18 Signs You've Been At Meredith Too Long

It’s obvious that everyone changes when they go to college. You have new friends, a new environment, new classes and a new home. Meredith College is a great place to grow, explore and change. I have spent two years here in Wonderland, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I have seen the amazing things girls can do here and what I can do myself. It’s funny to see how everyone changes and how living here for two years might just be long enough to conform to the new environment around you. Here are a few signs you have been at Meredith too long and conformed to the social norms we have here at Wonderland.

1. You wear your pajamas to the dining hall, class and probably the store a few times.

2. You put makeup on once a week, and when your friends from other schools see you during the week they barely recognize you.

3. You are perfectly content staying in and watching Netflix with your friends.

4. You never want to leave your roommate. They have become your best friend and your roommate for life!

5. You wear a tutu and crown any chance you get -- Cornhuskin', Stunt, Miss America pageant, Halloween, Christmas and anywhere else socially acceptable.

6. You have been asked at least five times, “Are you scared of becoming a lesbian?”

7. You have a pair (or pairs) of Sheila Hoops.

8. You have a countdown until Corn every year, and it starts the minute breakfast after Cornhuskin' ends.

9. You do your Corn dances even when Cornhuskin’ is long gone because it's fun and a great skill to have when that certain song starts playing where you can bust a move anywhere.

10. You wear Uggs from October until March and probably during the other months too.

11. You have bought enough leggings to last you a week or two without doing laundry -- plain, patterns, colors, you have them all!

12. You feel like this while eating a good meal after living off of BDH for a few weeks.

13. You know every student and professor in your major, minor, hall and dorm. You probably also follow the whole Meredith population on every form of social media.

14. You babysit or nanny.

15. You go to DH Hill to study because the library at Meredith is too crowded and you need a good spot to hide from other people in your class.

16. You currently have, or have had, a countdown until your onyx! (One-and-a-half more semesters 2018! We can do this!)

17. You have attended a dance party in the dining hall, and you have wobbled more times than you can count.

18. You can’t imagine going to school anywhere else.

Meredith might not be for everyone, but it certainly is a great place for you to spend four years. I don't want to leave, but it makes me happy to know that I will adjust to the Meredith norms and will graduate a true MCG.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
