1) Food is the enemy. There’s only 9 days till Semi… do you really need that third helping of mashed potatoes? No, you don’t. Instead, just settle on one huge helping with some bacon bits in it; that will even it out.
2) Questions on questions. Dinner talk no longer consists of that accounting test that everyone will probably fail: it consists of the who’s, what’s, and where’s. Who are you taking? What are you wearing?? Where are you getting ready???
3) The panic that comes with finding a date. All the girls happily in love with their boyfriends pity you and give you the “my boyfriend totally has friends that would go with you!” You smile and accept their charity, but on the inside you’re like
4) Every boy you see on campus becomes a potential date in your mind. You see a cute boy walk past you on campus and suddenly you’re imaging twirling with this stranger under sparkling lights.
5) Realizing just how broke you are. You go on Facebook and stalk all your friend’s photo albums from their high school homecoming to find a dress in desperation. So so broke.
6) Accepting your weirdness. You think about looking good for class because boys (refer to #4), but then you snap out of that hilarious thought and say “screw the world!” as you stroll down campus in your sweats.
