9 Things That Are Only Acceptable On A College Campus

In college, no one cares that you're sleeping on a bench outside of class.

Being a college student is both exhausting and exciting at the same time. If you're a college student, you've either seen (or more likely, done) some of these things.

1. Sleeping anywhere and everywhere

In high school, if you fall asleep in class, people will make fun of you or you may even get your picture taken. In college, no one cares that you're sleeping on a bench outside of class. Honestly, they may even wish they were you.


2. Wearing PJs to class

Before I started college, I had a college professor tell me that one girl showed up to his class every day in her pajamas. I promise you do not have to dress up for class.


3. Finding odd ways to get to class

I saw a picture of a girl riding a Barbie jeep to class so she didn't have to walk. All I could think was "genius". There is a guy at JSU that rides a unicycle to class every day, like it's normal.


4. Sleeping/watching Netflix all day

Last year, my roommate and I would dedicate full days to catching up on sleep. In college, this is totally normal.


5. Sitting in the dining hall for hours

There have been times when me and a few friends have sat in the dining hall for what seemed like forever, just talking, and munching. Also, no one cares how much you eat. You go back and get another plate of fries, girl.


6. Taking six trips to Walmart in a week

You're bored? Go to Walmart. Your friend is bored? Go to Walmart. You put on real clothes for the first time this week? Go to Walmart.


7. Not washing your hair for a few days

College students understand that you may not always have time to wash your hair every day. Everyone knows why you're wearing a hat to class.


8. Asking Mom for money

The struggle is so real that it is almost unreal.


9. Saying "no"

Your friends will understand when you say "no" to a night out. They know your school work is way more important.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
