11 Things They Didn't Tell you About College


1. You have to walk to class in the rain... even if you forgot an umbrella. That's right, the luxury of being in a single building all day is gone. No one told me.







2. You actually have to go to class. Yep, they've been lying.  I sat through all of high school hearing "you won't get this treatment in college, your professors won't even care if you come to class!" They were lying! All professors care how much you attend and it even affects your grade.  Rolling my eyes to that "sign in" sheet.






3. Finding someone to date is still hard. Despite the endless amounts of eligible men and women around us, it's still incredibly hard to find someone. And even harder to find someone you want to stay.





4.  You stress eat.  Yep, when those finals come around and you're so stressed your body just starts eating and your appetite spikes.  There's no use in trying to stop it. Shh, just let it happen.







5. Finals will break you.  People just laugh them off like they're nothing but when they come, they come in showers.  Prepare and conquer (if you can).









6. You really do gain weight. They tell you about the freshman fifteen but they don't tell you about the sophomore 20, the junior 25, or the senior 30.  It just keeps adding on.











7. Making a C+ on a science exam makes you act like this. Science classes in college are some kind of hard.  It's like trying to understand why tomorrow isn't today and today isn't last week.  I know, right?






8. The food sucks and it's expensive.  Cafeteria food is the only thing you can afford, yet you can't afford it.  AND it's gross.













9.  You stop caring about how you look.  You find out everyone else doesn't care too and then it's all down hill from there.  We end up looking like Penny by the end of the day.









10.  Studying wears you out.  Despite what people think, mentally worn out is an actual thing.  You can actually study so much you pass out on the ground as if you passed out from hardcore drunkenness. Study drunk.







11. Guys like Chace Crawford don't exist and there's only one Blake Lively and we can't be her.
