12 Things You Can Only Relate To If Your College Is As Small As Your High School

Calling all college students that go to a small school! Between the conveniently sized campus and the let's just say "limited" student body, there are many special characteristics that come with going to a small college. If this is you, these 11 things will sound like your daily life.

1. You see the same people. Everyday. Everywhere.

If you don't like your fellow classmates, Lord help you find a way to like them because there aren't many other options.

2. Being able to wear the same outfit everyday without people noticing is only a dream.

3. With the limited gene pool of people come limited dating options.

Starting to see the theme?

4. Skipping class sometimes isn't as easy as we all thought.

Aka professors will send you "concerned" emails about your attendance aka your cover is blown.

5. Campus is the perfect size. 

Who doesn't like waking up 10 minutes before class and ALWAYS making it with time to spare.

6. Professors begin to know your name.

Whether this is a good or bad thing for you, this is a big pro in the small college experience.

7. It can feel like you're back in the hallowed halls of high school.

8. It can feel as if you're living in a fish bowl. 

9. When the alumni come back for Homecoming, the real party begins.

10. Speaking of the alumni, you can really tell how much they loved their experience and how close they still are with everyone.

11. Somehow classes with more than 40 people is "big". 

12.  We can't even think about going to a bigger school.

What would we even do with ourselves? Panic probably.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
