40 Things I've Heard College Students Say

College sometimes (read: always) gets the best of us. It gets hard to use your brain or make sense after being in the library for six hours on a Monday night. Sometimes your brain is, like, "you're on your own, today" and leaves you to drown. Here are some examples of just exactly it means when you get College Brain:

“Did Hurricane Katrina happen?”

“Drinking doesn’t even do anything to your liver, they just say that.”

“If a tree fell onto my car my dad would probably blame me.”

“I can either eat or go out tonight.”

“I have to go to a funeral, but its going to be pretty fun, I think.”

“Can your stomach fall out?”

“I’ve been sick since the first week of January.”

“I have no idea where my car is.”

“They put Benadryl in their drinks.”

“People only voted for me because I had an American flag in my video and that would be, like, a hate crime if you didn’t.”

“You live so close to Mexico Trump will probably deport you.”

“The dining hall makes me feel like I’m at a barbecue.”

“I miss my mom.”

“I want to go home and just, like, lay down.”

“Yo, bro, gimme, like, three dollars, no dude, I need a yogurt parfait.”

“I would do anything just to see a dog right now.”

“I need to go to church, I’m not gonna, but I need to.”

“There’s a baby in the dining hall, I’m leaving.”

“You should seriously see a doctor.”

“Are these marks on the wall from a high heel?”

“I think I gave myself a concussion, by accident this time.”

“I accidentally got wicked drunk.”

“Should we start a fight?”

“Throw a drink.”

“If you see me itch my face, that means I’m itching for a scrap.”

“I did not fall on the floor in that restaurant I made a choice to be on the floor.”

“I really think my parents hate me.”

“That's pretty heteronormative of you.”

“How many beers can I drink before I’m drunk?”

“Can people drink jäger?”

“You look really bad, I’m being a friend.”

“Do you think my professor likes me, like, like likes?”

“You just let me walk around with a booger in my nose?”

“I don’t want a drink, do you think he’ll just give me the seven dollars?”

“I don’t really like my boyfriend.”

“You have throw up in your hair.”

“Where is Donald Trump taking healthcare?”

“Do you think if I call my mom she’ll come get me from the bar?”

“I’m getting cut off, not at the bar, like, by my parents I think.”

“I’m way too gay for this shit.”

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.
