As college students, we like to pretend that we're fully independent. What we should probably come to terms with, though, is that throwing a load of laundry in the wash once a week doesn't make us adults. A lot of us still rely on our parents in many ways, and not only that, but we have the eating and sleeping habits of young children. When it comes down to it, college kids are just overgrown toddlers. We have way too many things in common to argue otherwise.
1. Naps
Just because you’re not five years old doesn’t mean you don’t want to sleep fifteen hours per day.
1. Temper Tantrums
You will fail tests, and you will cry about it. You will see a cute dog, and you’ll cry about that too. There won’t be pizza in the dining hall when you need it most, and you’ll have to put all of your strength into not screeching in front of everyone.
3. Sharing (or Not)
Your food is your food, and nobody else’s.
4. SpongeBob References
If you tell me you've never sang "Krusty Krab Pizza" on the way to get food, I'm going to assume you're lying.
5. Dress Up
There will come a time at which you will force your roommate to watch you parade around your dorm room in the new clothes you just bought.
6. Snack Time
AKA nonstop eating throughout the entire day.
7. Pajama Day
This tends to happen once or twice a week.
8. Copying Friends
If they're wearing sweatpants, so are you. And if they're dressing nicely, you'll try your best to look like a human rather than a potato with legs.
9. Financial Status
At times, you probably have just as much money as you did when you were three years old.
10. Being Clueless
“What do you plan to do after graduation?” is a question you avoid like the plague.
Being an overgrown toddler isn't necessarily a bad thing. They're a lot cuter than us, so honestly, I wouldn't mind being compared to them for as long as humanly possible.
