I like college, but not everything about it.

7 Reasons to Hate College Campuses

I know I shouldn't be saying this because I love my school! I really do! Brockport has given me so many experience and I would not be the same person I am today if I did not decide to come here. However, sometimes the people and living arrangements make being on a college campus not as enjoyable as I hoped it was going to be. Here are a couple reasons why!

1. People don't know how to walk.

This is incredibly irritating when I am walking by myself and I pass a group five people, that decide they have to walk next to each other and make ME move over! I am one person! Please move over to your side of the street and don't make me step in a puddle. Also, not to mention a lot of people walk extremely slow! Getting stuck behind them when you only have five minutes to get to class is so aggravating!

2. Bedroom sizes.

This year, I am in a suite style room. For those of you that do not know what the size of a suite style room, it is about the size of a rich persons bathroom, maybe not even that big. In order to fit anything in a room, I had to have my bed lofted. It sounded perfect at first, but the struggle of climbing onto my bed every night is becoming increasingly unbearable.

3. Doing laundry.

I hate doing laundry in the first place and then add on the fact that the washers are either always taken or broken when I need to do laundry. For me, just to be able to do my laundry, I need to find a really obscure time to do it. That is why, most of the time I let my laundry pile up instead of struggle to find time to do it.

4. Walking down the stairs during fire drills.

I live eleven floors up. . .that is eleven flights of stairs to walk down during a fire drill. This means that after I'm finished walking allllll the way down the stairs during a fire drill I can either wait twenty minutes for a crowded elevator ride, or walk allll the way back up eleven flights of stairs.

5. Six people have to share one bathroom.

When I need to pee, I need to pee! I hate when I get home and neeeeed to go, but I come home to someone in the shower! I understand you need to shower, but my bladder waits for no one.

6. The internet connection.

Whether I'm in the middle of a quiz and my laptop loses internet connection or I'm just watching Netflix and there is no internet connection to watch my shows with! Res Net here is obnoxious!

7. Campus construction

For those of you at Brockport, you understand the frustration of campus construction. With the campus being renovated, it feels like I am living at a construction site. I'm sure it will look great one day, but that day is not today. Today the campus is just annoying.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
