11 Wonders Of The College World That Will Take Your Breath Away Like Looking At The Taj Mahal

Waking up to an email that says class is canceled definitely rivals the view of the Taj Mahal. College students dream of canceled classes, nap breaks and saving money wherever possible. These things are so incredible and few and far between, that we can easily consider them our own college world wonders.

1. Student discounts

Giphy

Free soft drink with student ID? Yes, please. Also, thank you Spotify, Hulu and Showtime for only charging me five dollars a month for your much needed uses.

2. Canceled class

Giphy

*checks email for cancelled class

*goes back to sleep

3. No final exam

Giphy

Dear professor that does't think it's necessary to test us on everything we've supposedly learned the last four months, thank you. Sincerely, every college student.

4. Getting out of class early

Giphy

When the professor just stops talking and starts packing their things up when you still have thirty minutes of lecture left and you ask yourself if this is even real, because how could anything so great happen to you?

5. Open book exams

Giphy

Basically saying, "everyone gets an A". No complaints here.

6. Homemade meals (made by anyone, but ourselves)

Giphy

Going home and your mom makes your favorite meal for dinner because she knows all you eat is frozen pizza and day old pasta.

7. Free stuff

Giphy

You're giving away shirts just for attempting ring toss? I'll take one. Free popcorn if I sign your petition? Um, yeah sure I'll sign twice.

8. No textbook required 

Giphy

Number one, a couple hundred dollars saved. Number two, minimal reading assignments.

9. Game day

Giphy

Just a reason to wear super cute school apparel and pre game the football game all day with your besties. I'll take this perfect storm any Saturday.

10. No short answer

Giphy

This means I have a twenty-five percent chance of getting every question right. Nice.

11. Attendance not required

Giphy

You're telling me that I don't have to show up to this eight am class and I can still pass with an A? Could anything ever be greater than this?

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
