20 Things You Hear In College
Collegefession.

College is simultaneously awesome and awful. Half the time you love what you do and can't wait to work in your field. The other half of the time you're entertaining thoughts about dropping out of college and becoming a hobo. Here's some things you've probably either said, or heard, when talking to college students.

1. Is it too late to withdraw from this class?

I know everyone has wondered this at least once during their college years.


2. I think I'm just gonna drop out of college.

If you haven't entertained this thought, you're lying.


3. Is it acceptable to wear the same shirt I wore yesterday?


Yes. Because you're Monday/Wednesday/Friday people don't know about your Tuesday/Thursday life.


4. Five more minutes!

Five more minutes of sleep won't completely disrupt my schedule, right?


5. Why do I have to wear pants?


Ah, yes. The eternal question.


6. I'm not going to my 9:25 and you can't make me.

You can skip class every once in a while. Just don't make it a habit.


7. I don't wanna go to class

No one does, bro.


8. Will there be snacks at this event?

This will determine how many people show up and how long they will say. Once the food is gone, I'm gone.


9. My prof is always late anyways.


You're not late as long as you get there before the Prof does.


10. We only have to wait 10 minutes before we can leave, right?

This rule is always confusing. Just remember, 10 minutes for Professors and 15 for Doctors. Now you just have to remember whether it's "Professor Smith" or "Doctor Smith."


11. Did we have homework?

If we did, I obviously didn't do it.


12. Can we just watch a movie today?

This one is probably more common among the film major classes. But it still applies to everyone.


13. I have time for coffee.

There is always time for coffee. Always.


14. I'll just wing it.

Presentations are really hard to memorize, after all.


15. It's bedtime.

Don't be deceived. Once that clock hits 11pm, I am out like a light.


16. One more episode.

Of course, my 11pm rule doesn't apply during a binge watch session. This show is just too good!


17. We have a test???

This is probably one of the most terrifying moments of your life. Hopefully the answer is, "not until next week."


18. What day is it?

This determines a lot. Like what class you're going to, or if you have a meeting.


19. I like your Chacos.

This is especially common at Asbury University. But hey, maybe other campuses have a chaco obsession. They are comfy.


20. Why did I take an 8am?

I don't know, but you should probably reevaluate your life decisions.

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.
