Now that you have walked across the stage in your cap and gown, been given a piece of paper, and switched your tassel to the left, you have officially entered the mysterious and hypothetical "real-world." While this magical world is not at all different from the world in which you've been living for the past four years, there are just a few things you have become accustomed to that just won't fly here anymore.
These 12 things that used to fly in college are very much so frowned upon in this new world and may result in legal action if you attempt them. So... don't!
1. Getting blackout drunk near the pool midday
Even in college, this is pretty questionable..fun..but questionable.
2. Barging into your neighbor's house unannounced while they may or may not be home
In said "real-world" this is known as breaking and entering.
3. Filling up your gas tank $5-8 dollars at a time
In this new world, you will most likely have more places to go than just home to campus and back again with the occasional trip to the grocery store.
4. Wearing the same outfit a few days in a row
We all do it, but nonetheless, it's still disgusting and highly frowned upon.
5. Staying in bed until 4 p.m. watching Netflix and not changing into normal clothes
Once you get out of college doing this just becomes concerning. In college = approved to waste your day away staring at a screen, out of college = big no-no. Why? I don't know...seems fine in both situations to me.
6. Shower beers
Contrary to popular belief these are not that common outside of a college campus.
7. Designating certain days to specific alcohol
No more margarita Mondays, tequila Tuesdays, wine Wednesdays... OK maybe every so often.
8. Flat out skipping things you do not want to go to
Would not recommend skipping meetings for work, they seem to be a little more important than the gen-ed class you showed up to once.
9. Spending the entirety of your money on Chipotle, wine, and 3 a.m. pizza
10. Using everything imaginable as dishware besides actual dishes
Examples: using a red solo cup for cereal, mason jars for drinks, and stealing MANY Chipotle forks to use as backups.
Usually, this is because the dishwasher has been neglected and for some reason, you'd rather go to great lengths to find something to eat off of rather than just staring the washer.
11. Decorating your apartment by lining up empty bottles of alcohol
We get it you drink.
12. Not doing laundry until it is absolutely necessary
... and even then putting it off longer.
