College can be rough. With the piles of homework, hours without sleep, and all-around stress of working towards a future, there are a lot of different ways to tick off a college student. Family reunions only consist of questions about school and your future, and it seems as if professors have forgotten what it's like to be a student. Even though college may be a fun experience, here are 13 things that college students are tired of hearing:
1. You're going to be in debt forever.
Thanks for the confidence. It really helps reassure me that educating myself is the right decision.
2. No, you cannot keep a dog in your room.
3. This is not an assignment you can do the night before.
Every night of my life spent procrastinating has led up to this moment.
4. Your FAFSA letter has arrived.
The numbers they give you are usually a little bit different than you'd hoped for.
5. Sorry, we don't offer a student discount here.
If I don't get 20 discount off tacos then what's the point of even going to college?
6. What are your plans after graduation?
Of course, the typical response you give probably sounds a little more assuring.
7. You'll never find a job with that major.
Unfortunately, we can't all be brain surgeons.
8. Your checking account statement for this month is now available.
9. We're having Ramen for dinner!
His expression says it all.
10. It has come to my attention that no one has been doing the assigned reading.
Come on, who actually has time to read 50 pages every night? Please just let us keep pretending like we know what's going on.
11. I'm assigning some homework over the weekend.
OK, so maybe we don't actually say this. But we really want to.
12. The class you are trying to register for is at maximum capacity.
At this rate, we'll be 30 and still trying to earn enough credits to graduate.
13. Sorry, I can't round your F to an A for the final.
This one is probably the one I'm most tired of hearing. So what if I only got a 17 percent? It's the thought that counts, right?
Even though college may be stressful at times, it's an experience that we're all going to miss. We may look back on these years as some of the best of our lives. We're learning things, making friends, and creating memories that will definitely last a lifetime. Although we may be tired of hearing these things now, who knows? Maybe we'll miss some of them in 10 years.
OK, probably not.
