As a graduating college senior, I can confidently say that I am ready to move on to the next chapter in my life - whatever that looks like. I will miss college friends and experiences, but I won't miss these 11 school-related items that took a hit on my bank account.

1. Textbooks

Not having to pay over $200/semester just for textbooks we probably won't even use really puts finances in perspective.

2. Rubbermaid Containers

@rubbermaid

You may still have these around your living space, but at least you don't have to cram all of your belongings in tubs under your dorm bed.

3. Cheap utensils

@meredithphoto

Gone are the days of disposable forks.

5. Thumb And Sticky Tack

The most stressful part of decorating a dorm room was finding things that both wouldn't wreck the walls and would keep things up.

5. Heavy duty backpacks

@thekawaiishoppu

The first semester, style wins over practicality. However, every semester after that proves that usefulness is the best way to go. Now you don't have to worry about purchasing an overpriced (but needed) backpack.

6. Bed Risers

@dandalydesign

Now you have the freedom to purchase any bed you want with whatever hight bed frame you choose.

7. Shower Caddies

@uni_shoponline

The freedom of having the space to spread your things out in the shower in unmatched.

8. Insane Amounts Of Stationary And Miscellaneous Supplies

@law.study.habits

No need for six binders and 12 highlighters anymore.

9. Shower Shoes

@lalotactical_mt

Feel free to finally go barefoot in the comfort of your own shower.

10. Rolling Storage Units

@harperandharlowph

Gone are the days where you store all your mugs and K-cups in a rolling metal bin.

11. Mini Fan

@rou_0107

You no longer have to live for that few seconds of cool air while working on homework.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
