1. Business Casual
Who would have thought lounge wear, aka pajamas were trendy in college? Not only is this fashion statement appropriate for lecture, but it’s functional for daily use as well. The library, the grocery store, the mom and pop restaurant down the street, the club....you name it, and it works.
2. Calling Campus Security For Pathetic Events
You pay for these amenities, why not use them? You never know when you may need assistance- Security is on call to protect your well-being, right? The next time you find a creepy crawly while exfoliating at 3 am, save yourself the emotional trauma and grab professional help ASAP.
3. Mooching Munchies
Don't feel shameful scalping leftovers from your second cousins, friend. Food is expensive and life is hard coping with Whole Foods taste on a Walmart budget.
4. Campus Wide Napping
The midday crash is real. Instead of attempting to nap as your roommate precariously makes unwanted noise, head down to the library for a snooze. It's quiet, there is usually comfortable seating and it will you save you money as you won’t need to buy that latte you thought about at 3 pm. Maybe you will even become smarter sleeping next to the books- Is knowledge diffusible by osmosis?
5. Delinquent Decor
Yes, I'm referring to stealing spoons, forks, knives, etc. from the cafeteria to furnish your apartment. Don’t deny it, we all know you were never planning to return the plastic cup. This also includes the plastic silverware sets with napkins in the campus coffee shop.
6. Resourceful Domestic Science
There should be a universal contest for the most creative ways to prepare food while living in a dorm. Top Ramen in the coffee pot, pizza on the iron, this is not the path less traveled. Creativity is imperative for the heinous realities of dorm living.
7. Not Sleeping For Two Days
The worst college reality you will ever face. I’m willing to proclaim, finals are simply a university social experiment to drive you to madness.
8. Driving Your A** to Class
Sometimes, a 10 minute walk at 8 am is an absolute no.
9. Broke Bottom Feeder
A mentioned previously, food is expensive. Ordering appetizers as a main course in a restaurant is perfectly fine. Save the couple bucks and settle on half the quesadilla.
10. Setting Alarms for No Good Reason
Sometimes you forget to eat, go to sleep or water your plants. Miscellaneous alarms throughout the day should remind you of your responsibilities. Don't judge, it's a form of time management.
