16 Things College Made You Forget Are Innapropriate This Break

They may be okay at school, but back at home they certainly are not.

16 Things College Made You Forget Are Innapropriate This Break

pattersonplumbing.com

As winter break is right around the corner, it is important to remember what is and isn't appropriate when going home. Here is a list of some things college has made us forget are actually very inappropriate:

1. Walking everywhere

At school all your friends live within a two block radius of you and it's easy to forget that there is this thing called a car which one sometimes has to use to go see people.

2. Going out on a Thursday night

Don't forget that Thursday is actually a weekday.... and that Wednesday is too.

3. Wearing one of your sorority's t-shirts for every outfit

We all love to rep our letters, but break is not the time to unleash your "Sratty" side.

4. Same goes for wearing your favorite fraternity's shirts

Your hometown doesn't need to be aware for your extremely high groupie status

5. Groupme- A simple text message will do just fine

Don't be alarmed when your group chats are constantly "poppin'" off

6. Having empty glass alcohol bottles as home decorations

And yes I'm even talking about the bedazzled champagne bottle your best friend gave you for your birthday

7. 2:00 a.m. donut runs

These should be especially reserved for only the highest quality donuts, slo-do-co, of course.

8. Wine bags

Because in the real world, wine comes in a bottle not a bag. And no, you can not slap the bottle.

9. Leaving dirty dishes in the sink for consecutive days

Because no on wants their mom thinking she raised an epic failure. And, no, paper plates and plastic silverware are not the answer.

10. Themed parties

Parties are most likely not themed at home (but if they are for sure, let me know) It's OK to leave the costume box at school.

11. Beer Die

While we all know your totally frat star friends have amped up the traditional drinking game because they are just so sophisticated, I promise good ol' BP will do for a while.

12. Drinking excessive amounts of caffeine

Drinking multiple cups of coffee a day at home is not normal. And at home you actually have to pay for Starbucks. Meal plans aren't a thing in the real world.

13. "Rage"

At home its an emotion, at school it's a verb. Don't get them confused.

14. Referring to "the party houses" in code

Unlike at school, at home you can't just refer to a house by the first three numbers of its address and expect everyone to know what house you're talking about.

15. Wearing heels to a party

Just don't do it, trust me.

16. Assuming you can just Venmo people

We have gotten too comfortable with leaving our wallet at home and assuming we can just send money via Venmo if we need to. While at home this break you should probably bring your debit card.

If you want your parents to actually let you go back to school after break, remember to steer clear of these habits while you're home.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
