No one expects you to have it all together in college. But, if at least one of these applies to you, we say you’re totally killing it.
1. You’re not (always) late to class
If you can stop yourself from hitting the snooze button on your alarm clock every morning, let’s face it, you’re already killing it in college.
2. You’ve overcome all of your high school insecurities
Because you’ve realized that agonizing over tiny impefections that no one else cares about is so not worth your time.
3. You can budget like a boss
As in, long term budgeting. Like, rent and bills and food. For a whole month.
4. And your diet isn’t terrible
Hey, as long as you eat your servings of fruits and veggies, we say you’re killing it.
5. You can eat alone in the dining hall
Without pretending to read a book or being on your phone the whole time.
6. You’ve become a pro at paying next to nothing for textbooks
7. You’re always expanding your social circle
Because as a collegiette, you know the only way you’re going to grow is if you surround yourself with people from all different backgrounds.
8. You’ve let go of toxic relationships
byeeeeeee h8rs.
9. And you’ve learned that you can be totally happy on your own
Plus maybe a cat.
10. You’ve made grown up decisions for yourself
Like studying abroad, taking out student loans, getting a credit card or even just deciding on a major.
11. And you’ve got some semblance of a life plan
Even if it’s just figuring out which classes you’re taking next semester (or what you’re having for dinner tonight).
12. You don’t rely on your parents for everything
(But we still appreciate you sending us emergency money whenever we overdraw!)
13. And you’ve only ruined a few things doing laundry the wrong way
It’s a learning process. Okay?
14. You’ve found something you’re passionate about
And you talk about it so much that your friends have to tell you to shut it.
15. Most importantly, you’re taking chances, broadening your horizons and starting to see life in a new perspective.
Because that’s what college is all about.
It’s a long time before you can be expected to have your whole life in order (if ever). But that doesn’t mean you can’t still be killing it in college!
