9 Things That Are Completely Acceptable Because You're In College

That wouldn't be acceptable otherwise

9 Things That Are Completely Acceptable Because You're In College
Vox

I never really noticed everything that is totally normal in college that wouldn't be normal if you were in your late twenties. The best excuse my roommates have ever said, "Who cares? You're in college. That's your excuse." And then bippity-boppity bam, nine things that are completely acceptable because you're in college.

1. Going out in public in your PJ's

If you did this at an actual job, you'd be fire the minute you walked in.


2. Dumpster diving for donuts and makeup is low key normal


No matter what anyone says, this is totally okay and sanitary as college students but as an adult, it's a bit concerning.


3. Eating pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner


It's all about the pizza.


4. Skipping class to finish work for another class


But let's be honest, if you skipped your shift for another shift at your other job... That would just be wrong. You'd be fire along with wearing PJs to class.


5. Being weird in public

I am so weird in public.


6. Taking an excessive number of naps


I'm like 98 percent sure if I napped as much as I did if I were 27, someone would probably be concerned about my mental health.


7. Stress Eating


In the adult world, stress eating isn't a thing. Because nobody understands stress like a college student.


8. Throwing yourself a pity party every other day


Once again, if I did this in my late twenties, someone would probably be really concerned for my mental health. But as a college student, it's almost encouraged to throw yourself a pity party every other day.


9. Binge Watching Netflix Shows


Because what kind of adult binge watches all 10 seasons of friends and then all 6 seasons of Shameless? They just don't.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
