There are many stereotypes of college kids. People watch movies, read books, and see news about the "typical" college kid. People who didn't go to college don't know what it's actually like and stereotype us college kids a bunch of different ways.

1. All college students party every night.


This is one of the biggest stereotypes. I can honestly say I can count how many parties I've been to in college on one hand, as can many of my friends. Some students party a lot, but I don't know anyone who parties every night. This is just irrational.

2. College students sleep all the time.

This is one of my favorites. Do people really think that we sleep all the time? I'm lucky to get 8 hours once a week.

3. College kids eat so unhealthy.


I have friends who are vegetarian, gluten free, vegan, and who eat clean. More than one of each, actually. College kids are seriously worried about their diets.

4. They're all in sororities/fraternities.


I have a handful of friends in a sorority/fraternity but most of them aren't. Most of them don't have the time or the money to make a commitment like that.

5. All college kids wear sweats to class.

Sure, sometimes we all want to wear out sweatpants but not everyday. I don't know anyone who always dresses down for class. It's nice to look nice!

Again, there are MANY stereotypes of college students. Not all college students fall into them. In fact, not even most fall into these stereotypes. My college experience definitely hasn't been stereotypical and most people I know can say the same.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’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, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
