College Is Not - OK, Maybe A Little - Like 'A Different World'

Welcome to my college experience as told through "A Different World" pictures.

College Is Not - OK, Maybe A Little - Like 'A Different World'

In This Article:

"A Different World" was a TV show I binged watched on Netflix three times over the course of summer 2016. "A Different World" was a hit 90s show that originally centered around Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) as she headed off to college. Although Hillman College is an HBCU (Historically Black College/University) and I attend a PWI (Predominately White Institution), I still had great expectations for what my college experience was going to be like. I initially thought that the show was not like my college experience at all, but once I actually started to think about it, it does reflect in its weird way.

Friendships 

For starters, the relationships that I have created with people seem more genuine than in high school. It feels like I can be friends with these people for a lifetime and I never felt like that before.

Relationships 

Oh, romantic relationships, they are there. I love love.

Well...

Self-explanatory here.

Caring Professors 

I have had some pretty inspiring professors at the University I attend. Especially the ones who care about my success not only as a student but as a student of color. They keep me going.

Study buddies! 

I am not the type to study in groups BUT studying with other people in the library, dining halls, and the student center has been my favorite past time.

Phone calls

Calling my godmother about everything. That was me.

Broke and boogie 

The university has high key taught me how to be boogie. I'm balling on a budget but buying fancy stuff anyway.

"What's your sign?" 

I have never met so many people who love horoscopes and signs until I came to college but...

 And lastly, 

My experience so far has been filled with different perspectives, different ideas, and different people.

It has been a different world for me.

But I'm enjoying every bit of it.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
