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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
