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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
