College is the place where you discover yourself and your passions. While you are doing that, you have to get used to living by yourself and stop being your parents’ little kid. However it is harder for some of us to get used to the college life; and by ‘some of us’ I mean those of us that were spoiled throughout our entire lives… #richkidsofuiuc
You have no idea how to use public transportation; nor you want to learn how.
You have never really checked which dining halls have good food, nor did you choose your housing based on it. There are always the restaurants, it is not like you are going to be eating at a dining hall…?
You have no idea how are you going to carry that much stuff with you to the campus, especially if you are an international student (your parents already joked about hiring an overseas shipping container).
You have never come home to an untidy room, and no idea how to maintain that in your dorm room; so you already searched for maid services.
You have no idea how are you going to wash and iron your own clothes; and you’ve already wondered if you can just use dry-cleaning (then gave up on it, it is way too expensive).
Yellow and brown are not your colors, so you spend way too much time thinking how you are going to be decorating your room, and what wall paper and bed-board you want to use.
You joked about not going to your 8am classes if your parents don’t buy you a car when you hit the campus. (Were you really joking though?)
You have to find a good hair dresser (and a good brow artist and nail salon if you are a girl) all over again; it is like finding a soul mate all over again…
You are halfway into your laser hair removal and have no idea what to do when you hit the campus; no way you are starting all over again!!
You will have to find a new favourite fancy restaurant that is meant to use just for celebration purposes, but you hit at least 3 times a week because TREAT YO SELF!
When deciding on the housing, you just checked the location and the pictures of the dorms, you didn’t really check out the prices. That is for grown ups to worry about.
Since university is a fresh start, you need a fresh computer. How cute are those rose gold MacBooks?
The campus is in the middle of nowhere, and you have no idea how are you going to live without 10 fancy restaurants and 5 shopping malls
You didn’t really think about having a part time job; university is already time consuming and hard, while studying, procrastinating, and partying (the order of those can change).
You haven’t given any thought to tuition while choosing the university you are going to attend, you just went with the rankings and qualities of the school
