College is a weird time. Not only is it weird but it's the only time in your life where you will be completely sleep deprived most of the time, hungover in class on a very regular basis, a boarder line alcoholic, confused on what the hell is going on half the time, and to top it all off you still have the diet of a seven year old. But that's part of what makes college such a great experience. You meet some great people, and sometimes you bond over having no idea what you're doing with your life.
1. Who Are These People?
This is a very common one. Actually, this question pops into my head more times than it should. Although I see plenty of my friends around campus while walking to class, I still feel as though I'm surrounded by a sea of strangers...hopefully all struggling as much as I am to comprehend what their lives have become. In class I typically sit alone, because lets be real, what friends of mine would seriously want to spend their time taking a computer programming class for fun...oh yeah, NONE. So there I sit, between the Chemical Engineer and the other guy I think I might've had math with freshman year. Either way, I know nobody and so I keep to myself and quietly stare at all of the hieroglyphics written across the board.
2. What Am I Doing with My Life?
I'm a junior in college, and I'm still not 100% confident in my major and minor decision. Why? Because I'm indecisive AF. One morning I'll wake up, embark on my daily journey to class, and think to myself "I love my major, I love my classes, life is freaking peachy." And then there are those times where I literally have a mid life crisis every other day as well as a mental breakdown where I wonder where I went wrong and continue to question what the hell I really want to do with the rest of my life.
3. How Am I Going to Pay For All of This Sh*t?
I still don't have any clue how to answer this question...sorta banking on the thought that I'll have a kick ass job right out of college that pays six figures a year so my college debt won't take nearly as significant as a toll on my future life, but also secretly freaking out that I'll wind up being a fast food employee for the rest of my life and live from paycheck to paycheck. Both fantasies in my head, one completely horrific and the other a mere daydream. Don't get me wrong, I bust my butt to pay for my expensive lifestyle that is being a full time student. I work part time after classes and put money away whenever I receive my paycheck. However, being that I live in Boulder and paying for rent and school and wanting to spend my extra money on unimportant things like food and such, I'm broke literally all the time. No Chainsmokers concert for me, and to be honest, I'm very bitter about it.
4. What Is Happening to My Liver?
I'll just leave this one here. You all know what I'm talking about.
5. How Do Boys Wear Pastel Shorts and Get Away With It?
Okay here's the thing, I'm totally over this whole "salmon colored short" fad. In fact, I was over it when it began back in the 1970's. It's super preppy, super fratty, and super freaking annoying. Wear some khakis or athletic shorts, maybe some sweatpants, I'm even cool with jeans. Just please stop wearing florescent colored pants around and acting like you are the coolest kid on campus.
