I suppose another title for this piece could be "The weird things you do in college" or "the weird things college makes you do", but we'll just call them things for now. From eating to sleeping to studying, college students live a specific way, not quite as civilized as the rest of our nation and probably most of our families. But there is a positive in all of this, it's college! That's always a phrase you can use if you are a college student in regards to these weird or random tactics. Let's take a look.

Put together weird concoctions of food because it’s all you have left.

I have a personal relationship with this "thing" because I honestly can say I do this all the time. It's not weird for me to put random ingredients on my chicken even if it doesn't make sense.

Set your alarm for a very specific amount of time, like a 13 minute nap between classes.

This one has happened to me several times because sometimes I really need those extra minutes of sleep.

Hold off on doing laundry until you're down to your last pair of underwear.

It's time.

Wait until the last minute to complete 80-90% of your assignments.

I feel like I was much more responsible with my assignments in high school. Now I wait until the last minute to study and to start papers, but I'm trying not to do this so much.

Planning your day around when you will eat.

If I wake up by 9 and then I eat at 10 I can probably fit my homework in between there and hanging out with my friends later. But then I have to make sure I have time for lunch. And dinner can't be too early either.

Doing those things that you aren't always proud of.

This goes without an explanation and you can interpret it as you like. College is the time to make mistakes because it only helps us learn and grow as we become real-world adults.

Going to events for the free stuff. Every. Single. Time.

Once you start getting free stuff, you just can't stop.

Going to events for the food.

As soon as someone mentions food for an upcoming event, every student is there. A free meal means a lot especially if you are paying for your own food or you're sick of eating at the dining hall.

Planning to be productive, but it just doesn't happen.

There are always those days when you are so ready and so prepared to get everything done, clean the whole apartment, and maybe even prep some meals for the week. But instead, you lay in bed for hours doing absolutely nothing.

Planning to do something but continually pushing back the time because is 1 hour really a big deal?

This happens often. It's almost become inevitable.
