This will take a minute

College tuition, the financial aide office, registering for class, and countless other responsibilities all make college feel extremely difficult. Every semester comes with it's struggles and sometimes the best thing to do is laugh at them. So, here are 20 things only college students will understand.

1. How's the semester going?

2. Only bothering to keep up with your bank account once it hits $4.88.

3. Spending 8 hours in the library and only finishing 1 of the 5,000 assignments that are due.

4. Studying ALL day and still pulling an all-nighter to prepare for a test.

5. Halfway through the semester, you're ready to throw in the towel!

6. Having 2 tests, 3 quizzes, and a presentation all on the same day.


7. Waking up for an early morning class is the hardest thing you'll ever do.

8. During finals week everyone seems a bit zombie like.

9. *Zones out for 3 seconds and somehow misses 3 chapters, a test, and a quiz.*

10. "The only true wisdom is to know that you know nothing."-Socrates

11. Trying to answer a short response question when you don't really know the answer.

12. Just read the syllabus.

13. Trying to sound as professional as possible when sending an email and your professor's don't even notice.

14. In college, everything is expensive.


15. Snaccidents happen ALL the time!

16. Group projects are actually the worst.


17. Waking up and already being ready for bed.


18. One week you understand everything and the next you understand nothing.


19. On campus parking? It's just a myth.


20. When the exam is 10,000x harder than anything you practiced in class.

"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.

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?
