Ever wondered what it's like to be a college student? Here is the average day in the life of a college student:

1. *alarm sounds* snoozes alarm as many times as possible

2. *finally wakes up* "I don't want to be awake this early."

3. *checks e-mail* "No class cancelled, I guess I have to get up."

4. *looks for something to wear to class* "Sweatpants/pajama pants are acceptable, right?"

5. *packs backpack for class* "For all the money I spent on this textbook, we better use it."

6. *looks for something to eat for breakfast* "I don't have enough time to go to the dining hall. Mac 'n' Cheese (or Ramen) for breakfast? Okay."

7. *walks to class* "I. NEED. COFFEE. NOW!"

8. *walks into classroom* "I don't want to be here. I dislike (insert name of professor/classmate)."

9. *finds seat in back corner* "Hopefully this professor won't just randomly call on people, I like to participate when I feel like it."

10. *checks clock during class* "I've only been here for (insert small amount of time). I still have another hour!?!"

11. *gets out of class aka. time for motivational pep talk* "One down, two more to go today. I can do this!"

(Repeat no. 7-9 for each class you have on that day)

12. *falls face first onto bed when you get back to your dorm* "Ah, bed, oh how I've missed you!"

13. *looks at planner/all homework that needs to be done* "I can be super efficient with my time if I have my stress cry now and then transition right into nap."

14. *wakes up from nap* "I should go to the gym before I do some homework, but I'm totally craving (insert name of unhealthy food here)."

15. *looks at bank account, sigh* "I guess its the dining hall, AGAIN."

16. *walks into dining hall* "I hope that there is something good to eat."

17. *looks for something to eat* "Well I guess its (whatever food is edible and available daily aka toast, cereal, salad, grilled chicken, a sandwich, french fries, or ice cream)

18. *eats* "I'm still hungry. Oops, time to start homework."

19. *walks toward library, sees dog* "OMG, puppy!!" *runs across street to pet random dog being walked by owner*

20. *walks into library* "I am your slave."

(insert number of hours later)

21. *looks at clock* "So if I go to bed now I will get just about 6 hours of sleep."

22. *looks back at stack of assignments* "I guess I can sleep when I'm dead. Another day, another all-nighter."

23. *finally gets to bed* "Oh bed, I never want to leave you." *alarm sounds*

(Repeat process 5 days a week for 8 months a year for at least 4 years of your life)

There you have it, you have experienced a day as a college student.Add a social life, a job or participation in an activity and the daily routine you just went through is a hell of a lot more exhausting.

"The best years of your life" is a phrase commonly used to describe college. That is true, but there is a lot more to college than drinking and going out to parties.

People criticize our generation for not being prepared for the "real world", but if we can conquer college, we definitely will be prepared to take on the "real world".
