1. Wake up as late as possible (sometimes unfortunate students end up with 8 a.m.s)

This is vital to college in general. We love sleep. How did we get up at 6/7 a.m. for high school? I am literally a zombie walking to my 8 a.m.

2. Struggle with parking.

No matter when you check the JMU parking app, it seems like the lots are always full. And when they're not, when you get there, it ends up being full. Half of the time you have to stalk people to their cars or pay for parking in Mason lot (I didn't pay $200+ for no parking).

3. Go to class half asleep.

You write down everything the professor is writing down or talking about or is on the PowerPoints but do not retain any of it. So, you end up having to look it over again to see what the heck is actually going on in the class.

4. Go to Starbucks or Dunkin' for your daily coffee.

Because you desperately need a pumpkin spice latte now. Not only for the good taste but to keep yourself awake when heading to your next class. The workers definitely know my name and my drink choice by now. I feel a bit guilty about it.

5. Pass by the quad to pet the quad cats and the puppies that JMU students bring.

The quad cats and the dogs are the best part of passing through if you are on that side of campus. Heading over to a class where you have a test? Pet a quad cat or dog for stress relief.

6. Go home and nap.

Every college student needs naps. We need them more than kindergarteners do. Why don't we get nap time? Even if it's for twenty minutes, we could get all of the sleep we can get, considering cramming for tests is a popular trend in college when you have so much going on.

7. Try to eat dinner before pre-gaming.

If you are about to go out on a Friday, it's very important to eat some dinner before you go out. So, you end up eating at Dukes, downtown, or make dinner at home with your roommates before (I'd personally go to Billy Jack's).

8. Pregame.

This is typically the calm before the storm (not for all though — sometimes you end up missing out on the night). Call up your closest friends and head to an apartment or townhouse because you're about to make each other down drinks before the sober or Uber arrives.

9. Go out (or stay in with your roommates).

Wherever it may be--a fraternity, apartment party, or even staying in with friends.

10. Dance the night away.

I better hear Fergalicious, Despacito, Yeah! in that order exactly. Just kidding, but there better be some poppin' music or us ladies are going to leave.

11. Order late night food.

This is all that you've been waiting for. That cheesy bread or tutti gusti is so close as you count the minutes of your last call, waiting for the delicious delivery to come. Only then will the night be complete.
