10 Things We Still Do That We Did As Kids
http://thestir.cafemom.com

There are some things that we all did as kids that we have very vivid memories of. The memories are so vivid that we still do them, and we don’t even realize it. But some of the things we still do have been upgraded.

1. Losing our mom in the store!

We still freak out when we lose our moms in the store. We get so scared that we forget that we have cells phones now and we can call them in the store. This is something that seems will never stop happening, no matter what age we are.

2. Sleepovers!

We might be adults now, but we still have sleepovers. Usually, they aren’t planned, they are the result of either studying until the wee hours of the morning or because you’re too drunk to drive home…

3. Crushes!

We still have crushes, we probably always will have crushes too. Back then, we used to creep on our crushes on the playground or during lunch time and gossip with our friends about them. Now, we have Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to help us creep!

4. Dressing up!

We still dress up. Don’t lie to yourselves. We get all dolled up and decked out every now then. But now we can actually go out in public… sometimes.

5. Juice Boxes!

Our love of Juice boxes has turned to the love of box wine.

6. Ice Cream Trucks!

Waiting in line to grab a Totally Tubular or a Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar at the ice cream truck has turned into waiting in line to get into the bar to grab a Long Island.

7. Naps!

We use to hate taking naps as kids. We just wanted to keep playing. Now, naps are vital to get through your day, and we get upset if we don’t take one or pass out doing whatever we are doing at that moment.

8. Burning CDs!

Making CDs for our friends. Everyone used to love buying the blank disc and picking all the songs your friends were going to love, then burning them a CD and decorating it with stickers and the names of the songs. Now we just make a playlist on Spotify and share it with our friends. (I kind of miss the CDs). We still get turn up, no matter if it's with a CD, a DJ, or Spotify.

9. Passing Notes!

We all loved passing notes to our crushes or friends during class in middle school. But now we text or slide in the DMS… even if we don't know the person.

10. Mixing drinks!

Mixing drinks at the fountain machine… well, now we mix our pops with alcohol… sorry, mom and dad.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
