College is way too expensive to be living in dirty old dorms that were built in the 1950s, among other basic things college students should have but don't. Here are the top three things that should be provided by the university you attend:

1. Air conditioning

Since 90% of households in the United States have air conditioning, it is time for college dorms to step it up. No one should pay $10,000 a year to not even be provided a simple necessity in 2018.

2. A sink

Nothing is more annoying than waking up late and wanting to just get ready, brush your teeth and go. Having to walk down the hall could be a total detour when running late for class by a few minutes.

3. A refrigerator and microwave

In addition to the other things, colleges definitely have enough money to put a small fridge and microwave in a dorm. Having a fridge makes it much easier to store foods for the inconvenient times in the day when you might want to eat.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
