7 Things You Think While SeeingĀ  Prospective Student Tour Groups On Campus

In This Article:

No matter what college you attend, there's bound to be student tours somewhat frequent, at popular colleges this is usually daily. Here are seven things that go through the minds of current students seeing prospective students touring.

1. Can they walk any slower?

I'm already five minutes late for my class, let's pick up the pace.

2. Don't throw up in the bushes

Giphy

Tour guides on Fridays should probably add, "And to the right, we see someone recovering from Thirsty Thursday."

3. They look so young

Giphy

Are juniors and seniors in high school starting to look younger and younger, or are high schoolers starting to tour colleges as freshmen?

4. Did I look that innocent on my tour, too?

"Mom, don't ask any questions!"

5. Stop looking at me

Giphy

Do I look like a worn out mom of three? Just wait until it's your turn to look this rough going to class, kid.

6. Their parents are definitely alumni

Giphy

You can always see those parents with a t-shirt on with the college's name who tries to one-up the tour guide by adding in more information from when "they were a student."

7. If I were their tour guide it'd be a different kind of informative

Giphy

"This is the dining hall closest if you live over here. It will also almost never agree with your stomach."

Although they sometimes may walk way too slow, seeing tour groups allows for stimulating thoughts while walking to class, in contrast to the normal observations.

"Friends" maybe didnā€™t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, Iā€™m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
