Sure, college is stressful and exhausting. Taking out loans, being starving 24/7, getting drowned in homework and exams, but hey, we’re all here for a reason right? To have fun and most importantly, get a degree. Here are 11 reasons why you should be thankful you’re in college when you’re under stress.
1. Lifelong friends
People say college friends are friends for life!
2. Parties
Of course this had to be on the list! College is full parties where you meet new people, get to socialize and is the only place you can dance like a crazy person at a frat.
3. Learning experiences
College is full of ups and downs and new experiences.
4 Pursuing your major/minor
In high school, you couldn’t really choose what you wanted to learn about, but college gives you the opportunity to learn about what you want and pursue that career.
5. Freedom/independence
What more can I say?
6. Extracurriculars
Joining clubs allow you to fulfill a hobby and passion while meeting people who feel the same!
7. Greek life
A lot of people meet lifelong friends when they join Greek life and it feels good to be a part of something!
8. School spirit/ sports events
Where else can you scream for your fellow student athletes?
9. Great professors
Often times, professors in college are more than just teachers.
10. Study abroad
College gives you this amazing opportunity to explore the world and learn about different cultures.
11. Being away from your parents
Although you love and respect your parents, living with them as a young adult can be a little stressful. College allows you to fly from the nest and learn how to be on your own.
They don’t say college is the best four years of your life for nothing!
