College Students Are the Same as 5-Year-Olds

We both really love naps…

College Students Are the Same as 5-Year-Olds

The moment students enter college we think we are invincible. Finally we're adults with responsibilities and independence. It is time to act mature and grow up.

Joke's on us.

If there is anything that college has taught me, it is that I am more like a 5-year-old now than any at any other point in my life. From the things we eat to the way we act, we are more like 5-year-olds than we realize.

1. Poptarts, Kraft Mac n’ Cheese and fruit snacks all constitute parts of our daily diet.


“Hello kind dining hall server. May I please receive pasta, bread and more pasta? And please don’t let anything green touch my plate.

2. Naptime is the best time of our days.

Anytime, anywhere.

3. Morning is our least favorite time of day.


Let's just go back to nap time, shall we?

4. Our mood changes from laughing to crying in seconds.

The “I don’t know what I’m doing with my life" crisis is all too real.

5. We both play hide and seek.

Except now it’s hiding from your ex and his/her girlfriend/boyfriend.

6. No matter how old we get, we still need our parents.


“Mom, I need you to come rescue me because the real world is weird and scary, and I hate it.”

7. We expect someone else to clean up our messes.

“Don’t worry about leaving dishes on the dining hall table. Isn’t that the job of the dining hall servers anyways.” –every ignorant college student ever

8. Our concentration levels are nonexistent.

There's homework...but then there's also Netflix. After all, what's just one episode?...or two?

9. We eat with our hands.

The lowest point of college is when you realize you've run out of dish soap and aren't going to the store for the next week.

10. Germs don’t phase us.

Haven’t washed your sheets since college started? Well, what’s one more week?

11. Little things get us really excited.

“I didn't fail my exam today! I'm not going to be a college dropout WOOHOOO!"

12. We're both perpetually broke.

Free things? Sign me up!

13. Those 'epic fail' moments happen to us every day.


When you try to impress your crush but you end up making an even bigger fool out of yourself. #leavingthecountryforever

14. We still think we're the coolest thing since sliced bread.

No matter how many times your friends tell you that you can't dance, you never listen to them.

You're never too old to let your inner child shine. Sure, you may not have enough cash to buy food that's not Ramen noodles. Maybe you still don't know what you want to do with your life. At the end of the day, you know it'll be okay. One day you'll grow up and be an adult, but for now you're just having fun in the moment.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
