23 Ways College Is Just Like Kindergarten

You might think that you've matured into a sophisticated young adult. Those 18 years being raised by your parents have made you into a person that can (sort of) successfully make it in the real world. You're living on your own, you decide when you come home at night, and you even pay for things. You might really think that you're grown up. Well, you're wrong. Being in college is almost identical to being a young child in kindergarten in more ways than one.


1. Naps are a must.

2. You need snacks and lots of them.

3. Missing your mom is a common thing.

4. You cry over every inconvenience no matter how small.


5. You don't really know what's going on.

6. You still do lots of arts and crafts (cooler painting, duh).


7. Puppies make you so happy.

8. Being hangry every time you aren't fed.

9. Ice cream can shut you up in two seconds.


10. Frozen meals are your go to because you don't know how to cook.

11. You get excited when you find a dollar because you have no money.

12. Animated movies are phenomenal.


13. You have no sense of direction.

14. You constantly whine.

15. The opposite gender likes to play games.


16. You always need your sippy cup (coffee, juice, beer, milk, wine same thing).

17. Your parents figure out your entire life.

18. Vegetables are gross.

19. You spill on your clothes.

20. Sometimes you pee where you shouldn't.

21. You have lots of meltdowns.

22. There are so many new friends.

23. The opposite gender is disgusting.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
