When you check your college email more than your personal.
Between assignments, campus events, and club meetings, checking your email is no joke. This leaves less time for checking your personal email for all of the junk, promotion, and sale emails from stores that you can't afford to splurge on anymore because you are now a poor college student.
When you learn to fall asleep to the party happening next door.
It's a Tuesday night...you have an 8 am tomorrow...and these fools are playing 'Closer' by the Chainsmokers for the 100th time.
When you figure out all of the dinning hall hacks.
You now know to never use the metal silverware (sorry planet earth looks like I'll be using the clean plastic for the next 4 years). You know which cashiers are going to make you take your card out of your case and which ones average a longer check out time. Also, everyone told you to never use a tray but you wouldn't even know where to get one even if you wanted to.
When you actually do something with all of the clubs and organizations that you signed up for.
Not sure how you're going to go to all of them but you're thirsty for involvement and friends.
When you pull that first all nighter to get your work done.
You say "never again" but you know you'll be back.
When you go out and come back saying "what. a. night."
That is ... if you can even remember "that" night.
When high school feels like it was ages ago.
It may have only been a few months but high school feels like ages ago and your home town is miles and miles away. At some points it can really hurt the heart but most of the time you're enjoying yourself and you are right where you need to be.
