Once you leave high school, you prepare for a whole new world of sophistication. However, it does not take long to realize that college might not be as high-end as you thought. If you are a college student, you have definitely seen, and probably done, some of these things that are NOT cool in high school but are totally normal on a college campus.
1. Wearing Your Pajamas Out In Public
Going to breakfast on Saturday morning? Going to your 8am class? Who needs pants? Pajamas for life.
2. Having Dinner at 11pm
I had a really busy day, okay?! I also took a 4 hour nap....
3. Having Two Dinners Because You Ate the First One at 6:30 and Now It's 2am
Hey, a girl's gotta eat, right?
4. Sleeping Until Noon During the Week
No morning classes? Sweet!
5. Eating Mac and Cheese Multiple Days in a Row
The question is are you an Annie's, Kraft, or Velveeta kind of person?
6. Sleeping in Public Places
Okay if you are telling me that you haven't fallen asleep in the library at least once you are straight up LYING.7. Day Drinking
Homecoming means waking up around nine on a Saturday to start drinking. Mimosas, anyone?
8. Going to McDonald's or Chic-Fil-A at Least Three Times a Week
Gotta love some chicken nuggets and frozen lemonade. They have salads too, so don't judge me. I'm just too lazy to make my own food or walk anywhere.
9. Cold Pizza for Breakfast
If it's from last night, it's fair game.
10. Asking Random People if you Can Pet Their Dog
"OH MY GOSH HE'S SO CUTE WHAT'S HIS NAME CAN I PET HIM HOW OLD IS HE HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD HIM IS HE YOUR ONLY DOG OH MY GOSH LOOK AT HIS LITTLE EARS HE'S SO FLUFFY AND CUTE AND I WANT TO KEEP HIM!"
11. Not Doing Laundry for a Couple Weeks and Doing the "Pit-sniff" Test
No clean shirts? No problem. Just smell the armpit of one left on your chair or floor. If you don't smell anything, no one else will either.
12. Excessive Napping
Pour up (Nap). Head shot (Nap). Sit down (Nap). Stand up (Nap). Pass out (Nap). Wake up (Nap). Faded (Nap). Faded (Nap).
13. Losing Your Phone/Keys/Wallet/Life Almost Every Weekend
Find my iPhone is literally the most helpful app ever invented.
Enjoy these things now, people, because when you get to the real world a few things will have to change. College is a bubble totally different from anywhere else, full of new experiences and fun with friends. Just make sure to leave some of these habits behind when you leave.
