14 Reasons Why College is Secretly Preschool in Disguise

“A very, very expensive preschool”                                                                                                        

 

They say that life moves in cycles: Birkenstocks go out of and come back in fashion, Sean Combs is originally called Diddy, then Puff Daddy, then Puffy, then P. Diddy again. So, it only makes logical sense that by the time you are anywhere between eighteen and twenty-two, you have returned to your glory days as an excitable, yet sometimes uncontrollably irrational toddler.

 

1. You have no money to your name.

 

2. You’re a connoisseur of the finer things in life, such as a good nap.

 

3. You sometimes have difficulty identifying what you learned today.

 

4. Walking poses a challenge on occasion.

5. You don’t always realize it, but you miss your mom and dad (especially on laundry days).

6. You don’t really know why you go to school, you just know that you’re supposed to be there.

 

 

7. Snack time is not a privilege; it’s a right.

 

 

8. You’re thankful you go here, because admissions have gotten blown out of proportion.

 

9. You find yourself doing arts and crafts much more often than you’d like to admit… and they often turn out terribly.

 

10. You’re on the brink of a tantrum surprisingly often.

11. Hearing that someone has pink eye or lice doesn’t phase you; it’s a part of the game now.

 

12. You sometimes look down and find yourself wearing an absurd outfit

 

 

13. You make a lot of mistakes. And you make even more bad decisions.

 

14. Most importantly, you get to learn and mature with a random, quirky group of people who eventually come to be your closest friends.
