Small School Problems and Perks

There is never anything wrong with attending a small school.

Small School Problems and Perks

If you chose to attend a small college, you might be familiar with everything on this list.

1. The dreaded walk "all the way across campus" takes less than 15 minutes.

Fifteen minutes too long AMIRITE?

2. You will probably wave at literally every person you pass because you know them all.

Or just awkward nod, but still.

3. If you skip class your professors will wonder where you are.

They still won't care, but they will at least notice.

4. And the next class excuse:

"I was under the weather" won't count because you'll probably pass them on your way to get a greasy sandwich for your hangover.

5. You make tons of friends freshman year because the entire "class of ___" lives in the same building.

Love thy neighbor, right?

6. Your entire university will always show up at the same places for parties.

The phrase "OMG I wasn't expecting to see you here" isn't true. You know you were.

7. The dining hall ladies are the SWEETEST and are open to requests.

"Thanks for all breakfast for dinner and chocolate chip pancakes, Ang!"

8. Campus police are your best friends and didn't bust those gatherings you threw in the dorms last semester.

9. If you're an athlete, everybody and their mom knows your business.

10. Having raging school pride is kind of awkward because your school doesn't have a football team.

"GOOOOOO uhhhhh *insert sport here*!"

11. But all in all, you love your school!

Never look down on a small college/university. It could be the best decision you have ever made. Always have an open mind, regardless of the circumstances.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
