15 Thoughts That Go Through Every College Student's Head
Odyssey

Your high school teachers never prepared you for what might go through your head in college. Neither did your parents. After about a semester in you’re already waiting for the piece of paper to tell you “You Did It! Now Get A Job.”

Here are 15 thoughts that every college student has definitely had in their head:

1. Coffee, I need coffee, where is coffee.

You literally can’t function without caffeine, it’s a total necessity.

2. It’s 4 a.m.? What?

You’re on Facebook and the next thing you know, it’s morning.

3. I have an 8 a.m., kill me now.

You precisely come to college thinking that being up early is for high school, but nope those 8ams are still reeling their ugly heads.

4. Come on, get your shit together this is due tomorrow.

You sit and stare at your laptop screen for 3 hours just trying to get the first sentence on your 8-page paper started.

5. Group Projects…do nothing and get an A or do all of it and get an A?

You always have a decision to make with group projects. Do you have the smart person and are they going to do everything anyway or are you the smart person in the group?

6. Pizza or Chinese tonight?

The school café sucks and closes at like 7pm and you always get hungry at like 11pm. Plus delivery goes straight to your dorm. Greatest thing ever, right?

7. I can totally make a meal out of this.

You have literally nothing in your fridge, but at this point you’re so skilled at cooking you can make anything out of nothing. Or you just starve.

8. Crap, my laptop just died.

Nothing like being in the middle of an assignment and your whole screen goes black. Yep, your life is over.

9. Just 15 more minutes.

Your appearance slowly disintegrates and you stop caring. By the middle of the semester, you’re waking up 5 minutes before class starts.

10. Cs get degrees.

If you were an A student in high school, you totally expect to be like a B student until you fail your first exam and it’s like “Eh, as long as I pass.”

11. I will not spend $10 on anything…*buys new shoes*….I needed this.

You refuse to spend any money on a $10 meal at Applebee’s, but the second those sandals hit the market you’ve got them shipped.

12. Should I skip today?

You’re always contemplating on skipping class, because you’re the one paying for it. The only time it becomes unacceptable is when attendance affects your overall grade, then you’re hustling to that room.

13. 2pm to 3pm is nap time.

You have a set nap time every day, but half the time you never make it, because it always turns into doing some assignment you procrastinated on.

14. How can I make more money?

You’re constantly searching the web for new ways to make money quickly, so that you’re bank account can stop saying that you have $3 in there.

15. XX Days until I graduate, I can do this.

No matter how much longer you really have until you graduate, it’s always measured in days. Two years sounds too long, but 766 days keeps getting smaller by the day.

Share if you’ve thought of any of these!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
