNGGGGBRREEAAAAKKKK!!!!!

6. They smoked

I wonder who was the Kelso of the group?

7. They drank

8. They partied...hard

Go big or go home, am I right?

9. They had fakes

To vote I'm sure.

10. They cheated the system

Cause technology just wasn't has strict back then.

11. They had sex

Wait...we weren't delivered by storks?

12. They wore their pajamas out in public

13. They skipped school

It was so easy without all that high-tech security system every school seems to have these days.

14. They ditched class

Why stay the whole day if you don't need to?

15. They slept in odd places

The floor, the porch, the pool table. Yep, relatable.

16. They slept out at the girlfriend/boyfriend's

So you're saying you didn't sleep at Diana's?

17. They told lies

Maybe that's why they can tell when we're lying.

18. They threw parties when their parents were out of town

19. They pulled all-nighters

Clearly it's a universal thing.

20. They used their friends' older siblings for alcohol

It's all about who you know.
