I Asked 16 People What They Missed Most About College And Students' Priorities Are Interesting

Fall always reminds me of college; i have so far been doing okay since graduating from SUNY Albany but I do get the nostalgic feel about college sometimes! I miss seeing my friends around, dance club, going to classes and just hanging out in dorms. I asked people what they miss most about college and here are the answers that I got:

1. "Being so close in distance with many friends!"
2. "Having many neighbors in similar stages of life. :)"
3."Hmm...I go with access and opportunities/access to articles and journals and a huge library; opportunities to study abroad, to attend guest lectures and guest speakers, to go to special screenings and events."
4. "I miss working towards a specific goal-graduating-and having a (more or less) fixed end date for when that would be finished, which made it feel like there was the opportunity for anything I didn't like about my situation at the time to change for the better once I was done."
5. "Living with and around friends."
6. "Drugs."
7. "Probably one of the things I miss most in life, football. Haha. Yeah, playing college ball was great. Only really liked three things about college personally; football, research, and being surrounded by friends."
8. "I miss friends too; Always having people to hang out with for sure."
9. "Being so close to all my friends that we could hang out at any given time."
10. "Having fun with friends and not having to stress about work or life." 11. "The friends who live far away now."
12. "Walking to bars!"
13. "College radio station and having my own radio show!"
14. "Having all my closest friends around all the time and being able to spend time with them whenever I wanted too or needed them! Now, we're lucky if we see each other once a month haha."
15. "Living so close to all my friends."
16. "I'd have to say, living with your friends. It was either that or my old routine every day."

So these are the answers I got. I will always cherish my college days!

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.

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.
