9 Things That Are Completely Acceptable Because You're In College

That wouldn't be acceptable otherwise

9 Things That Are Completely Acceptable Because You're In College
Vox

I never really noticed everything that is totally normal in college that wouldn't be normal if you were in your late twenties. The best excuse my roommates have ever said, "Who cares? You're in college. That's your excuse." And then bippity-boppity bam, nine things that are completely acceptable because you're in college.

1. Going out in public in your PJ's

If you did this at an actual job, you'd be fire the minute you walked in.


2. Dumpster diving for donuts and makeup is low key normal


No matter what anyone says, this is totally okay and sanitary as college students but as an adult, it's a bit concerning.


3. Eating pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner


It's all about the pizza.


4. Skipping class to finish work for another class


But let's be honest, if you skipped your shift for another shift at your other job... That would just be wrong. You'd be fire along with wearing PJs to class.


5. Being weird in public

I am so weird in public.


6. Taking an excessive number of naps


I'm like 98 percent sure if I napped as much as I did if I were 27, someone would probably be concerned about my mental health.


7. Stress Eating


In the adult world, stress eating isn't a thing. Because nobody understands stress like a college student.


8. Throwing yourself a pity party every other day


Once again, if I did this in my late twenties, someone would probably be really concerned for my mental health. But as a college student, it's almost encouraged to throw yourself a pity party every other day.


9. Binge Watching Netflix Shows


Because what kind of adult binge watches all 10 seasons of friends and then all 6 seasons of Shameless? They just don't.

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.
