Maybe you graduated college in four years, but for everyone, that is not the case. There are tons of pros and cons about taking an extra year or two to graduate college. But you know what? There are some definite pros of taking an extra year. There are some things at college that no matter how much you think you know about campus life, you just cannot know until you've been here, and have been around the block a few times. These five things are serious advantages of being a super senior.


1. Visits.

I know that it sucks that many of your friends have graduated and moved, but the good thing for now is that when everyone wants to plan a reunion odds are they are going to be willing to come to you because you love where it all started.

2. Adult status.

Sure, we are technically “adults” but we aren’t fully submerged into the adult life style. Most people I know in college aren’t working a 9-5 job, can go out when the want and are not really worried too much about the consequences.

3. Dealing with professors.

By now, you really have the swing of this college thing down. You know how to approach your professors in ways that show them you care about the class, causing them to be more willing to help you.

4. Knowing the town.

By now, you know this place like the back of your hand. You could get to the buildings on campus with your eyes closed. You know all the bar specials; you know what restaurants do specials. You are a pro now.

5. No fomo.

You’ve been around too much to get upset. So passing up that whiskey sour to lay in bed and watch Netflix isn’t as difficult anymore.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
