College isn't like what they portray it as in movies or TV shows. It's not parties and strict professors, it's stress and anxiety on top of becoming a caffeine addict.
But it's not all worrying over exams and deadlines, it's meeting new people and experiencing new things. So, in honor of my first year of college coming to a close, here are a few thoughts I've had throughout my first and second semesters.
1. Why do I have to do so many presentations?
In high school, you were only asked to do one presentation for one class, if any. Now, I have a presentation due for each class that I'm taking and it is not fun.
2. Ginko trees are so pretty, but why do they smell like that?
It's like a mixture between a garbage can and throw up.
3. ...What?
4. Why is there such a thing as an 8AM final?
My previous listicle goes into more detail if you're interested to hear my thoughts on this.
5. *When a professor reschedules a cancelled class* Why does life hate me?
Not cool. Not. Cool.
6. ......What?
7. I'm so hungry!
All of the time!
8. Why is my sandwich taking 20+ minutes to make?
Grilled chicken takes FOREVER to cook, especially when you're starving.
9. *When someone tries to take my sandwich because they ordered the same thing* No! My precious!
I ordered that chicken feta panini first! That is my sandwich that took 15 minutes to cook! That is mine!
10. These seats are too tall.
I'm barely 5'4, so those bar seats in Hawk's Nest are a pain to get in to when the actually seat is taller than my hips.
11. I'm too tired for this.
*Gets eight hours of sleep. Is still tired.*
12. Why did my article decide to disappear on me?
This last one happened to me as I was writing this piece and by the time I was finished with it I only had 20 minutes to throw this new one together.
