Let's face it: college is hard. We are in this weird limbo between childhood and adulthood and most of us aren't really sure whats going on! Sure, we have our high school education to give us a boost, but that's not saying much seeing as we were given almost not practical information on how to survive in the real world. Most of us are just trying to figure it out as we go along....here are a few examples.

On Health:

1. Wakes up with random pain in side

2. Looks up symptoms on Web MD (NEVER a good idea)

3. Comes to the conclusion that you are dying of some terminal illness

4. Exist in a battle of denial or despair for the next few days until the random pain goes away on its own or you go to the doctor like a normal human being.

On Sleep:

1. Lays in bed at some ungodly hour calculating the exact amount of sleep you can get if you go to bed right now, instead of going to bed at a reasonable time like a responsible person.

Ex: "If I go to sleep right now I will have exactly 3 hours, 43 minutes, and 54 seconds of sleep...that's healthy right?"

On Procrastination:

1. Live in a constant state of denial about your assignment until you cannot possibly put it off any longer

OR

2. Allow yourself WAY to much time for other things and think, "Eh, I've got plenty of time to finish an 8 page paper, I don't need the whole weekend"

But you do. You didn't think of that because you're a dumb college student that doesn't think things through.

On Utilities, Bills, Taxes, etc.:

1. Call home.

On Nutrition:

1. Thinking a salad or a few pieces of fruit can offset your hideous diet.

Ex: "If I eat 5 strawberries, that will make up for the 5 servings of Ramen I had today right?" Wrong.

On Consumption:

1. We all know that too much of anything is never good right? Well most of us really discover that in our college years.

2. Yes, that includes alcohol...and sugar....and caffeine.... Yes, there is such a thing as too much coffee, I promise.

On Finances:

1. Remain in a complete state of denial and refuse to check your bank account.

2. When you finally do, resolve to become the most frugal human being in existence and only spend money on what you absolutely need.

3. Keep this resolution until you get your next paycheck.

Let's be real guys, college is one big mess. But it's the perfect time to work out all your kinks, learn your lessons, and realize what it takes to actually be a successful adult one day. So get out there and (try to) take on the world! You got this.
