If you're not getting up for school.You know how late McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Qdoba, etc. are open.- This just means you're obese or have horrible eating habits.You think it’s the weekend on a Wednesday and you don’t know what month it is.- No, you're probably still in the drunken stupor you were in when you made this list.You check Facebook more than once a day.- ... This has nothing to do with college. Any office job does this too.Finding random people in your house is perfectly normal, and you
even sympathize with them… sometimes when you wake up you have no idea
where you are.- You really need to stop drinking.You ask people what YOU did last night.- Read comment above.Your idea of a square meal is a box of Pop-Tarts.- Your idea of college is a joke.More than 20% of your household furnishings are made from milk crates.- I know not a single person living in residence or in a house, that even owns a milk crate.You throw out bowls and plates because you don’t feel like washing them.- Because every poor college student can afford that.It takes preparation… and 3 people… to take out your garbage.- Your school must not have any cleanliness standards if in res, housemates must be filthy pigs if living in a house.Western Europe could be wiped out by a terrible plague and you’d
never know, but you can recite the last episode of your favorite show
verbatim.- This could be because you're getting your information from the Colbert Report.Going to the grocery at midnight is completely normal.- So is finding out it's closed because not everyone is a moron who believes grocery stores are open at midnight.People have to help you kick the vending machine just so you can get your 50 cent bag of chips.- This is not only a crime, but 50 cents for a bag of chips? Good luck. Not sure when this list was written however it's more like $1.50.There’s always a “question kid” in at least one of your classes, and
you really wish someone would just tell him/her to shut the hell up.- Because they're there for the real purpose of college (to learn)? There's always a group of "party kids" in at least one of my classes, and I really wish someone would just tell them to shut the fuck up.You run out of black ink and, instead of buying a new ink cartridge, decide blue is a nice substitute… adds a little flair.- And while adding flair, it removes marks for not following a proper format. Congrats.The food in your fridge may or may not be older than your little brother.- No, really? I have food in my house that may or may not be. The world may or may not be ending right now. Everything may or may not. What a stupid thing to say.You really need to get your stuff straight before you attempt this "reality" humour again. It's so far off it's not even funny.
