If you've been in college, you have gotten extremely used to living with other people. Whether it be dorm rooms or apartment complexes, you've had to share your space. Sharing your space seems like a hassle most days and you can't wait until you have a bathroom to yourself.

When summer comes around and your roommates go home, you think it's going to be a good time, until it actually happens.

I'm going to have the entire place to do whatever I want!

No pants 24/7, I get to pick the Netflix show and I don't have to share my snacks.

There's sooo much space for all of my stuff!

Wow, I don't have to move 10 things to reach my milk from the fridge and I can leave my stuff everywhere.

It's so quiet with no one here.

​Did I think that out loud or did I actually say it?

It's actually really creepy here when three other people aren't around.

​Did I just hear something? I just heard something. Someone is definitely trying to break in.

Is this what adults who live alone feel like?

Not sure if I'll ever be able to live alone.

I wonder what my roommates are doing...

This is where you start stalking their social media accounts and judging their friends from home.

Maybe I'll just send them a little text and see if they're coming back to visit.

They will probably come back and visit soon. Home is probably way too boring. Wait, you aren't coming back until school starts?

Whatever, living alone is great!

It's no biggy, I have other friends here!

I use to talk to a girl in Econ and we bonded over our mutual struggle in the class. She'll def want to hangout.

OK... I miss them.

Eating junk food and going on spontaneous shopping trips just isn't the same.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
