You Know You're a College Student When...

Ok, so technically I’m in a university student but for whatever reason, I like the sound of “college” more. Less letters, less syllables, less time typing or saying it; works for me!

Anyways, seeing as I am in the midst of pulling my very first all nighter to complete homework, it made me think, “Ohhh my goodness. This is the college experience.” But what is the college experience? I don’t know about anyone else but mine is nothing like the American Pie franchise and thank the Sweet Lord Baby for that.

Below, I have constructed a list of a few things I believe constitute the college experience. You don’t have to check off all of them, but a majority would be nice.
