Do you ever have those moments in life where you just hate something that you are supposed to love? For me, I just cannot stand a lot of the typical things you are supposed to do in college. It is an isolating feeling to realize that you are an anomaly, but at the same time, it can feel kind of liberating to know that you have retained your true self even among the masses of people.
1. Pulling all-nighters.
I have never pulled an all-nighter in my entire life, either for school or for fun. I never procrastinate enough to have to stay up all night finishing an assignment, and I just value my sleep way too much to ever even want to try this one.
2. Eating fast food.
Call me crazy, but I really hate fast food. It hurts my stomach, and even as a child, I was never a huge fan of fries or burgers. While we all have breakdowns and binge eat food in college, I will never be the girl who Ubers through the In-N-Out drive-thru at 2 a.m. for a Double-Double.
3. I read for fun.
Even on top of my prodigious pile of textbooks, I am always reading a personal book on the side. It helps me decompress after doing hours of schoolwork, and when I procrastinate on my homework by reading, I feel less guilty.
4. I rarely watch TV.
While most college kids don’t actually watch shows on a physical TV anymore, binge-watching Netflix isn’t the bane of my existence. I tend to watch shows more in the summer and only keep up with shows I really love during the year.
5. I hate extremely loud rap music.
While rap is the current favorite in pop culture and clubs, I usually have never heard any of the songs they play at parties.
