10 Things You Thought You Would Never Do In College

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
