No matter what college you go to or how seriously you take it there are a few things that every college students understand.
1. The amazing sigh of relief when you finally push the submit button on an assignment that has been lingering over your head for weeks; even if you do not do well at least it's over now, right?
2. The freak out moment where you run to career service or your advisor because you don't know what to do with your life or feel like you are completely drowning in the classes you are currently taking for your major, so your whole life is now in a downward spiral.
3. The weird degree of closeness you and your roommates experience after living together for months at a time. Between pity parties after finals week or any tough exam for that matter, embarrassing dance parties in your underwear with the blinds open, countless fashion shows of each other's clothing and awkward boy/hook up story nights you don't know where you'd be without them.
4. The literal week from hell that comes around every month like clockwork where your professors decide to give their exams one day after the other, or sometimes even all on the same day and your whole week is consumed by the library and your textbooks.
5. The overpowering sensation that you feel like you aren't doing enough with your day. You just eat, go to class, nap, and hang out with the people every day, but there is more to college than that right? But, then you realize you don't have the energy to do it all and pick and choose and being able to realize what being an adult really means.
6. The cry for help on the phone once every few months to your parent(s) about how you just want to go home and be taken care of and be fed real food; being on your own and in charge of your own meals and schedule is exhausting and sometimes you just need to go back in time to when things were simpler.
7. The stress of confinement when and if you do not have your car on campus. Your whole life is this little bubble called campus and in order to escape you either have to be best buddies with someone who has their car here or pay hella dollars for an uber and if we are being honest we are college students, where are we supposed to find the kind of money to throw at uber's all the time?
8. The anxiety that rushes through your body when someone in your class walks up and hands in the exam exactly 10 minutes after class started and you just sit there in sheer panic as more and more people slowly hand theirs in when you look down and are only on the fifth question.
9. The terrifying moment when you realize you actually have to go to office hours and see the one professor that puts the “ter” in terrifying because you either are not doing well in the class or because she made a mistake grading something of yours and you are not about to let 2 points slide when you know you are correct. But how can you tell your all knowing professor they f’d up without sounding rude? Let me know when you find out.
