As any college student we are pretty hooked onto certain things that have become the normal, that most people could actually live without. But, no that is not the case for us. We're not completely adults yet, therefore, we can get a little leeway on some of the things we think we MUST have. I mean you only go college once in a life time, right? Might as well milk it.
1. Cell Phone
This is your right hand, you literally take it everywhere with you. It is the first thing that wakes you up in the morning and the last thing you see before you close your eyes at night. It is always ready for when you need to get out of boredom.
2. Coffee
Did someone say Starbucks? This is the only source of energy that can keep you up until 3 am to finish an assignment that is due the next day. Caffeine is an addiction that every college student needs in order to survive. This eventually becomes a bad habit, but hey it is the best tasting liquid.
3. Laptop
This is literally your life line second to your phone. Every college student needs their laptop in existence in order to function, but also to pass their classes. Let's face it, without our laptops functioning for us the last 4 years, we would not be able to survive.
4. Netflix
Netflix occupies a lot of our time, I mean why else would we say "no" to Friday night plans? We would rather stay in and finish up our favorite tv series until 3 am before going out sometimes or should i say most of the time.
5. Sparknotes
I swear it is every students dream when you realize your entire book is on Spark Notes. Pshh.. no more reading the entire book for us... heck we're lucky if we get through the summaries at times.
6. Wifi
When there is no internet, there is no life. You actually feel like you lost your best friend. A little panic ignites inside of you because your computer will no longer connect to the wifi.
7. Cheap Wine
We all love a girls night where we can rack up on cheap wine and chill at home. Sometimes we just buy a bottle for ourselves and pretend we have no other responsibilities due the next day. Hey.. it happens, okay?
8. Instagram
Let's face it we love refreshing our instagram every 5 seconds of the day. When we are too early for a class we scroll on Insta, When we don't want to talk to someone you recognize, we scroll on Insta. Insta is our life savior of awkward people contact.
9. Google
Google is so appreciated. We use it to Google our research topics, but we also use it to Google our cold symptoms too, which more then likely scares us enough to go see a real doctor. Regardless, Google you are the real MVP.
10. Take Out Food
When you say you're actually going to cook tonight... we all know that will be a lie by the time you reach your apartment. Let's face it, eating out has become such a daily routine for most of us in college, I don't know why we even entertain cooking.
Don't even feel bad if everything on this list relates to your current situation. We are all young and we should be enjoying every bit of our youth, even if that means developing crazy habits.
