16 Things College Students Don't Want To Hear

New Creations Boarding School

1. How were finals?

Honestly, they were awful. How else should I respond to that?

2. Did you get any grades back yet?

No. Professors don't want to grade our exams as much as we don't want to take them, hence why my grades won't be up for a long time.

3. Are you going to unpack anytime soon?

Probably not. I don't want to unpack just to have to repack in a month. That's just unnecessary.

4. Why were you out so late?

5. Why can't you stay home for one night?

I'm used to being surrounded by people my age on basically a 24-hour basis. Why should I stay home to watch you go to bed at 9 p.m.?

6. Why do you sleep so late?

Because I turned nocturnal. No, really. Between schoolwork during the week and going out on the weekends, I am really only awake during the night.

7. Watch your language.

8. What do you want for dinner?

Anything. I just ate dining hall food for over three months. I considered it a good day when there wasn't a bug or piece of hair in my meal. If you make me a piece of toast for dinner, I probably won't even be mad.

9. You have to go to Aunt Sally's house on Sunday.

Listen, I'm not really used to this whole "being told what to do" thing, so I won't take it well. If you give me the option of going, maybe I will go. If you tell me I'm going, I most definitely won't.

10. You're not 21.

That's weird, because at school I am. I'm in college. I drink. #HonestyHour

11. My house, my rules.

I'm not here to disrespect you, but your rules are the same rules you had since I was a freshman in high school. I know how to make good decisions (at least, most of the time), so let's put some faith in me!

12. Get off the couch.

I just worked my ass off for 18 weeks straight. No, thank you.

13. Did you just nap for five hours?

Yes, because I slept for two hours last night.

14. Where'd you go? Who'd you go with? What time did you get home? Who was there?

Well, if you don't feel the need to ask me these questions while I'm at school (which is a good thing), then why do you have to ask them now?

15. Why don't you get a job?

I understand that you're tired of hearing me say "I'm broke," but what free time do you think I have at school?

16. When do you go back to school?

I know I'm annoying, but please don't get rid of me that fast. I love being home and spending time with all of the people I love, so thinking about going back to school sucks.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
