13 Times You Realized College Has Turned You Into A Grandma Four Decades Too Early

There are numerous stereotypes surrounding the "college experience." The definitive standards for all students attending college include late nights, Thirsty Thursday's, relentless stress and worries, huge friend groups, constant social engagements, weeknight parties, and weekend parties, right? Wrong. Sometimes coming to college actually tames a student rather than unleashing an incredibly wild side.

Here are 13 times that you realized college has turned you into a grandma:

1. You purposely sign up for 8 a.m. classes every semester.

The early bird gets the worm, right?!

2. You value the quality of friends over quantity of friends.

3. People come to you for advice about all kinds of problems.

Even if you can't solve every problem you are faced with, you always offer insightful advice and an eager pair of listening ears to your friend.

4. You prefer coffee shops to bars.

5. You must do a thorough background check on your bestie's new boyfriend.

What are his intentions? What is his dream job? How soon can you meet him?

6. You treasure time spent with family.

7. You have your own style and aren't afraid to flaunt it.

8. You would rather stay home over Spring Break than travel to Panama City Beach like the rest of the university.

9. A scheduled bedtime is necessary.

10. You always make time to read.

Outside of completing assignments for class.

11. You realize and appreciate the true value of education.

12. Quiet nights spent inside are ideal.

No Thirsty Thursday participation from you.

13. You loathe bad weather.

Walking to class in anything other than sunny and warm just sucks.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
