11 Things That Are Only Acceptable in College

We've all been guilty of doing at least one of these.

11 Things That Are Only Acceptable in College

1.Wearing sweatpants to class.

If you're currently a college student, we are all guilty of this. There is always a point in our lives when we are just like, "F*ck it. I'm wearing sweatpants." Let's be honest with ourselves. This is practically everyday for us. And if you say you've never done this, you're lying!

2. Making catch phrases in movies a drinking game.

Ever watch a movie with your friends and drink every time a certain character says their catch phrase? I'm sure we all have.

3. Taking naps in the middle of the day.

I don't know about you guys but I'm always tired after my classes. I'm also known for taking multiple naps so I guess I'm the perfect example of this point. I can take an average of two to three naps each day. How is this possible, you ask? Don't worry about it.

4.Reading any book that's not a textbook.

I'm guilty of this as well. I will literally read a Dr. Suess book before I voluntarily choose to read one of my textbooks. Green Eggs & Ham is one of my favorite Dr. Suess books. Judge me.

5.Wearing Greek Letter t-shirts every day.

Now I'm not in Greek Life but I've seen this happen literally everyday. Greek Fraternities and Sororities love to show off their Greek Letters. And I think it's totally cool that they have so much pride for their Fraternity or Sorority... but not if they are sh*tty people. Majority of them are cool but you always have that one stereotypical as$hole.

6. Eating in your bed.

Moving on to number 6. Eating in bed. I'm pretty sure this is not just a college thing. This could probably seen as universal but I feel like you are less likely to get judged if you do it in college. I love me a good bowl of mac & cheese in my warm and comfy bed. It's totally fulfilling.

7.Fitting more than one person into a twin sized bed.

We've all tried to fit more than one person into a twin sized bed at one point in our lives. I don't think this needs to be explained in detail so we gone skip to number eight.

8. Staying Up All Night To Watch Netflix.

Don't be afraid of Netflix. Netflix marathons are the BEST! I remember I spent the whole night watching all the seasons of Criminal Minds, my all time favorite show by the way. And guess what? It was a Tuesday night and I was not ashamed. It's college. Sh#t like that happens here. Get on my level.

9. Chugging Down Monster or Red Bull To Stay Awake.

Depending on how boring your professor is, you might need a Monster or Red Bull energy drink to keep yourself awake. It's gonna happen multiple times in your college career where you will definitely have trouble keeping your eyes open and it's okay. That energy drink is there to catch you when you fall, especially when you have ten page papers due the next day because you procrastinated.

10. Bringing Your Laptop To Class So You Can Pretend To Be Taking Notes.

Once again, if you say you've never done this in a class before, you are lying. There was one class that I took that was literally the most uninteresting class to every exist in this world. I brought my laptop to class and watched Hotel Transylvania 2 on Netflix for fifty minutes. I typed my notes while also watching a movie. That's multitasking at its finest.

11. Eating Cereal at 3 in the Morning.

Eating cereal at 3 in the morning is a way of life in college. Don't question it.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
