Why is this an 8am?

Seriously, what superhuman is able to be alert and receptive to all this NONSENSE at this unholy hour.

I heard that we are going to make moonshine in class, when does that happen?

Can I drink the moonshine?

Okay, nevermind. I need a full sedative.

Is anyone getting this?

If they ask me about a resonance structure ONE MORE TIME...

Where did all these arrows come from, where do they go, where did the come from Cotton Eye Joe?

I need to sleep

Oh wait, if I sleep then I wont be able to study the minimum 25 hours a day I need to memorize all of this.

When you realize there is a whole section of this on the DAT/MCAT

cool cool cool coool

But then you see the study guide...

And for the first time all semester you think you might actually understand things.

But test day rolls around

When the test grades come back....

...and you've genuinely never felt so thankful for a 62 (nearly a C in orgo grades)

And the whole process starts over again

But it's all worth it because you're going to be a heckin' swell doctor/dentist/superhuman

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?

Adulting

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.

University of Dayton

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.
