6 Things College Students Say

"Where's the free pizza?"

When you're a college student, you probably expect yourself to say a lot of intelligent sounding gibberish that barely makes any sense to you. But there's also a few simple phrases that become quite common to your vocabulary.

1. "I'm broke!"

During college, there's plenty of reasons you'll have no money. Too often, you opted for those cheese fries from that sketchy fast food place instead of using your meal plan. You spend way to much money on your college's t-shirts, making your school spirit significantly outweigh your wallet. And you always seem to forget the hundreds of dollars you have to spend on overpriced textbooks each upcoming semester.

2. "I'm hungry!"

College puts a lot on your plate, both metaphorically and (thankfully) literally. There's plenty of food you can eat on campus, and you do eat it. But for some reason you're still always hungry. College students never stop eating. You, along with many other students flock to those boring meetings no one actually cares about because someone said there would be free pizza. Free food is the way to a college students heart.

3. "I'm busy!"

It's hard to find time for anything in college. With all those boring readings you have to do every night and all those projects you have to work on so you can pass a class will consume your life. You exaggerate, though. Sometimes, you'll spend more time complaining about how busy you are than actually working on finishing those things that made you busy in the first place.

4. "I'm lazy!"

There's times where you find yourself sleeping a little too long, making you lose hours to start that essay that's due at 2 PM. That one episode of that Netflix show you watch to help you "unwind" from a busy school day somehow turns into ten episodes and you really better hurry. But then it's the middle of the night and you told yourself you'd be done hours ago. Yet here you are, halfway asleep and not even close to halfway done with your homework.

5. "I'm tired!"

You love sleep. You take naps between classes, naps after classes, naps during classes. Seriously, it's frightening how much you want to sleep when the sun is still up. But it's not surprising considering all the time you spent watching Netflix last night. You keep telling yourself you'll go to sleep earlier but you never do. The loud neighbors you have in the dorm next to you don't help, either.

6. "I'm dying!"

College will kick your butt. You'll feel like you're dying a lot. When you have to pull those late-nighters, when you have to give that fifteen-minute presentation, when you fail a class. It happens.


Yeah, college has it's ups and downs. But that's all part of the roller coaster it is to getting your degree. It's all part of the amazing journey college will take you through. College is just as fun as it is challenging.

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.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

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.
