College is fun and great but the novelty of living with 12,000 people your age has started to wear off. You start to care less about what you wear, what you do, and there’s no mistaking you for a freshman anymore. You’re the pathetic old lady who wears sweatpants to the party without any regret.
1. Eating alone is not an issue. In fact, it’s more of a luxury and time to get away from everyone for an hour.
2. 8 A.M.’s call for leggings on a good day. On a bad day, it’s the sweatpants you went to bed in.
3. You prefer parties where you know everyone versus the freshman you who preferred a frat basement with hundreds of strangers.
4. Party clothes have started to cover more and reveal less. Crop tops are becoming a rarity and loose shirts are becoming increasingly more popular.
5. You miss your parents more. Calling them becomes a regular habit that you look forward to.
6. You have your declared major but you have absolutely no idea what you’re going to do with it once you’ve left this place.
7. You miss people of other ages. Throw a toddler into the mix or someone your grandma’s age just to spice up the scenery a little bit.
8. You forget what it’s like to function in a real society where 2 A.M. bedtimes are not considered early and three naps a day is considered concerning.
9. Your diet consists of pizza and cereal because you’re too lazy to use the oven you’re paying a grand a month for.
10. If you go out twice in one week, you applaud yourself for how well your body is handling itself.
11. The library is your real home. You spend more time here now than you did freshman and sophomore year combined.
