As told by "Modern Family"

College, like "Modern Family" lines, can be dramatic. A lot can happen in a day, bringing loads of emotions (both positive and negative). Some days you just want to smack the guy behind you for his ridiculous gum chewing, while other times you just want to be anywhere but in class. Would it be possible to transport myself from this lecture hall to my dorm room, or even better, to my house? Below are a few "Modern Family" lines that most college kids can relate to on a daily basis.

1. When your alarm goes off an hour before your morning class.

Why did I think I could handle morning classes? Especially on a Monday!

2. When your in class and you have another two hours before you can get food and go back to your room.

3. When you're taking a major test that you've been stressing out over for days, and the kid behind you won't stop obnoxiously smacking his gum.

I'm already unprepared for this test; I don't need your unnecessary chewing to distract me.

4. When you are trying to participate in math class but your brain is exhausted.

5. When you shout out a random answer and it turns out to be correct.


6. When it's finally lunch time, but you have no friends to eat with.

Don't mind me, just going to grab this salad and bring it back to my room so no one sees how lonely I am.

7. When your laptop dies while you're writing an essay, and you turn your laptop back on to find that none of your masterpiece saved.

Could today get any worse?

8. When you eventually rewrite your essay and email it to your professor for feedback, completely forgetting that she can see your document's title.

Do you think I'll lose points for that? Oops.

9. When your roommate comes back from class and tells you the name of her new crush.

They don't refer to me as Gossip Queen for nothing. I can tell you everything about his spring break trip to Florida.

10. When it's almost dinner time and you haven't done anything productive all day.

11. When the dining hall doesn't have anything that looks edible for dinner, so you make the wise decision to eat cake for dinner.

12. When the day is coming to an end and you decide to lay back, relax, and watch a good movie.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
