10 Experiences In College That Seem To Come Naturally

1. The drink you want is usually not what comes out of the fountain.

Every time I'm craving some fruit punch, I get iced tea instead. But when it is fruit punch, I can't help but cheers to a good day.

2. Two words: Microwavable meals

Welcome to college. Our specials on the menu today include mac and cheese, ramen noodle soup, and hot pockets. For dessert, cake in a cup.

3. Netflix binges

There's no better way to end a long day of classes than watching five episodes of your favorite Netflix show.

4. The struggle and stress of sharing a bathroom

You're lucky if you haven't had to deal with the awkwardness of your suite mate walking in on you in the bathroom...

5. Lots of walking

Once you get done with the semester, you'll probably noticed what stellar calves you have from all the strolling around you do on campus.

6. Dreaming about having money

If you could describe a college student in one word, it would probably be broke. But that doesn't mean we can't day dream about getting that Friday paycheck to spend. Holla for a dollar!

7. Laundry

Ah, there's nothing better than laundry day. *Cue sarcasm*

8. Traditions

Whether it's the cheers in the football stands, the campus legends, or the haunted study halls, every college has their own unique traditions that you are bound to learn and love.

9. More (or less) sleep

It depends on your schedule, but college kids most likely get a lot more rest than they did during high school. Yet, some students lose a significant amount of sleep due to the nightly homework grind.

10. Meeting so many unique individuals

One of the greatest things about college is it vociferates diversity. You have the opportunity to get to know so many people from all over the country and the world. So take advantage!

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.
