25 College Experiences, As Told By Sophia From 'The Golden Girls'

College is the time in our lives when we have a lot of new experiences. Most of these experiences are with our close friends or roommates, and they create memories that will last a lifetime.

As one of four roommates, Sophia Petrillo from “The Golden Girls” knows how we all feel when we experience these moments in college.

1. When your friend catches you up on their weekend adventures.

“How long is this story? I'm 80; I have to plan.”

2. Cooking for the first time in your apartment.

“Everyone is fine no one died, the home burnt down.”

3. Getting your first internship, and then finding out that it’s non-paying.

“Congratulations. Now you can get any job involving a cardboard hat.”

4. When your friend models what she’s wearing out to the Townhouses.

“It's too tight, it's too short, it shows too much cleavage for a woman your age.”

5. That time your friends judged you for drinking too much.

“I wish I could give her one of my kidneys; let her get up all night.”

6. Being told by your roommates to eat quieter when they are studying.

“These are Fritos, what do you want me to do, swallow them whole?”

7. When the syllabus says that the exam is next week, but the professor assigns it earlier.

“Tooth fairy, Santa Claus, Easter Bunny — I've been messing with your head for almost 60 years.”

8. Leaving the library with friends at 3 a.m. during finals week.

“He's alive alright, I poked him with a stick!”

9. The first time you have an existential crisis about your future.

“So, who's for popcorn?”

10. When you get a notification from the mailroom that you have a package.

“Your brother Phil, God rest his brain, sends the stupidest gifts, what kind of present is dental floss?”

11. Hearing your neighbors stumbling down the hall in the middle of the night.

“Oh, my God! Now she's with the other boyfriend! It's like living with Cher!”

12. Visiting with your parents on Family Weekend.

“I'm goin' out with my friends. Can you give me some money?”

13. Seeing your roommate’s dirty dishes piled in the sink.

“Well, I'm leaving. I found a compatible roommate. Here's my new address and phone number.”

14. The second time you have an existential crisis about your future and your friends witness it.

“Hey! You're not going to ask me what's wrong?”

15. Realizing that you shouldn’t have waited until the night before to start studying.

“I'm dying, Dorothy, Saturday night at 9, don't make any plans.”

16. Trying to speed up the process of getting dinner with friends when they’re busy.

“I moved that safe to the attic like you told me, can I have food now?”

17. Going to the first “darty” of the year at the beach.

“You drink out of a brown paper bag and suddenly everybody's your friend.”

18. When the professor starts explaining why the papers still are not graded.

“Excuse me, Rose. Have I given you any indication at all that I care?”

19. When someone knocks on your door as you’re cramming for a final.

“I hope it’s death!”

20. Listening to your friend tell you that they need to lose weight.

“The last time you went on a diet you turned into that guy from 'Silence of the Lambs', you did everything but butter my face.”

21. Finding a partner for a class project that you understand nothing about.

“It's great bringing two idiots closer together.”

22. Going home for the holidays and being asked what you did that semester.

“The same thing I do every day, I bought a nectarine.”

23. Sleeping in with your roommate on the weekend.

“You could light firecrackers in his nostrils, you won't wake him.”

24. When the professor tells your classmates that there won’t be a curve.

“I told them that two days ago. Tell them something new for $150.”

25. When your roommate promises not to eat a snack without you and you promise not to spend an hour in the shower.

“See that? Now we're both liars!”

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
