college is...

 What is college you ask? Well it is a short time in life where you will be able to do whatever you want... however you want... and potentially grow as a person, hopefully in a positive way. Not to mention there are a couple of odd things that happen only during this time in your life. 

To get a better understanding of what I mean I have compiled a little list of what I believe is synonymous to what I now know as "college." Enjoy. 

1. Coffee addiction. 

2. Falling on your butt every time there is snow. 
3. NAPS
4. Staying up until 1 in the morning on a school night talking about smelly feet. 
5. Wearing leggings...every single day.  

6. Thinking "Why am I even here?"
7. Thinking, "Wow, this is why I am here. This is where I need to be."
8. Midnight Steak and Shake runs. 

9. Eating healthy all day but ruining it by eating a pint of ice cream at 10 pm.
10. Looking like a Gremlin in your 9 am class. 
11. Forever editing your cover letters to apply to the 1000 jobs you are interested in. 
12. WAITING FOR YOUR TEACHER TO POST A GRADE.

14. Calculating the worst possible grade you can get just to graduate. 
15. Watching "your shows" with all of your roomies. 
16. Jimmy Johns after a night out = nothing better. 
17. Paying to graduate. Paying for transportation you don't use. Paying for that kid's socks over there...

19. Information you cannot understand. (Physics? What is viscosity again? Gamma?)
20. Realizing that you can use Greek letters somewhere else other than when referring to the sororities.
