College is better than high school in many ways. But the freedom that comes with college can also be dangerous, you miss your parents and your dogs more than you thought you would. Staying up late is fun and exciting, but the next day you wish you would have gotten the required eight hours of sleep for your early class. Here's a list of what I think the pros and cons of college are.
PROS:
1. No curfew.
2. You can eat pizza for dinner every night.
3. Everywhere is within walking distance Freshman year.
4. New friends.
5. You can wear Nike shorts to class.
6. Most classes you can have your phone in.
7. Classes don't last all day like high school.
8. On some days you can only have one class, or even no classes.
9. Dining halls have dessert bars.
10. It's normal to stay up until 3 a.m.
11. Most of your classes don't have homework every night.
12. You get to redecorate your room basically every year.
13. You have something to do every weekend.
14. You can finish a whole Netflix season in a week and people think its impressive.
15. Your little sister isn't there to steal clothes from your closet.
CONS:
1. No curfew, making your 8 a.m. the next morning a lot harder to wake up for.
2. You can eat pizza for dinner every night and there's no one there to make you eat your vegetables so the Freshman 15 becomes a reality.
3. Everywhere is in walking distance and you very rarely leave campus all of Freshman year.
4. You make new friends, and miss your old ones like crazy.
5. There's no dress code for class, and some people take that a little too far.
6. Most classes everyone has their phone out, and then you walk out of that class realizing you didn't pay attention at all and you are not prepared for that test next week.
7. You don't have class all day, and you should probably spend that time studying, instead you go back to your room and nap for seven hours.
8. You don't have class all day? Maybe you'll go to the library. Or watch Netflix for 12 hours.
9. Dining halls have endless dessert, making the Freshman 15 even more of a reality.
10. Most people go to bed at 3 in the morning, making your 8 a.m. even more hard to get to.
11. Most have your classes don't have homework for every night, but you do have to study, a lot.
12. Redecorating your room every year is very expensive apparently.
13. Every weekend there's some event or game you go to, making Sunday night cram sessions more jam packed.
14. Making an A on a test is impressive, but finish all of Grey's Anatomy season 11 in one week is even more impressive.
15. Your little sister isn't there to steal clothes from your closet, but all 400 girls of your dorm are.
College has its ups and downs, but at the end it will all be worth it.
