30 Little Things We Love About College
Sam Kuchinski

As college students, many of us roughing it in off-campus apartments or living the sub-par dorm life. We either gain a billion pounds from the sometime questionably edible dining hall food or we survive off of Easy Mac and ramen. However, these are undoubtably the best years of our life so far. We don't really care that we don't have the luxuries of home because we're finally on our own.

In the case, though, that you need a simple reminder of the little luxuries and simple things we have in our new humble abodes and lives, here are 30.

1. When the showers are actually warm.


2. When the dining hall has your favorite food.


It's rare, but it's exciting.

3. When it's above 40 degrees walking to class.


Us Western New Yorkers really know that one

4. Getting care packages unexpectedly.


5. The oddly satisfying feeling of putting your dishes on the carousel in the dining hall.


Those who had to do dishes at home know the feeling

6. All the free stuff you can get from job fairs, club fairs, etc.


You never know how many drawstring bags you need.

7. Finally washing your sheets and laying in bed.


8. Getting to bed before midnight.


9. Student discounts at local stores.


Thank you, Subway and Tasty Time.

10. Never having to eat a meal alone.


11. Waking up for an 8:30 A.M. and somehow not being exhausted.


12. The feeling of finishing a really long paper.


You will complain while writing it, yet there really is no better feeling when it is done.

13. Having time to take a nap in between classes.


14. Getting a friend's Hulu or Netflix password.


(A blessing and a curse.)

15. Balancing your first balance sheet in accounting 201.


In the words of Professor Bysiek.

16. Having your friends visit and getting to show off your new home.


17. Looking back at pictures from earlier in the year.


You'll be glad you took them

18. Going for a joy ride.


As much as you love it, sometimes you need to actually leave campus for a bit.

19. Getting your schedule down to the minute.


Because you never want to be too early for class.

20. When the buffet lines are short in the dining hall.


Extra clutch during breakfast.

21. A freshly microwaved bowl of Mac N Cheese in hand


...while laying in bed, watching "Friends."

22. Knowing that heaven in a box (pizza) is only a phone call and 30 minutes or less away at the earliest hours of the morning.


23. Acing a really hard test/midterm/final.


24. When you look on point going out on the weekends.


Again, you will be happy you took pictures.

25. Group cuddle sessions with the best friends.


Any day, any time.

26. Holidays.


We all know they're bigger and better in college -- like how much did we really care about St. Patrick's Day at home?

27. Studying outside.


It is even better when none of your papers blow away.

28. Having a randomly, extremely productive day.


29. Cleaning your dorm room.


And, even though we love our new called home and are sad to leave, the best feeling will always be...

30. Giving your parents a hug after not seeing them for month when it's time to go home.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
