1. Taking Calculus
College calculus is no walk in the park. When your teacher tells you the first day that you’ll need to spend over 8 hours a week outside of class studying and doing homework in order to pass, you know you’re in for one hard semester. Not to mention having to do team homework and dealing with webwork. Calculus is one of those classes that makes you rethink your major and wonder why you chose this path in life.
2. Hooking up with that boy you see EVERYWHERE
You know that one cutie that seems to have the exact same schedule as you? You’re always in the dining halls at the same time, you’re leaving the chem building as he’s entering, he happens to always be walking down South U at the same time you are? Then, one day, you finally meet him at a party and one thing leads to the next and all of a sudden you two are making out. The aftermath of this hook up might be worse than a walk of shame. Having to make that first post-makeout encounter where you’re not sure whether to wave and say hi, or just smile in his direction, is probably one of the most uncomfortable situations to ever experience in college.
3. Downloading EnvoyNow and other food delivery apps
When dining halls have the most limited hours on the weekends, delivery services are what keep you from starving to death. Having Chipotle and Buffalo Wild Wings delivered directly to your dorm room door? How can you resist? Unfortunately, you wallet doesn’t appreciate it as much as you do.
4. Becoming dependent on caffeine
There are weeks where you find yourself with three exams, a presentation, and two essays, and you realize sleep is no longer a priority. Caffeine is the sole reason you are able to stay in the library until 3 a.m. and still make it to your 10 a.m. class. To some, a day without coffee is a day is filled with headaches and cravings for a grande caramel macchiato from Starbucks. Probably not a good sign for your health or wallet.
5. Giving your uniqname to every booth you stopped at during Festifall
You’re halfway through the winter semester and still regretting writing your uniqname down on every organization’s interest list that was giving away free stuff at Festifall. The abundance of emails you already receive in college is overwhelming, and adding a multitude of emails from various clubs you’re not in, about meetings you never went to, can get a little confusing.
