This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCF chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.
 
1)
 You have the local Jimmy John’s number saved in your phone and they already know where to deliver. Bonus points if the menu is on your fridge.
 
2)
 Going home means bringing along one or two body bags full of laundry with you as a thoughtful present to mom.
 
3)
 The “freshman 15” is your worst nightmare and you are constantly asking old friends to reassure you it hasn’t made you it’s victim.
 
4)
 You are following some kind of entertaining account from your school on twitter (crushes, confessions, problems, etc.) and get really excited when you or someone you know is mentioned.
 
5)
 You are a firm believer in leggings as pants.
 
6)
 You have stayed up until insane hours of the night studying for a test.
 
7)
 You have had to worry about waking up your roommates before, whether it be by coming home late from a night out or leaving for an early morning class. 
 
8)
 You’ve signed up for a morning class and you’ve regretted it.
 
9)
 You have woken up for an early morning tailgate with more ease than you’ve woken up for any of your early morning classes all year.
 
10)
 Your class getting canceled is the highlight of your day.
 
11)
 You’ve used the weather as a justification for not going to class.
 
12)
 Finding parking has become more of a miracle and less of an expectation. 
 
13)
 Not having your student ID on you has inconvenienced you in some major way. 
 
14) Having to update your school ID password online is the most stressful thing you have to do all day.
 
15)
 You’ve bought clothing before knowing it would make the perfect game day outfit.
 
16.
 iClicker questions have determined your decision to go to class or not
 
17. You excuse stupid decisions with the classic “you’re only In college once” (after all, what better excuse is there?)

Hobbies include stealing way too many free mints from restaurants, incorporating song lyrics into everyday conversation and becoming way too attached to TV series on Netflix. She hopes to one day become ridiculously famous for doing nothing like the Kardashians if the whole "get-married-to-Zac-Efron" thing doesn't pan out. Follow her on Instagram&Twitter @nicholesantana because she solemnly swears to never post a #SelfieSunday or #MCM.
