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.
