You Might be in College If…

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utah chapter.

We get it, you’re in college…we know because…

 

Your bed is just a mattress on the floor

Your diet consists of grilled cheese, diet coke, and top ramen. 

You haven’t done laundry in at least 3 weeks.

Your living room decor is a futon

Your tv is on your floor, just like your mattress.

Your car is older than you are.

You call your mom because you don’t know how to turn the iron on.

You don’t own an iron.

Pajamas are an acceptable wardrobe choice.

Sleeping in the library is your main hobby.

You feel that “the struggle” genuinely is real.

It literally takes half an hour to get from one side of campus to the other.

you spend more on parking tickets than you did on your actual parking pass.

The only way you communicate with your roommates is through passive-agressive sticky notes.

Your bank account balance is $3.28 

You justify not going to class by convincing yourself that you deserve the extra sleep.

You schedule your classes to have enough time to take a nap.

You spend way much time calculating the minimum amount of work you can do to pass a class.

You’ve considered selling your soul to satan to pay tuition.

You spend at least a month’s rent to buy a text book you’ll use twice.

You’ve considered stripping to pay for rent.

You watch youtube videos while thinking about all your horrible life choices.

You’d rather rejoin tinder than take your last math class.

Tinder actually sounds like a good idea.

you practice wall twerking in your living room.

Choosing an instagram filter is harder than choosing your major.

Signing up for an advising appointment feels worse than signing up for the draft.

Your GPA and your bank account balance are the same.

Your refrigerator is as empty as your soul.

The likelihood of making it to a 7am class is approximately the same as winning the lottery.

You go to parties for the free food.

Chick-filet being closed on sunday is the most tragic thing to happen this week. 

Walking across campus is considered cardio.

Pizza is an acceptable meal any time of day.

Facebook makes you want to cry because of all the engagement photos.

You don’t get rid of any clothing because you might need it for a themed party.

When all of your classes have tests the same week because every professor is out to get you.

Class being canceled is better than christmas morning.

You know the exact time that taco bell closes

Your easy homework only takes three hours to finish.

You feel happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. 

You finally understand A Tale of Two Cities when they say “It was the best of times, it was the age of wisdon, it was the age of foolishness”.
