I know what you're thinking... girl, I'm in college — why would I doubt that I'm not? Well, fair point. You could be going to school without fully experiencing what it means to be a college student. Below are five things every college student should understand.
What it means to have that ounce of alone time
In college, you never truly have alone time. So when you get that little time to binge watch your favorite shows or do your homework in peace and quiet... it is everything.
Going out on a week night
Now, I'm not one to normally go out when I know I have classes in the morning... but there is something about college that gives you the idea you can do both. (In moderation of course)
Eating nothing but easy-mac and frozen dinners
It is that time of the month where you really have no food but a couple packets of noodles and fake cheese and maybe a box of frozen pizza in the corner of your freezer. You wonder to yourself... how the heck did I gain five pounds? That's how.
You're up till 2 am watching Netflix
Your body is totally out of whack... you have a 9 a.m. class but you can't help staying up till the sun comes out cause you just can't fall asleep. What can you do during all of those hours of no sleep? Binge watch your favorite shows of course.
