20 Things You Hear In College
Collegefession.

College is simultaneously awesome and awful. Half the time you love what you do and can't wait to work in your field. The other half of the time you're entertaining thoughts about dropping out of college and becoming a hobo. Here's some things you've probably either said, or heard, when talking to college students.

1. Is it too late to withdraw from this class?

I know everyone has wondered this at least once during their college years.


2. I think I'm just gonna drop out of college.

If you haven't entertained this thought, you're lying.


3. Is it acceptable to wear the same shirt I wore yesterday?


Yes. Because you're Monday/Wednesday/Friday people don't know about your Tuesday/Thursday life.


4. Five more minutes!

Five more minutes of sleep won't completely disrupt my schedule, right?


5. Why do I have to wear pants?


Ah, yes. The eternal question.


6. I'm not going to my 9:25 and you can't make me.

You can skip class every once in a while. Just don't make it a habit.


7. I don't wanna go to class

No one does, bro.


8. Will there be snacks at this event?

This will determine how many people show up and how long they will say. Once the food is gone, I'm gone.


9. My prof is always late anyways.


You're not late as long as you get there before the Prof does.


10. We only have to wait 10 minutes before we can leave, right?

This rule is always confusing. Just remember, 10 minutes for Professors and 15 for Doctors. Now you just have to remember whether it's "Professor Smith" or "Doctor Smith."


11. Did we have homework?

If we did, I obviously didn't do it.


12. Can we just watch a movie today?

This one is probably more common among the film major classes. But it still applies to everyone.


13. I have time for coffee.

There is always time for coffee. Always.


14. I'll just wing it.

Presentations are really hard to memorize, after all.


15. It's bedtime.

Don't be deceived. Once that clock hits 11pm, I am out like a light.


16. One more episode.

Of course, my 11pm rule doesn't apply during a binge watch session. This show is just too good!


17. We have a test???

This is probably one of the most terrifying moments of your life. Hopefully the answer is, "not until next week."


18. What day is it?

This determines a lot. Like what class you're going to, or if you have a meeting.


19. I like your Chacos.

This is especially common at Asbury University. But hey, maybe other campuses have a chaco obsession. They are comfy.


20. Why did I take an 8am?

I don't know, but you should probably reevaluate your life decisions.

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
