The #1 Unwritten Rule Of College

Don't be that person.

The #1 Unwritten Rule Of College

We all have things that bother us, especially at school. Whether it's the sniffling student sitting next to you, or the extremely rude professor that's being paid with your tuition money, we have all had our fair share of being annoyed at school.

However, there's one thing that drives every college student insane, and you can't even deny it.

Changing seats after the first week of class.

That's right, I said it.

I mean, I guess we could give it until maybe the second week of classes. But that's it. And I mean it.

You can't just move your seat around, especially after you hit the third week of classes. You're just asking for trouble. Someone already sat in that seat for 2-4 classes and you feel the need to throw everything off by sitting in that person's seat.

Watch how this unfolds.

You walk in and some awful person has sat in your seat before you even arrived. What do you do? Do you sit on the floor? Nah.The professor might think I'm weird. Do you leave the class? Nope I'm paying for this. Oh yeah, YOU TAKE SOMEONE ELSE'S SEAT AND THEN THAT PERSON HAS TO CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE'S SEAT TO SIT IN AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

It's really a vicious cycle.

So, rather than throwing off someone's day, continue to sit in the same seat that you've gotten after the first week of classes. Don't be that person.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
