9 Reasons Why Kindergartners And College Kids Aren't That Much Different

Sometimes we cry for no reason at all and want our mommy.

1. We need regular naps to function.

For college kids, it might be in between classes, before chapter, or before a long night in the library. For kindergartners, naps are needed during and after school. But regardless of when, where, or age, college kids and kindergartners share a need for sleep.

2. Oh, and snacks, too.

Kindergartners and college kids alike commonly use the phrase, "You got any snacks?" Because let's face it, snacks are important.

3. Sometimes we cry for no reason at all.

College kids and little kids just need a good cry every once in a while, even if it is for no reason. It's kind of like a detox when college kids have a lot of stress, and kindergartners have a lot of emotions that they need to get rid of.

4. Sometimes all we want is our mom.

When my mom dropped me off at my first day of kindergarten I cried my eyes out because I didn't want her to leave me. When she dropped me off at college, I might've celebrated more than I should have. But regardless, even as a college student, sometimes I just needed my mommy.

5. Or food.

6. Or we just need another nap.

Naps in a bed, naps on a couch, rainy day naps, naps in the middle of the day, naps during school, group naps, car ride naps. NAPS ARE IMPORTANT. I believe everyone should get two naps at least once a day.

7. We have no money.

Money just isn't a thing when you're a little kid or a college student. So, really, your options are begging your parents for money or waiting until Christmas or your birthday rolls around so people will give you money. Or, you know, a lemonade stand.

8. We beg our parents for the things we want.

Whether it is candy at the grocery store, or in a college kid's case, just groceries in general, kindergartners and college kids are constantly begging for more money.

9. We just want to be with our friends.

Kindergartners might play with their friends on the playground, and college kids are the exact same way, except our playground is bars and fraternity parties. But whatever kind of playground, it's always more fun when you have your squad with you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
