You know you're a college student when...

4. you get home from the lab/library at midnight, go to nuke some ramen ...
... and then you start worrying about waking up your housemates.

(Luckily, that last part hasn't been a problem for me since I got my own place ... but I'm on my post-doc now, and I still get home at odd hours and eat weird unhealthy stuff.)

Aaaah, the days of grain, vodka, kool-aid, and fruit soaked in booze.

28. Oh my..
One night I had to puke and pulled the ultimate party foul.. We had a garbage can full of ice and bottles of beer. It was outside the bathroom. I went to puke but the bathroom was occupied. I turned around and puked in the garbage can. My friend Zach washed them off, but ewww. I was drinking Yegermiester (?sp) for a few hours before that. 9 years later and I still get shit about that.

And something applicable to your post.. A pick of me finishing off the jungle juice..

Because the riots of 1998 didn't look so good for the schools reputation.

Edited on Fri Oct-28-05 06:48 PM by Neil Lisst
... when you think being a student is hard compared what comes afterwards.

You'll long to return to the days when you were going to school and working at some job that didn't allow you to explore your full potential.

22. You're struggling to fit in not-too-difficult classes for two majors
at convenient times into your schedule for next semester.

And failing miserably. :banghead:

30. You have done so many math problems, you end up
feeling like you want to strip nekkid and run around outdoors screaming. I have always wondered why college students do crazy things like that. Now that my mind is overloaded with puzzling math problems and English assignments that are driving me nuts, I understant totally.

Also, in keeping with your original post, you live off Spaghettios at home, M&M's and soft drinks in between classes.

34. I woke up one time with a 8 page...
Philosophy paper that was due in three hours that I hadn't even started. Holy shit, that was bad. I kinda freaked out and started punching my bed. Worst.Paper.Ever. After a few pages it was total filler. I didn't even read it over for errors.

31. In my case...
...it's when you work until 3:30 in the am at your bartending job, then show up at the coffee shop at 10:00 am to study biochemestry. Yep. I'm a science geek.

32. Your stack of books and papers
takes over your desk and hides old dishes for months.

Your bathroom doesn't get cleaned for months.

Splurging means a $4 pint.

Your clothes develop holes but you could care less.

Zits come back during midterms and finals. :)

You're pissed because your roommate ate a 15 cent package of Ramen noodles w/o telling you.
