15 All Too Relatable College Experiences

Staying up past two a.m. because you’re procrastinating on your homework. But then you realize: shoot, it’s 2:00 a.m., and I have to do homework.

15 All Too Relatable College Experiences
Christina Van Eck

As a soon-to-be college graduate, I have spent a significant amount of time reflecting on my undergrad experience. The following are some all too relatable experiences that countless college students have likely encountered:

1. Eating an entire roll of cookie dough in one sitting with your roommate.

2. Watching an endless amount of proposal videos and baby-eating-lemon videos on YouTube.

3. Upon hearing one of your classes is cancelled, the skies will open, the sun will shine and all at once, everything is right with the world.

4. Staying up past two a.m. because you’re procrastinating on your homework. But then you realize: shoot, it’s 2:00 a.m., and I have to do homework.


5. Going out to cool, trendy restaurants even though, oh wait, you have college loans to deal with and have no money.

6. Heading to bed with all of your clothes on because you’re too exhausted to put on pajamas.

7. Having a class with your favorite professor who embodies every aspect of who you want to be.

8. Going out for food at 11:00 p.m. because food is oftentimes more important than sleep.

9. But then realizing the next day in the middle of class that sleep is actually really important and you love it with all your heart.

10. Making weird videos with your friends and posting them on Facebook because you are just that crazy.

11. Freaking out about your major and career choice at least once a semester.

12. Missing your alarm at least once—and of course it will happen on the day you have a final exam.

13. Serenading a dorm full of girls or guys and (naively) hoping one of them is Mr. or Mrs. Right.

14. Realizing that the ice cream and waffle machines are the best and worst parts of the dining hall.

15. Once you've graduated, wishing you could do it all again.

The (almost) four years I have spent at college have shaped me into the person I am today. Through the good, the bad and the ugly, my college years have been some of the best years of my life. I will deeply miss college life and all of its craziness. Here’s to the next four years of adventures!

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
