Kids seem to get away with everything they possibly can, whether its somehting as innocent as picking up random bugs, or something as weird as shoving random things up their nose. We, as adults, can't get away with these things sadly. But here are 17 things that kids can get away with, that we cant!

1. Spitting out food when you don't like it.

Or storing it in your cheeks like a hamster instead of chewing it. Just swallow, it'll be okay.

2. Just eating the pieces you like and leaving the rest.

You willbe silently judged.

3. Picking up random bugs you see.

You might be inclined to stop, but the person you're with would probably rather keep walking.

4. Eating Play-doh.

It was so salty and soft, but it's made for hands, not eating.

5. Sticking random things up your nose.

It's generally frowned upon, and that pea belongs in your mouth, not your nose.

6. Falling asleep where you want, whenever you want.

It's not as cute when you're an adult, asleep at a table with drool coming out of your mouth. always. plan. your. naps.

7. Asking "why" whenever you don't understand something.

We rather just know than to keep asking over and over.

8. Treating your skin like a canvas.

you can't just pretend to be a tiger whenever you feel like it anymore.

9. Eating food off of the floor.

We have to pretend like we abide by the "five-second rule."

10. Covering your hands in glue, waiting for it to dry, and then rejoice in peeling it off.

Ok, you've probably done this at least once in your adult years.

11. Wearing clothes inside out.

On a college campus, you could probably get away with this. An office atmosphere? not so much.

12. Drawing bad pictures of people and having them claim you're Picasso.

It's harder to earn a spot on the fridge now.

13. Throwing a tantrum when you can't get something at the store.

You have these annoying things called self-awareness and embarrassment.

14. Throwing a tantrum because you didn't get your way.

Refer to number 13 above.

15. Hanging around in clothes covered in stains.

It's like were expected to be clean or something all the time.

16. Getting overly excited when you get offered fruit snacks and juice.

You can't act like you haven't seen food or water in days.

17. Being obnoxiously loud.

It's not as cute when you yell everything you say.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
