College (and life) is full of a lot of what ifs and regrets. As much as we try to be better and do better, it's undeniable that we all slip up sometimes. Thought it may feel shameful, just know that everyone makes similar mistakes. It's hard making the right decisions all the time, and it's usually not possible to do so, either. So don't sweat it too much because it happens everybody all the time. Here's a list of 15 things I wish I did, but didn't, as told by "New Girl."

1. Homework on a Friday night.

2. Ate a salad instead of eating something really unhealthy.

3. Went to bed instead of watching Netflix.

4. Called your parents.

5. Did/folded your laundry when you said you would.

6. Checked the weather before leaving for class.

7. Started studying earlier.

8. Taken better notes in class instead of being lazy and writing down next to nothing.

9. Not to have napped.

10. Taken a risk to do something social.

11. Wasted food points.

12. Talked to a cute person.

13. Maintained the cleanliness of your room.

14. Followed through with your fitness plan.

15. Treat Yourself.

So this is for all the times you ate cheetos instead of an apple, napped instead of going to the gym, and lazily lounged around instead of doing anything even slightly productive. You'll undoubtedly feel guilty or bad about yourself when you find yourself with a paper, project, and four readings due the next day, but if you know you have a record of making these kinds of choices, you might as well cherish your procrastination and questionable decisions by pressing play on the next episode of whatever you're watching.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
