15 Texts That You Are Definitely Guilty Of Sending Your Parents During The School Year

Netflix

Being off at school can sometimes be rough, whether you're close or far from home. If you're like me, you tend to call your mom at least once a day, every single day. Then after you hang up the phone, you text them right away. You text your mom or dad every day about anything. From food, your pets, random updates, jokes, etc. Our parents probably get annoyed with the text overload, but they love us too much to admit it. A lot of us can't wait to be on our own, but once you've left the nest you don't realize how much you actually need your parents. Here are 15 things you have, or will, text your parents while at school.

1. "What are you doing?"

Giphy

Just checking in, don't mind me.

2. "Can I see/talk to the dogs?"

Giphy

Sorry mom and dad, but sometimes I call just to check in on them.

3. "What are the dogs doing?"

Giphy

Checking in on the dogs several times a day is normal.... right?

4. "I'm stressed."

Giphy

I have too much homework, my professor is a total jerk, I don't have time to deal with it.

5. "Can you pretty, pretty please send me some money?"

Giphy

Every. College. Student. Ever.

6. "I'm dropping out."

Giphy

Y'all, school is HARD.

7. "The food here SUCKS!!"

Giphy

They don't get it until you send a picture of what it looks like.

8. "I'm hungry."

Giphy

Probably because the food sucks.

9. "How do I get this stain out?"

Giphy

Also, is it really necessary to do separate loads?

10. "What do I use to clean this?"

Giphy

Is it okay to use Windex on this?

11. "You'll never guess what happened today."

Giphy

Spilling the tea with your parents is just so much better.

12. "I'm sick.... AGAIN."

Giphy

Even when you're not sick but you think you are.

13. "I want to come home."

Giphy

Whether you're homesick or just over school, this is a text you will send, without a doubt.

14. "Is this normal? Like is it supposed to look like that?"

Giphy

You will also attach a picture of whatever it is on your arm, neck, leg, etc.

15. "Why are groceries so expensive??"

Giphy

You think it won't be that much looking at your basket then you get to check out.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

Christopher Newport University

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
