"I hate myself" is a sentence I hear either from myself or friends on the daily. Usually multiple times a day.

Why, you ask? Here are 20 reasons why college "hate themselves":

1. Finals

Why do I need to take tests throughout the semester and then take a big test over all the smaller tests at the end of the semester?

2. Teachers

Some of y'all are cool and some of y'all aren't.

3. Class

Mostly just the classes that you can't miss unless you want your grade to be affected.

4. 8 a.m. classes

Way too early.

5. 9 a.m. classes

Not as early, but still early.

6. Early classes in general

Classes shouldn't start until at least 10 AM.

7. Actually just class in general

There are just some (most) days we do not want to get out of bed

8. Just life

Because of every other reason listed.

9. Work

We go to class full time and have to work to afford anything extra that we want

10. Boys/girls

We may be more mature now that we’re in college but we still don’t know what we want.

11. School wifi

It’s. So. Slow.

12. Class, again

We want to stay in bed.

13. Homework, that we may or may not have

It's rarely ever for a grade so why give it to us?

14. Tests

We don't study and even if we do, we forget everything by the time we get the test.

15. We're out late every night.

Studying, or just chilling with friends.

16. We don't pay attention.

We have the attention span of a goldfish.

17. We're forgetful.

When we do pay attention, it usually goes in one ear and out the other.

18. We wear the same outfits multiple days in a row.

Leggings and a hoodie are our go-to outfits.

19. We don't do laundry as much as we should.

Hence why we wear the same outfit a lot of the time.

20. We do stupid things.

We're in college. We live and learn.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
