11 Things That I Won't Miss About College

With graduation just around the corner, seniors are starting to get emotional and nostalgic. We're all sad to be leaving behind a place that's become our home over the past few years, and the friends who have become our family. But, rather than focusing on what we don't want to leave behind, let's take a moment to celebrate the fact that there are also annoying things about college that we won't have to put up with anymore.

Here is a list of all of the things that won't be missed by graduating seniors:

1. Putting off doing laundry because the washing machines and dryers are a) gross b) always full unless it's the dead of night and c) only work like 43% of the time.


2. Wearing shoes in the shower.

Or just the dirty dorm showers in general. Freshman year, I yawned in the shower and a bug flew into my mouth (true story).

3. Getting sick from the food after a long break because your body hasn't "adjusted" to it yet.


4. Having to eat bananas that are either too ripe or not ripe enough because that's all the dining hall ever has.


5. Getting sick every time someone in your hall gets sick.


6. People that say stupid things during class discussions.

"Really? Peru's in South America?"

Really? You're in college?

7. Wifi that always seems to stop working as soon as you have to write a research paper or video chat with your grandma.


8. Sleeping on a mattress topper.

One of two things happen when you try to fall asleep: it's impossible to get comfortable, or the thing starts sliding off your bed and you have to keep readjusting it.

9. People that act like they're still in high school.


10. The overwhelming panic and stress that finals week brings every year.

11. People throwing up EVERYWHERE.

And puke sitting in trash cans, water fountains, or sinks for days on end, stinking up the halls.

To all of these things we say, goodbye and good riddance.

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.
