8 Things College Students Do That Would be Weird Anywhere Else

College is a strange place. Everyone's on their own, so essentially, we can do whatever we want. And sometimes, that means doing something that would be considered weird anywhere besides college. But, in college, it's totally normal. So, if you do any of these things, you're probably a college student and proud of it.

Napping. Anywhere at any time.

Between classes, writing papers, socializing, studying, and working, college students usually don't get their 8 hours. So, to work around that, being able to nap anywhere on campus during any time of the day is a skill that some have perfected to make sure they can stay awake through long lectures and late nights.

Riding a scooter to class.

That's right. Remember those Razor scooters you rode when you were 6? Well, now college students have also gotten into the trend. It's an easy way to save some travel time and look cool while doing it.

Ordering a coffee with a shot of red bull... at 8 pm.

We all have those nights where you have 2 papers, 3 assignments, and 6 chapters to read by the next morning... so you stay up all night completing it. So, when someone orders a coffee this strong this late, just wish them luck.

Wearing the same outfit for 2 days in a row.

Chances are, the people in your MWF classes don't see you on TH, so if you're too lazy to put on new clothes, or went out the night before, no one will know!

Doing laundry at 2 in the morning.

With everything college students need to worry about, laundry is often at the bottom of the list. So when it's 2 in the morning and you realize you don't have any clean clothes...

Reusing plastic utensils.

Let's be honest, college students are broke. So that plastic knife and fork you used for dinner tonight? It'll be washed and reused for the rest of the semester.

Going out in public in your pajamas.

Either you didn't have time to change, or you just didn't feel like it, but there always seems to be someone that goes to class or the dining hall in the clothes they slept in. Those plaid fleece pants? I know you didn't put those on to look nice.

Day drinking.

Drinking at 10 am on a Friday would probably be frowned upon elsewhere, but, in college, you're just a regular student. "Darties" also known as "day parties" are the new night parties.

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.
