We all had preconceived notions of what our days at college would be like, but I don't think any of Here are 8 ways your life has changed since you left high school and became a college student:

1. Your professor curses... a lot.

In high school, your teachers couldn't say much of anything regarding politics, religion, or use colorful language. Now that your in college your professor can say those 4-letter words as frequently as he wants to.

2. Your classmates are anywhere from 18-60 years old.

Giphy

In high school, you maybe had a class with a freshman when you were a senior. Now, you have classes with people old enough to be your parents.

3. Seeing a dog is probably the highlight of your day.

Giphy

There were plenty of things going on in high school that you never really paid as much attention as you do now on dogs. In college, you always stop to pet a dog.

4. You're tired... all the time.

Giphy

In high school, you got up at 6am and went to classes until 3pm. Now that you're in college, you can barely wake up for your 12pm lecture.

5. No Snow-Days.

Giphy

High school: It snowed? No school!

College: It snowed? Classes are cancelled?! Check your email for your assignment.

6. You can skip class whenever you want to.

Giphy

In high school, if you tried to skip your 4th period English class, a hall-monitor always found you. In college, no one comes looking for you. You can skip class whenever your heart desires.

7. There's always something to eat.

Giphy

In high school, you could only eat in the cafeteria and weren't allowed to bring food back to class. In college, you can bring in a breakfast sandwich, tater-tots, a donut and a coffee and no one will care.

8. Studying.

Giphy

Ok, so maybe I didn't spend a lot of time studying in high school. In college, most of your time is spent in a study-room or the library. (If you want to pass your classes.)

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
