There are many (stranger) things we all can relate to in college. Whether it's studying for a huge exam or spending time with your best friends, it will be the best and hardest time of your life.
1. When you finally understand a concept while studying
One of the greatest moments while studying is when something just clicks. It’s when the light bulb finally goes off in your head. It feels empowering, and now you feel like you can conquer your exam with ease.
2. When your professors schedule multiple exams the same week
Three exams in five days. It seemed like a foreign topic until you got to college. The panic sets in, and so you ration out the hours per day to give yourself the most efficient study time. We all do it.
3. When you come home from a night out
4. When you wake up in the morning and decide if class is worth it
That awful moment when you wake up to rain, freezing temperatures, or even just a busy day. College gives us chaotic schedules, and coffee becomes critical for survival. If you haven’t contemplated what it would be like to lay in bed and skip class, then props to you.
5. Getting to see your friends after a long day
College is hard but knowing that you get to see your friends after a long day makes it worth it. They are your support system, your shoulder to cry on and extra closet when “nothing seems to fit." College friends are the real deal.
6. Leaving the grocery store and ignoring your budget
You go to the store knowing clearly the amount you have to spend, but those chocolate chip cookies are totally worth going over budget for. You try to rationalize with yourself -- I just got an A on my paper, so I can totally treat myself.7. Leaving home after a long break
8. The Walk of Shame: exam style
The moment you walk out of the testing room and back into reality. You haven’t seen the daylight in a few days, and you’re wondering if it was really worth it. The question you debated answers on repeats in your head, and you try to analyze what your grade will be after the exam.
9. Registering For Classes
There is a reason your search engine recognizes “Rate My Professor." You create your schedule to your liking, and upon registering, it never works out. Registering for classes is stressful. You have to graduate in four years and have the best professors, like duh, why is that so difficult??
10. Knowing this is the time of your life
Although it is only four years, it is the time of your life. The real world seems scary. Never again will you be given the same opportunities to have fun, be young, and to grow as a person.
