11 Reasons Why College Is Ew!

Hey, my name’s Marisa and welcome to Ew!: the article where I talk about all of the things about college that are ew!

Like, c'mon, you know that, sometimes, you just want to be like, "ew!" whenever your teacher gives you an assignment.

So, without further ado, here are all the ew things about college, as told by Jimmy Fallon.


1. All of the teachers are on the same four-week schedule, so, when week four rolls around, you can expect a lot of tests.

2. Sometimes, teachers will cancel classes without sending out emails.

It always sucks to get out of bed, go to class, and, when you get there, a note is on the door: Canceled.


3. You have no idea how to cook, but you better figure it out if you want to survive.

Or, you can be like me and get a bunch of frozen meals from Wal-Mart. Yum.


4. There are no such thing as “excuses” in college.

You just keep swimming or you will drown.


5. Sometimes, you will have to schedule 8 a.m. classes.

Need I say more?


6. You will always have a teacher who loves application questions.

“I don’t want you to memorize the information. I want you to know it and be able to apply it.”

I know that they’re just trying to teach us, or something, but that still doesn’t make it fun.

7. You have to suffer through classes that have absolutely nothing to do with your major.

Me: I want to be a therapist. College: That’s awesome. Now, go ahead and dissect this cow brain.


8. Your family never really understands how hard college actually is.

I’d like to see them do it!

Anatomy tests, anyone? Didn’t think so.

9. What is money exactly?



10. Dorms don't allow pets.

Yeah, Fluffy isn't gonna be able to come.


11. But... it may just be the best time of your life.


Of course, there are so many wonderful things about college, but that wouldn't be as much fun to talk about. College has its ups and downs, but, in the end, it's worth it.

So, that's it for this week's episode of Ew! See you next time.

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.
