1. Either Staying Up Really Late or Pulling All Nighters

Most of us do it a lot and always regret it afterwards when we want to do nothing else but sleep at 2 p.m. the next day but we’re stuck in class till 4 p.m.

2. Midnight Snacks

I don’t know how many people actually tend to either order pizza around midnight or go out on late night Honey Farm runs, but from what I can tell a fair few of people at Becker College get really hungry around then and it always feels like a good idea until we realize that our wallets are empty by the end of the week.

3. Skipping Classes

Sometimes we get lazy in college and decide to sleep in and skip class. It always feels like a good idea at the time. You tell yourself that missing class is no biggie until you later realize and regret not attending because you totally forgot that something important was due. It happens to the best of us I guess.

4. Not Getting a Coffee

A lot of college students need their coffee, especially if you’ve got early classes. If I ever sleep in, rush to class and forget to get a coffee, I probably won’t operate very well.

5. Procrastinating

The amount of times I’ve found myself or seen others wait till the night before something is due to start working on it when we’ve had over a week to complete it is something I see all too much. Despite how much procrastinating sucks though, everybody still seems to always do it.


Different college students make a lot of different bad decisions that we usually end up regretting. However, the several bad decisions listed above are the ones myself and my friends most commonly make and we know that we probably shouldn’t.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
