Attending college is something a lot of people aspire to do. Along the way we learn to grow up and in the end we come out with a degree that helps us to land a job in our field. However, college isn't a breeze. One aspect of college that isn't discussed as much as it should be is the tuition rates. With such high tuitions in place and financial aid not always coming to the rescue, college debt seems to be getting at an all time high. As of 2017, Americans have to owe over $1.4 trillion and there's no escaping that.

Since basically anything is just about cooler than college debt, here are 14 things that prove so:

1. Having wine nights with your favorite people.

Why go out when you have your best friends and a nice bottle of wine? Sometimes that's all you really need.

2. Late night adventures.

Exploring your city at night never gets old. There's always something new to discover!

3. Binge-watching your favorite Netflix show.

With so many options on Netflix, there's a show for just about everyone. Once you start, it's hard to stop.

4. Being offered free food.
