Calling all college students! It’s time for a reality check. While you’re sitting in class daydreaming of Thursday, the real world is happening all around you. Yup it’s there, just waiting for you to join while kicking and screaming and hanging onto your $1 drink for dear life. While some of you still have years left in this world full of naps and unlimited food, others are a mere summer or less away from having to put on real pants every. single. day.
College: Where food babies are only seconds away
Real World: Having to budget your money for milk and bread, because loans
College: On your list of things to do are: naps, naps, eating and more naps
Real World: You’re tired all the time because sleeping on the job is frowned upon
College: Sweatpants and yogas all day, every day
Real World:You actually have to look like you spent more than 5 minutes getting ready for the day
College: You can skip class whenever
Real World: You skip work because you’re in the hospital and it’ll cost you a vacation day
College: Your weekend starts the second your last class is over on Thursday (if you even went)
Real World: It’s more like ‘I’m Tired Thursday’ because you actually have to work at least 5 days a week now
Have no fear, my fellow college people! Leaving college is an exciting and scary experience, but think of all the possibilities and adventures that are out there waiting for you to do now that you’re finally a real life adult!
