15 Things You Know To Be True If You Go To A Small College

Going to a small college is a blessing and a curse. You know so many people, it's easy to get around your small campus and you're on a first-name basis with your professors. It has its ups and it definitely has its downs, but you love your little school nonetheless.

1. There is no such thing as skipping a class.

When you go to a small college, you basically are the class, so when you don't show up your professors know and may even call you out on it the next day.

2. Is sleeping in class an actual thing?

At a small college, there is no sitting in the back of a classroom and getting sleep. The classrooms are small and the professors see everything.

3. Texting is also out of the question.

If your professor doesn't allow you to have your phone out in class, it definitely isn't going to happen.

4. You run into your friends or the person you like all the time.

It's actually kind of nice to run into people you like, well, unless you're having a bad hair day or didn't have time to look cute that morning.

5. You also will run into people you don't like.

Running into people you like is one thing, but you will run into people you don't like all the time. It's actually pretty terrible.

7. You may or may not have football.

Isn't it a sin to live in the south and not have football? Or something like that?

8. What's a tailgate?

No football, no tailgate. Simple as that.

9. You're probably stuck in a town that doesn't have much to do.

The most fun you have is your weekly trip to Walmart.

10. The dating pool is extremely small, almost non-existent.

And he's probably dated or talked to one of your friends, so he's off-limits.

11. You know your president and your president knows you.

12. You've gotten used to people not knowing where your school is.

Your conversations probably go something like this, "I go to ____." "Oh that's cool. Where is that again?"

13. You are probably in more than one club.

It's a small campus, so if you're involved you're probably in more than one club.

14. Everyone will know your business.

15. Talking to friends at big universities will make you jealous.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
