5 Things College Students Do That We Know We Probably Shouldn't

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
