High School Vs. College

Just embrace the change!

High School Vs. College
Townson English Language Center

Everyone tells you that college is so much different than high school, and it really is. They hound you about learning to be responsible since you will be on your own. They remind you that you better go to class because the teachers really do not care if you show up or not. There are many changes you're reminded about before starting college. However, there are some things that all college students do or go through that you were never told about before college.

Wearing pajamas to class

High school: "Yayyyy! It's homecoming week! I'm going to wear my cutest onesie."

College: I'm pretty sure no one ever dresses up for 8 AM classes. We all just roll out of bed and head to class not caring at all what we look like and not even trying to fix our make up or hair.

When someone skips class

High School: "Oh my gosh, they are skipping. I bet they are going to get into so much trouble if the teachers finds out!"

College: Literally no one cares at all. The teachers get paid no matter what.

Grades

High School: "I need to study really hard and make sure I have an A in every class I'm taking. I really need a 4.0."

College: "C's get degrees! Sleep is more important."

Falling asleep in class or around school

High School: "Oh my gosh, she's asleep. Let's take a picture of her to embarrass her!"

College: I am almost positive that college students can sleep anywhere that want and not care at all who sees them.


There's a chance that throughout college you will do or see all of these. It happens to the best of us.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
