15 Ways College Students Are Basically Kindergartners
Odyssey

College is rough. There are many times when students find themselves wanting to sleep, eat, and cry all at the same time. They are under large amounts of stress and sometimes, they wish that they could just head back to their younger years. After thinking about it, there are lots of ways that college students are like kindergartners. They have it pretty nice; the similarities are kind of awesome. Here are the many ways that college students are like kindergartners!

1. They don't understand what their teacher/professor says during class.

What? That seriously doesn't make any sense!

2. They only see the TA or the principal when there is something wrong.

I did something bad, didn't I?

3. They talk back to the teacher or professor.

I shouldn't have said that. Me and my big mouth.

4. They always say what's on their mind.

Kindergartners speak their mind. So do college kids. They are truly one in the same.

5. All they want to do is play outside.

But instead, they are stuck inside in class. Apparently, there is thing called the sun! Who knew?

6. They don't want to do homework.

Nope, nope, nope, and nope. There are tons of other things that they could be....want to be...doing.

7. They cry...a lot.

The alphabet is stressful. Chemical Nanotechnology is stressful. Don't judge.

8. They wear what they want and don't care what other people think.

They are too busy worrying about classes and converting oxygen into carbon dioxide to worry about what they wear to class.

9. They want food...all the time.

Why can't snack time be all the time?

10. They can't wait to go home.

All they want to do is leave class. Why can't class be over? It's just a simple request!

11. They have no money.

Crayons, markers, cool lunchboxes, and textbooks. Those really start to add up.

12. They want to sleep all the time.

What else would you decide to do when you have a big test coming up? Kindergarten is hard, college is hard, and naps are easy.

13. They think everything is funny when they're exhausted.

You just reach that point where everything is hysterical.

14. They desperately search for friends.

But man, once they have them, they will last a long time.

15. They aren't afraid to be different.

Kindergarten is a time for growth. You're in a new place and you are just starting out. College isn't that different. One is able to start fresh, grow, and be themselves.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
