I think everyone can agree that college is a fun yet extremely stressful time. We have to worry about tough academics as well as gearing up for our careers and also finding time to take care of our physical and mental health. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to take a break and let ourselves unwind. So, here are times college kids just need a McDonald's fries run.
1. When that one kid in the group project isn't pulling their weight
We all know these people. The ones who chill with their phone while you and the rest of the group scramble to get your work done. They offer no help at all and leave you and your team to figure everything out yourself. Sometimes there are more than one of these people in your group and, sometimes, they're all like this and you need to fend for yourself. During times like these, a McDonald's run will do you good.
2. When that one professor sounds like they are speaking a different language
Sometimes you can leave a lecture feeling like your professor just spoke in klingon for an hour. This would be a great time to head on over to the golden arches.
3. When you have early morning classes
Nothing like an after-class treat of delicious, golden fries to wake you up after taking class when it's still dark out.
4. When you're applying for internships
Is there anything more stressful than thinking about your future career? Sitting down to fill out applications with fries by your side will make it less painful, I promise.
5. When you have to do an interview
To celebrate being a winner and a legit adult.
6. When you have to give a speech
Public speaking is the #1 fear in the U.S., even ahead of a fear of death. So, this wouldn't be a bad time for a cheat meal.
7. When the people living above you sound like they're raising a herd of elephants
Seriously, what could they be doing up there that makes their footsteps so dang loud?
8. When you just can't sleep
Whether you're stressing about the next day or just can't get comfortable in that twin bed of yours, some fries might be just the midnight snack you need.
9. When you have to read that one really boring textbook
There's always that one class that has extremely boring reading, and you need to mentally psych yourself up every time you sit down to study. Sitting down with some fries is sure to help.
10. When you have the dorm/apartment to yourself
It is always important to have some alone time. What other way to celebrate than treating yourself??
