College is great, college is fun, but not everyone understands college lingo. It’s true, only the hippest of people go to college. Okay, maybe not, but whatever. I have learned a lot of things in my fast year and a half of college, but the most valuable of things that I have learned thus far is the college lingo.
Here are some phrases/words that us college kids use on the day-to-day basis just to survive.
Shit Show
This short phrase is the queen of all phrases, like, I’m not even close to kidding you. Everything in college is a shit show, and if you can't relate, then do you even college?
Let's Call an Uber.
Let's just take a moment to thank the Lord for Uber. I mean, really, Uber has saved all of our lives a COUNTLESS number of times. Long live Uber!
It’s LIT.
'Lit' is a very valuable asset to the college student’s hip lingo. Lit is the newest and coolest version of fire. I mean, if it's not lit, you don’t want anything to do with it in college.
It’s Fine, Everything’s Fine.
No one really understands the amount of stress that us college students are under. I mean, come on, you try managing schoolwork, partying, grocery shopping, keeping up personal hygiene and just trying to survive. It's not possible, people. So by saying 'it's fine, everything’s fine,' it's just like you're saying 'everything is not fine, please help me,' but you know they aren’t going to help you, so you just say it to help yourself.
ILYSM
I love you so much. This is a very important one, because you just don’t have enough time to type out the words. Life as a college student is just way too stressful, but you still need to tell your friends you love them, so bam, God bless ILYSM; it's there whenever you need it. Faithful and forever true, ILYSM.
Hot Mess
My personal favorite is 'hot mess,' because it's just so relatable. Hot mess is a good way of saying that your life is in shambles, but you’re still looking good while drowning in your sorrows. Everything is a hot mess and everything is fine.
So now that I’ve given you the basics in shit shows, calling Ubers, being lit to the point where you’re basically on fire, having your life in a mess but everything’s fine, ILYSM and the beauty of hot messes, I feel as if now, you’ll be able to go forth in this world of college times and prosper.
This is quite a time to be alive, people; get lit, because you're now hip.
