Moving away to college is a huge change. There's no doubt about that. Coming into college, I really didn't think of all of the little changes that would come along with the bigger one. Boy, was I wrong. Here are eigth ways college is completely different than high school, told by Twitter.
1. Teachers
Your teachers in high school most likely nagged you and scolded you, saying they were preparing you for college. You went in nervous. Then you got here and realized the teachers are much more chill than you ever imagined.
2. Money
High school kids might be watching their spending, but college kids are broke.
3. Workload
In high school having two tests on one day was killer. In college, the average day includes a 15-page essay, two exams, and a project.
4. Books
You will miss the days of getting every textbook handed to you, and handing it back on the last day, cost-free. Welcome to college where your bookstore total is $450.
5. Sleep
You won't.
6. Class Times
In high school, a 9 AM class is so do-able. In college, it is so not.
7. Going Out
Your life goes from never even thinking about going out on a weekday, to Thursday (and Tuesday, and maybe Wednesday) basically becoming part of the weekend.
8. Looking Decent
If you think you're going to wake up an hour early to get ready ever again, you're wrong.
