Sure, college is great. You're on your way to your future career, meeting new people, learning new things, all good stuff. But there's some parts of college that I could definitely live without. And the thing is, no one told me about these things. That's why I'm here, to tell you, so beware.

1. Shaving your legs in communal showers is a goal only Olympic gymnasts can achieve

I'm not even kidding, it's so hard. Trying to prop your foot against the wall until it slips and before you know it your're sitting on the shower floor wondering how you ended up in this situation. Not to mention the fact that you're sitting on the shower floor, which is already the worst case scenario.

2. The lines to get food are longest when it's most inconvenient. Every. Single. Time.

It seems like whenever I want to eat, so does my entire campus. I swear I can stand in line for a half hour before I get to the front. Not to mention that this annoys the servers just as much, so you can expect a sprinkle of attitude with your meal.

3. Everything is extremely overpriced. Everything.

You really thought I was about to buy 10 grapes for $3? Let me know why it's cheaper to buy two grilled cheese sandwiches than it is to buy a salad. America.

4. People at the gym are judging you

I see you looking at the speed on my treadmill. Yes, I know it's not going as fast as yours. And yes, I'm aware that we've been having a silent battle for the last twenty minutes seeing who can go faster.

5. Teachers pick favorites, and you'll know if you're one of them

I don't know what type of witchcraft you need to become one of the teacher's favorite students, but it definitely exists. If you find out, let me know, because I really need to not have an average of 89.99 again.

6. If you don't have friends with cars, well, sorry

Whether you need something from the grocery store, or a critical supply for class, if you aren't hooked up with a solid ride, expect to wait on the weekend shuttle. And, really, if you want to do anything other than sit around, you need a car.

7. Your sleep schedule is gone

No matter when you go to bed, when you wake up, etc., something is going to mess with your sleep schedule. I swear I can be asleep by 11 and still wake up the next afternoon feeling like I just escaped a time warp.

8. Laundry machines are fought over like the last slice of cornbread at Thanksgiving dinner

You might think, hey, no one would take my soaking wet clothes and put them on the floor just because I'm 3 minutes late. Wrong. There is no justice in the laundry room. You'll never know who disrespected your clothes until you're in a war.

Don't get me wrong, college is pretty cool. You learn to be independent and make new memories at the same time. But of course, as with anything, there are downsides. I'm here to warn you, like no one did for me.
