College is such a beautiful part of our lives. Filled with fun, insanity, and humor, it is sometimes a good decision to look at it with light heartedness and dark humor, at times, too. Here are some highlights from college, as explained by the infamous villain from the movie, "The Shining", Jack Torrance :

1. First day.

How perfect does life seem ! Remember your first day of moving in and looking into your mirror and making this face to yourself? Remember feeling awesome as you made friends on the first day itself and got ready to go to a club, looking fly and made this face to yourself, as if you were saying,"who's the man now, huh?"

2. Homesickness.

Being in college is a whole new experience. We all feel homesick at some point. Don't you just want to go back running to your mom sometimes and yell at the top of your lungs, "I AM HOME!"

3. The Library.

How can one forget the time they went to the library just a day before their final exam, only to find a group of people talking loudly, as if they were on a talk show? You stand there in your pajamas trying to study and well, there they are, not caring at all. Well, Jack Torrance feels you and knows the pain of being constantly distracted.

4. The Stress.

Finals week is about to dawn upon us, and well, nobody gets out alive. Just kidding, we all can make it. But while we stress about college, and our parents try to calm us down, telling us that we will be fine no matter what, Jack Torrance provides a very real insight into what we all want to say. "Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities?" Sigh.

5. The Professors.

Going to class is a stretch. Sometimes we like our professors, and sometimes, we don't. We all have at least one professor, who refuses to hear even one word, when we try to explain why we are late, or why we could not attend class.

6. The Hookups.

After a night of clubbing, dancing with a guy/girl, and flirting with them, you finally end up in your dorm/apartment. Jack Torrance knows the rush you are feeling. We know that just like him, you want them to have a really good time, too. Stay safe, and enjoy yourself.

7. The Friendships.

Ah, the wonders of finding good friends in college! Somewhere along the line, we all make great friends in college, and start loving them like our family. Love, and cuss words, yes, they pretty much sum up our amazing bond with our college friends. Nobody can even dare hurt them.

8. The Study Breaks.

Remember that study break you took in the beginning of the semester for a quiz five months ago, that has lasted all this while? Yes, that is exactly what I am talking about. College can get so hectic sometimes, that, truly, a five month break is exactly what we all need.

9. The Relationships.

If you are lucky enough to fall in love with someone during college, cherish them. Please don't creep them out the way Jack Torrance creeps his wife out. Especially on the first date, try to stay away from calling them your "darling," because, well, college makes us all wanting a boyfriend or girlfriend, but a potential boyfriend/girlfriend does not need to know how desperate we are.

Filled with all the quirks and perks, college is an experience like no other. It is important to cherish it and power through it. This incomparable phase of our lives might never come again, and it's always fun to have a positive outlook on it.
