7 Things College Students Do That Are Actually Really Weird

College is low-key one of the weirdest parts of life, mostly because we, as college students, have the ability to do things that we normally wouldn't. Without the constraints of our parents, a solid schedule, or just general judgement from others, we sometimes do things on a daily basis that are just plain weird. Next time you do one of these things, remember how odd it would be if you did it at home during high school.

1. Eating full meals at literally any time of the day.

Steak and eggs at 11 p.m.? Cereal at 6 p.m.? Chicken fingers and fries at 2 a.m.? Cereal again at 10 a.m.? And the cycle continues.

2. Posting snapchat stories with the library geotag.

Why are we so obsessed with doing this? Is anyone actually studying, or do we just venture to the library for the snapchat world to think we are? The world may never know.

3. Setting an alarm for 2:43 for your 3 o'clock class when you got back to your room at 2:30.

Those 13 minutes of sleep are vital to life.

4. Waking up at the crack of dawn for a tailgate only to skip the game to take a nap.

Unless you go to a huge football school, most people just rally for the tailgate and have little to no interest in the athletics. Drunk eating and sleeping for the rest of your Saturday is a much better idea.

5. Bringing your entire wardrobe to school, but only wearing your friends' clothes.

What are across-the-hall neighbors for? The likelihood that you wear all of your clothes, and that you leave school with all of the clothes you brought, is insanely small.

6. Dressing for summer to go out regardless of how cold it is.

Thirty degrees outside, but you wanna go to the bar? Shorts and a crop top it is! Your body will not thank you later.

7. Waiting until at least 11 to go out.

This may explain why naps are so important: college students cannot fathom leaving for a night out at an early time. Arriving at the party before midnight is essentially social suicide at many schools.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
