The 10 Worst Parts Of College

Let me start out by saying I love college, and I absolutely love University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. That being said, college isn't perfect. There are some parts of college that aren't exactly ideal. Here are the 10 worst parts of college.

1. Studying

This one is a no-brainer. Studying and doing school work is not exactly a good time. College students spend hours upon hours dedicated to their studies. Obviously this is the point of college, but that doesn't make it any more enjoyable.

2. The Food

At first, college cafeteria food is tasty and exciting. As time goes on, the choices become unappealing and less than delicious. I will say that the unlimited ice cream is a plus though!

3. 8 A.M. Classes

In high school, going to class at 8 in the morning was the norm. Once you get to college, 8 am seems like the crack of dawn. If you mention to any other college student that you have an 8 am class, there will be instant sympathy.

4. Small Dorm Rooms

When you go to college, you get put in what feels like small box with another person to share for a year. Roommates are one of the best parts of college, but the lack of space is honestly one of the worst.

5. The Cost

This is the worst part about college in my opinion. You pay thousands and thousands of dollars, which means you need to work on top of your studies. This can be incredibly overwhelming.

6. Exhaustion

No matter how much sleep you get, you are always tired. it seems like your body is never fully rested, and you become dependent on a daily nap time.

7. Professors that don't update your grades

Not knowing where you are at in your classes is incredibly stressful and nerve-wrecking. There are many professors that don't update your grades so you aren't sure how you're doing. This is the worst!

8. Walking to class in the winter

You have to literally wear five layers just to keep from getting frost bite from one building to the other. Not only that, but class is hardly ever cancelled when it's cold, so even when it's 30 below, you better bundle up and get going.

9. Paying to do laundry

You're already poor from paying tuition, and you are still expected to pay to wash your clothes. This causes you to push off your laundry for as long as your clean underwear supply lasts.

10. The constant feeling that you have no idea what you are doing

Everyone feels this way. Even the people that seem to have it figured out. Quite honestly, I don't think it even ends after college is over.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
