13 Things College Kids Do That They Know They Shouldn't

Sometimes these things are both necessary and inevitable.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

1. Spending their money - when they actually don't have any.

$0.33 in your bank account but Chipotle sounds way too good to pass up right now.

2. Take naps. Lots of naps.

Bad day? Take a nap. Good day? Celebrate with a nap. Bad grade on a test? The answer is obviously to nap.

3. Staying up late binge-watching a Netflix show when you have an early class.

Well, yes I have to be up at 8 but it would obviously be sinful to go to bed without finding out who the killer is.

4. Skip a class to do something completely unnecessary.

Sometimes class is really the last place you want to be, so what if you skip it once to head down to the beach? One day can't do too much harm...personal days are a necessity.

5. Putting all your homework off for the night before it's due just so you can do nothing for a night.

You're slammed all week, so if you have a potential night to do absolutely nothing, that is definitely worth taking. Sure we'll regret it tomorrow, but for the night you're carefree.

6. Going out on a Thursday night when you have a test the next day.

We've all done it, and most likely felt completely terrible in the morning, but at least our Snapchat Story from the night before is a perfect replica of the previous night's activities.

7. Making impulsive decisions.

So you're telling me it is frowned upon to splurge online and spend $74 on clothes in one sitting?

8. Write an important paper in one night.

It seemed like a good and manageable idea at the time, but little did we know we would stay up literally all night - falling in and out of sleep - writing it.

9. Classifying Ramen as your main food group.

Such a perfect and easy meal. Sure, sometimes we'll get completely tired of it, but at least it's always there for us as a go-to when we need it.

10. Going on late night food runs - and I mean really late.

It's 2 am but for some reason you just really can't shake the thought of some late-night fast food. So naturally, you go out and get it, without much of a second thought.

11. Having more than 3 cups of coffee a day.

Because one definitely wasn't enough and you still have three classes ahead of you.

12. Doing really dumb, irresponsible things when out with your friends.

You'll probably regret doing most of them in the morning (or not), but at least it was all seemingly worth it at the time. Those kind of memories are priceless.

13. Finishing an entire show on Netflix in less than a week.

Listen, it's really not as hard as it sounds. There's so many addicting shows out there. And, are you really in college if you haven't done this before?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
