Weird Habits You Pick Up In College

The college transition is one we prepare our whole lives for. Once we're all moved in we realize how different everything is, but after a while, we're so used to it we don't even realize the habits we've changed.

1. Get used to wearing shower shoes

Showering at home and having to shower in you dorm are two very different things.

2. Sharing clothes with your roommates.

At home you had nothing to wear, you'd dig something out of the end of your closet. In college, you find nothing in your closet? Ask your roommate to go through hers.

3. The necessity to order pizza after every night out.

Depending on where you're from, I'm sure you and your friends used to go on Wendy's/McDonalds drives. Now when you come back you plop yourself on your beds, take your clothes off and wait for your pizza to arrive.

4. If there's Google there's a way, If there's a Quizlet there's an A.

This is something I say to my friends all the time when they complain about Blackboard assignments. Quizlet is a gift to us. Last minute quizzes suck, especially when you haven't done the ready yet and its due at Midnight.

5. Eating the same thing in the dining hall because when you try to switch it up, you just get more disappointed.

Ever in the "anything but cafe food" mood but your stuck w cafe food? Because I know that's always me.

6. Did you have a nap today?

Taking naps (yes plural) throughout the day. Come back from class and if you have time you nap. Oh, you're done with homework? Nap. Don't wanna do homework? Nap. To be honest, just nap it out.

7. Thinking if you use your credit card you're not spending.

Not knowing where all your money went is something we can all relate to especially because online spending becomes the No. 1 way to go. This habit hurts a little more than others.

8. Either you're always in your room or you're never there.

You either become cooped up in your dorm or you avoid being locked in there.

9. Procrastinating...then CRAMMING.

Procrastinating all work for later then realizing you have a too much to do and having to cram it all in one night.

10. Doing things solely to get free things

Free food?? Catch me there. Events with free shirts? Stickers? Accessories, you name it I'll be there. Just let me know where!

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.

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!
