College students all around the world will agree these are only a few of the things they love.

1. Fire alarms

In the shower? No worries! 3 a.m.? The fire alarm has got you. Here’s a few tips for you: don’t shower with the bathroom door open, don’t straighten your hair under the fire sprinkler, or put your popcorn in the microwave for more than two minutes. Also, feel free to scream on your pillow in order to walk out the door cool, calm and collected.

2. Stopping at every floor

Living on the top floor of freshman housing, you experience a lot of unpleasant awkward moments. Like when you get on the elevator on the first floor and stop at every single floor because someone wanted to get off at the second floor. Or even worse, when you get on the elevator from the fourth floor and someone gets on with you only to get off at the third floor… And let’s talk about awkward. Do you acknowledge there is another human being in there with you? Make eye contact? Smile and hope they don’t think you’re a creep? It’s better to look at the ground while riding the elevator.

3. The closing of the cafeteria at the most inconvenient times

College students are in need of brain food. Brain food is needed at all hours of the day. What happens when I’m in need of a snack and my room has already been raided for all that it is worth? God knows the cafeteria food is not the best, but as a college student, you take what you can get.

4. No money

It gets old asking your parents for money. It gets old not having money, period. It gets old having to plan ahead and not have any spur-of-the-moment lunch dates with friends or shopping sprees. It’s an everyday occurrence, and boy, do we love that feeling…

5. Sitting alone

There’s bound to be a day in your schedule when none of your friends have a free lunch hour and you have to sit all alone, with nobody there beside you. It sucks and people pity you so you must resort to sitting in the back corner of the cafeteria so no one stares at you as you sit on your phone and pick at your food.

Man, is being a college student fun.
