What College Students Are Tired Of Hearing

Noiseless Chatter

I'm not entirely sure why I have heard these questions so many times or why people think it's necessary to ask them. Yet, here we are reading an article about it because over the years I've come to find out I'm not the only one overly annoyed with these questions. Sometimes, you hear the questions and you can brush them off while others make you want to repeatedly bang your head on your very expensive and unused college books.

1. Are you eating healthy?

Yes totally. Because being surrounded by cafeterias, food courts, Starbucks, pizza places that are open till 2 a.m. and staying up late studying is totally good for my healthy eating habits.

2. You don't skip any classes do you?

Absolutely not. All of my classes are SUPER important and teach me all the life skills that I need to survive. I really love hearing the Spanish professor babble for an hour and a half about her nine-year-old cat that looks "super adorable" when it sleeps.

3. Why don't you have a significant other yet?

Because I thoroughly enjoy being the third wheel and never having a date to any of the formals or parties. DUH.

4. You're never going to find a job if that's what you're majoring in.

I seriously appreciate your vote of confidence.

5. Are you excited about going back next semester?

Summer break JUST started yesterday... what do you think my answer is, lady?

6. College is easy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA okay bye.

7. Student loans can't be THAT bad.

Does that mean you're going to pay for them all for me?

8. Shouldn't you slow down on the coffee consumption?

Don't tell me how to live my life.

9. Why didn't you make Dean's List?

Because I'm above all those stupid "labels."

10. How do you think you did on your finals?

If we could all act like they didn't happen that would be great.

11. Shouldn't you be studying more often?

12. Do you get enough sleep?

Are the bags under my bags really not that obvious?

13. Did you gain the freshman 15?

I have zero self control.

14. Do you always dress like a bum?

Only on days that end in y.

15. You're going to be an adult soon are you ready for it?

It's a no from me.

16. You took longer than four years to graduate?

I'm sorry that we can't all be as perfect as your four-time middle school honor roll student.

17. How are you going to pay off your student loans?

Honestly, I'm not really sure. Say an extra prayer for me please.

18. How often do you go out and paaaarty?

Never. I'm snuggled up in my bed at 8 p.m. on the dot.

19. You don't call home enough.

Sorry I've been drowning in my ~~sorrows~~ school work.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
