Studios producing horror movies are always trying to find something new, fresh, and scarier than anything else that their audience has ever seen to try and make some money. However, if they really want to make a successful horror movie,all they need to do is make a movie about the real horrors that some of their target audience members live with everyday: college.


1. 8 AMs

Seriously how did I get up this early every day for high school?

2. Cafeteria Food

You would think that at a school you pay several thousand dollars for per semester, they would have decent food. Well, you thought wrong.

3. The "Freshman 15"

It's real, no matter what they tell you.

4. The cost of textbooks.

Yes, textbooks are $150 each so buy them online for a "much cheaper" $80 each. What a steal.

5. Student loans

Q: How am I ever going to pay this much money back?

6. College debts

A: You will never pay all of that money back. You will die in debt.

7. Dorm bathrooms

Sure, a bathroom you share with 20+ people will be gross and uncomfortable. But you cannot comprehend how miserable it will be until you live in a dorm.

8. Dorms in general.

Will the temperature ever feel normal? Probably not. What is that weird stain on the wall? Who knows. Is that a ghost down the hall? Quite possibly.

9. Responsibility.

You thought you were ready for college, but of course, as soon as you get there and have to be responsible, you realize how unprepared you are for living alone.

10. Becoming an adult.

'I am so ready to have my own place and go into the workforce!' -High school you

'I am going to stay in bed all day eating Lucky Charms and watching Spongebob. What a treat!' -College you

11. Thinking about possible career choices

'When I grow up, I am going to be a pediatrician and help children!' -You all of your life.

'You know, a job at Taco Bell doesn't sound too bad. I wouldn't be in debt and I could eat all of the tacos I want...' -College you

12. Having no money

In high school, you had a job, but if you needed a little extra money your parents could give you a $20. In college, finding $5 means that you can comfortably eat Ramen for a week, and that is a cause for celebration.

13. Having no clue about what is in store for your future.

What am I doing with my life? I have no clue. What do I want out of life? I'm not really sure. What is happening tomorrow in Intro to Psych? Who knows.

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!

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.

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.
