College Students Are the Same as 5-Year-Olds

We both really love naps…

College Students Are the Same as 5-Year-Olds

The moment students enter college we think we are invincible. Finally we're adults with responsibilities and independence. It is time to act mature and grow up.

Joke's on us.

If there is anything that college has taught me, it is that I am more like a 5-year-old now than any at any other point in my life. From the things we eat to the way we act, we are more like 5-year-olds than we realize.

1. Poptarts, Kraft Mac n’ Cheese and fruit snacks all constitute parts of our daily diet.


“Hello kind dining hall server. May I please receive pasta, bread and more pasta? And please don’t let anything green touch my plate.

2. Naptime is the best time of our days.

Anytime, anywhere.

3. Morning is our least favorite time of day.


Let's just go back to nap time, shall we?

4. Our mood changes from laughing to crying in seconds.

The “I don’t know what I’m doing with my life" crisis is all too real.

5. We both play hide and seek.

Except now it’s hiding from your ex and his/her girlfriend/boyfriend.

6. No matter how old we get, we still need our parents.


“Mom, I need you to come rescue me because the real world is weird and scary, and I hate it.”

7. We expect someone else to clean up our messes.

“Don’t worry about leaving dishes on the dining hall table. Isn’t that the job of the dining hall servers anyways.” –every ignorant college student ever

8. Our concentration levels are nonexistent.

There's homework...but then there's also Netflix. After all, what's just one episode?...or two?

9. We eat with our hands.

The lowest point of college is when you realize you've run out of dish soap and aren't going to the store for the next week.

10. Germs don’t phase us.

Haven’t washed your sheets since college started? Well, what’s one more week?

11. Little things get us really excited.

“I didn't fail my exam today! I'm not going to be a college dropout WOOHOOO!"

12. We're both perpetually broke.

Free things? Sign me up!

13. Those 'epic fail' moments happen to us every day.


When you try to impress your crush but you end up making an even bigger fool out of yourself. #leavingthecountryforever

14. We still think we're the coolest thing since sliced bread.

No matter how many times your friends tell you that you can't dance, you never listen to them.

You're never too old to let your inner child shine. Sure, you may not have enough cash to buy food that's not Ramen noodles. Maybe you still don't know what you want to do with your life. At the end of the day, you know it'll be okay. One day you'll grow up and be an adult, but for now you're just having fun in the moment.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
