1. Having a good parking spot, but knowing that when you leave and come back it won’t be there.


It’s literally the worst. Now you’ve parked in the furthest parking spot away from your dorm, and you have to run in the dark with the mace in your hand just in case.

2. Telling yourself every night that you’re going to go to bed early, but then never actually doing it.

Oh come on. Nothing is better than spending late nights playing Just Dance or watching an amazing movie with all of your best friends. Next thing you know, it’s 4:53am and you’re questioning whether you should just stay up and go to sleep after classes are over.

3. Hanging out in your best friend’s room without your best friend there.

I mean, maybe this is just a girl thing, but having that bond with your best friends is so great. Sometimes they’ll leave their door unlocked in case you get out of class early and decide you want to sleep on their floor while they’re still sleeping. Or sometimes they know you get out of class earlier than them, so you’ll wait for them alone in their room. Best friends are great.

4. 1am fast food trips.

Well, the campus café is definitely closed at 1am, and you’re starving. The Lord has blessed us with Whataburger’s that are open 24 hours.

5. Waking up every day with the intentions on doing your overflowing laundry, but always pushing it off.

And then you forget that you don’t have any clean jeans, so you wear dirty ones and hope that no one notices.

6. When everyone wants to go out to eat off campus, but you’re poor as heck.

iHop sounds great guys, buuuuttt…

7. Having to walk all the way to the front of the dormitory because the side doors lock at 1.

Pro: Hanging out with your friends late at night. Con: It’s cold, and now you have to walk like, another 500 feet.

8. Group study sessions.

Group study sessions are more like, who can stare at the computer screen the longest without trying to engage someone else in conversation. Or, “Hey! Look at this new snapchat filter!”

9. Spontaneous adventures.


You know how that paper is due tomorrow at midnight? Yeah, well everyone is going ice skating tonight, and that paper can wait.

10. Knowing that you’ve found lifelong friends.

Yeah, high school is pretty great. Maybe you found your best friend sometime before now. But by the time you’ve made it to college, you’re just about done growing into the person you’re meant to be. Now you’re living in a building with 200 other students, and you’re doing life with these amazing people. Living on campus is such a great experience, and it’s one of the few things that you’ll never regret.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
