10 Spontaneous Adventures At College
Julia Araneo

Some might say that being at college is a new kind of adventure that introduces many exciting and scary opportunities. During your days and nights as a college student you will be exposed to a whole new world of possibilities. You will most definitely do a handful of ridiculous things and the best part is that they will never be planned. Here are 10 spontaneous adventures you would be lucky to accomplish in college...

1. Trips to the pet store for multiple fish.

Nothing will replace having your dog or cat, but the closest thing you can have to that now is a fish in a ten gallon tank. The new addition to the dorm won't be the exact same, but it makes it a little better.

2. Long drives to absolutely nowhere.

Theres nothing like a long car ride with great people. Finding open roads in a place you know nothing about is thrilling. With no destination you might be gone for hours and possibly lost, but at least you have a radio.

3. Driving around in October until you find a hay ride.

When its halloween season you're bound to find a place to get your scare on. Obviously you have to take advantage of the pleasure anyone has in paying to be scared and the terrible free hot chocolate afterwards.

4. Good thing Wawa is open 24/7.

You will be hungry at 2am, but don't worry someone else probably is too! Wawa will become a constant in your life that never disappoints.

5. If it snows you have to act like a child again.

A snow storm at college is like a huge competition of who can build a better snowman. However, if thats not your cup of tea, you could be like me and my roommate and steal snow from outside, add gatorade and call it a snow cone!

6. You don't need a sled to have a good time.

If you're bored like my roommate and I were on a wintery night just slip into your rain boots. Go for a walk and make sure to step and slide on every sheet of ice you see. It was the most fun we had and it cost absolutely nothing and you know all college students are broke so free is a good thing.

7. You are good enough to make a music video.

A dorm room is not big enough when its midnight and you and your friends are full of energy. Move the jam session to the common room and record it because why not!? Trust me it will be treasured for years to come!

8. College is stressful so go play with puppies.

If you're lucky there will be a local pet store that allows you to play with their puppies. This will be the highlight of your week because puppies make everything better.

9. Spikeball can be an inside game if you're really determined.

For some reason you get the most energy when you should be sleeping. My friends resorted to playing spikeball in our common room because it was clearly too dark outside!

10. How far is the beach...because we should go!?

You will not want to admit that summer is over and winter is approaching. So in order to escape this reality you will decide a 50 degree day in the fall is perfect beach weather. Sooner or later you'll accept that summer's over, but until then you can be founding getting wind-burn on the sand!


Some of the last minute crazy impulses turn into the best memories...so stay spontaneous!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
