1. You don't have enough time in your day.
Literally, you do not. There is not enough time in one day for class, studying, eating, maintaining friendships, having a social life and sleeping. Something's gotta give.
2. You're always tired.
As per the previous statement, when you're trying to fit 26 hours of activities into one 24-hour day, it's tiring.
3. Naps are your best friend.
If somehow you've been blessed with an extra couple of minutes, a nap is definitely the move.
4. You've experienced the freshman 15.
Whether you actually put on fifteen pounds, or went through the freshman 15 dollars in your bank account, you can relate.
5. You can barely afford anything.
Even if you're one of the lucky ones that have been bless with your parents' credit cards, you're still broke. Hell- you've probably even sent a dad, I need five more dollars to make it through the week text.
6. You don't like being sick.
Gone are the days where you'd pray (even metaphorically) that your mom would decide you're "sick" enough to skip school. Plus, when you're dying with the flu, she's not there to take care of you. This is college; ain't nobody got time for a sick day.
7. You have a love/hate relationship with syllabus week.
You are paying $999/credit hour so it seems like a waste of time. But on the other hand, you're definitely loving syllabus week when you're 4 drinks in at your local shitty bar.
8. You methodically weigh the pro's and con's of skipping class.
Whether it's convincing yourself you'll study if you skip your afternoon class or calculating the possibility of your professor giving a quiz, don't lie, you've done it.
9. Go out or stay in?
Some weeks you're Social Sally and other weeks you're Debbie Downer. Either you're in a rut and Netflix is life, or you've actually made an adult decision this time and stayed in instead of going out.
10. You've felt the deep-rooted feeling of missing an assignment.
You're in class and you forgot to do an assignment. Instantly, your mind starts searching for excuses. Your grandma died. No, I've already lost two grandmas this semester. You got into a car accident and your homework flew out the window. Wait, if I got into a car accident, why am I even here? Maybe it's easier just to go for a classic. Printer problems.
11. Having free time and convincing yourself you'll be productive.
Your class is canceled. When you find out you think about all the homework you can accomplish in that one hour and a half block. Somehow, you end up sleeping instead.
12. You're either an 8am or a 8pm class taker.
There are two types of people in the world. 1) the 8am advanced calculus guy or 2) the I've never even seen the sky at 8am guy.
13. You. Hate. Parking.
If you don't understand, you probably don't have a car and you should never get one.
14. When you got to college you wondered how adults made friends.
You still don't know the answer.
15. You're not sure if you need an internship.
Apparently, to set yourself apart you're suppose to evolve into a super breed of college student called an \in-ˈtərn\.
16. You dread advising appointments.
17. You don't know what to major in.
After going through every profession in your head, you still can't see yourself being a nurse or a lawyer or a therapist or a veterinarian.
18. Finally picking a career path, or at least a major, eases your mind.
Maybe it's not what you'll actually end up doing but having a plan takes 1,000 pounds off your shoulders.
19. You know the underage struggle.
Happy birthday my ass. There's nothing fun about being twenty.
Welcome to college ʘ‿ʘ
