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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
