When you go to college you're supposed to become an adult, right? Yes, but at what cost? Sure you should become more reasonable and responsible, but that shouldn't disclude the things that are considered "childish". Here is a list of some traditions you should NEVER give up while in college.

1. Trick-or-treating

With Halloween coming up, this one was bound to be on the list. Grab some some people and go out to whatever Halloween bash is going on! You're NEVER to old for free candy.

2. Themed cookies

Maybe this is just a me thing, but every year, on multiple holidays, Pillsbury comes out with their special holiday cookies. For some reason these cookies are THE BOMB! Make sure to grab a few close friends (because you're not going to share those amazing cookies with just anyone) and bake them in the nearest oven! And yes, it is normal to eat them all in one sitting.

3. Cinnamon rolls

Maybe I just really have a thing with food and holidays...okay I DO have a thing with food and holidays, but baking cinnamon rolls in the winter is a great way to get the whole family together. Even though you'll most likely be home for the winter holidays, get your #squad together before you all leave and spend time away from each other. You'll be #squadgoals #5ever! I had to add the puns... #SorryNotSorry

4. Random dance parties

This can be a GREAT stress reliever! It's fun when you get to be silly and forget about life for a few moments. You can either reunite #squad, or you can invite your least judgmental friend over so you two can dance all of midterms away.


5. Petting puppies

This one is pretty much something nobody would ever give up because DOGS! BECAUSE...DOGS! They're adorable, awesome, and fluffy. Just be careful though, with the fluff can sometimes come allergies. I wouldn't suggest inviting multiple people with you for the sole reason of DOGS! What I meant to say was, for the sole reason of being completely selfish and keeping all the fluffy puppies to yourself. Just don't dognap. Ever.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
