7 Things I Found Totally Irrelevant Until I Came To College

A college is a place where you are taking your first steps into adulthood. You are at that awkward time in your life where you are trying to figure yourself out and who you are. There are plenty of things that I found irrelevant until college. And here are some of them listed down below!

1. An Agenda

To be honest in high school I had an agenda, but I did not use it as much as I do now. I would write in my homework that I had every so often but now, MY AGENDA IS MY LIFE. I know a little book does not seem that important, but it is crucial to have in college. I write out my whole day on my agenda and without it, I would honestly be lost.

2. Facetime

I know this sounds weird, but I find myself FaceTiming people all the time now. It might just be because Fort Myers has shitty service and facetime works better with the signal here. I also find myself using facetime more to see my families' beautiful faces and friends that go to different universities. It feels more personable than calling people on audio.

3. Coffee

I have always been a coffee addict, but now I drink it several times a day. Is that bad for you? I don't even know but all I DO KNOW is that I need it in order to get through my days. Catch me at the Starbucks in the library on the daily on campus.

4. Birkenstocks

My parents say that these shoes are typically worn in northern states a lot. But ever since coming to college Birkenstocks have been a huge trend here. There are so easy to just slip on your feet when going somewhere for a quick trip and I find myself wearing them to class all of the time.

5. Chik Fil A Breakfast

Lately, I find myself running to chick fil a for their breakfast meals when running late. Might not be healthy at all but trust me it is worth the try. Their breakfast is definitely life changing and so good. I get their chicken minis with hash browns and THEIR VANILLA COFFEE IS TO DIE FOR.

6. My Laptop

I never found myself using my laptop as much as I do in college. Might be because all of my assignments are put on to canvas, but without my laptop, I would not be able to do anything.

7. Greek Life Tees

I know this may sound dumb, but I would not be able to live without my comfort colored Greek life shirts. That is probably all anyone wears to a class or even if it's just to lounge around in your apartment. I love just being able to throw them on and look somewhat presentable since everyone else will most likely be wearing the same thing.

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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
