Over the past year or so, I've had a billion snapchats and so I decided, recently, to go through them. As I was going through them, I thought about how they are actually hilarious and how they explain college perfectly without even trying. Here's 20 videos that explain college.
1. Myself last year, an awkward freshman
We all know we had that moment when moving in where we felt like the coolest people in the world. Or maybe that was just me.
2. "I'm Poor"
After our first college tour, we were already stressed. It's safe to say that feeling never went away.
3. "I hate myself"
Every time you do something wrong, you think about the fault within your being instead of just within your actions. It's facts, I hear this probably 200 times a day from people after getting a problem wrong. Petty.
4. "What is this shit?"
A constant thought in college, most specifically in math. Facts.
5. Asking your friend what their favorite thing to do is
It's safe to say she loves being with me, obviously. Be sure to ask if they're joking or not because the last thing you need is to be alone, with a painted face, listening to sad R&B songs in your fuzzy pants. That's a mess.
6. Introducing your family to your new friends?
Maybe in this case, it's a hard no for you.
7. A professor doesn't care?
Thats a whole mess, but it could happen!
8. You skip class
Take a break, call a friend, eat ice cream, watch a movie......BUT GET YOUR ASS TO CLASS.
9. A professor explaining a syllabus
"Little things just piss me off." Dually noted.
10. A breakdown
It'll happen a few times...or more...Yup, probably more.
11. You end first semester thinking you're all that AND a bag of chips
Lol I can't even
12. Studying turns into running around class buildings
Sometimes you need a break, so take one! I recommend not running around buildings, but honestly do whatever floats your boat.
13. Your friends teach you dances
I'll let you know when I learn how to do it. But still....take a break and try!
14. Your roommate jumps in your bed all the time
And when I say all the time, I mean all the time.
15. Listening to 90s bops instead of doing homework
Play music out loud! Everything needs a soundtrack, honestly.
16. Playing too much?
Then you'll hear this come out of a professor's mouth.
17. You don't see everyone often because you're busy
You miss everyone because you never see them, but when you do see them it's the greatest reunion feeling of all time.
18. You know who your friends are, and you know you couldn't do it without them
Who else are you going to stretch with?
19. But then you move out :(
Moving out is such a sad day, but knowing that the bonds you've made are going to stay means so much more than anything.
20. But the bond you've made will never end
The encouragement, support, and laughs you get from those around you can literally change your life.
Even going through these memories now warms my heart and reminds me that there's still so much I don't even know yet. The truth is, though, that these videos explain college better than my words could. Trust me.
