1. Sleep.
What a foreign concept. Perhaps you’re swamped with work and don’t get to bed until the early hours of the morning. Or maybe you finally have a free night and plan for an early bedtime, but get easily distracted and suddenly the clock is flashing 2am. Or maybe you go home and decide to wind down with some Netflix, somehow finding yourself six episodes into Friends. Even when the weekend rolls around, you end up staying out until hours not worth mentioning, and you’re so stressed that you find yourself waking up early anyway.
2. A long distance relationship.
Many college freshmen come to school expecting to maintain long distance relationships with their high school sweethearts. Not to be cynical, but it won’t last. Even though you promised to talk every day, things start to get busy. When Thanksgiving rolls around, you recommit your promises to stay together. But when you get back to school, you find yourself even busier. By winter break you are no longer in a long-distance relationship.
3. Avoiding the freshman 15.
Three words: unlimited meal plan. It’s going to happen, so just embrace it.
4. Dating.
It used to be that people would go on dates, and after a couple of dates would come a first kiss. But these days, it seems that hooking up is all there is. It’s only after hooking up several times do people start dating. Maybe.
5. Going to the gym in the winter.
It’s so much more comfortable under a fluffy duvet than it is to brave it against the harsh cold winds outside. Putting on sweats, a sweatshirt, a parka, snow boots, a beanie, and gloves takes a ridiculous amount of effort, only to have to take it all off upon arriving at the gym. And then there’s the effort of showering. Plus the gym is just so far.
