19 Things That Can Ruin A Students Day
There are a few things that can really piss off a student. I'm talking about the type of things that will completely ruin your day and put you in the worst mood of your life. These are things that only us college students can understand. If you are unaware of these aspects, or have never been in a bad mood in college, you can just jog on. Here are 19 things that will be sure to ruin your day in college. Let's hope this cheers you up.
1) Forgetting Your Student Card
You have come the whole way in to college. You don't have any classes. You have come in to study and take out books. But, NOOO. You have forgotten your student card. Your day is now over. For f*ck's sake! You are now picturing where the student card is. You're also muttering to yourself: "you stupid idiot."
2) You Haven't Paid Your Bills
When this is pointed out to you rudely by Libro Cop or that women in registration you are not amused. Quick! You have to think of a deep and meaningful excuse. Your mind goes blank. "Em...em...sorry?." "Well sorry doesn't cut it I'm afraid. No library entrance and no results for you Sir."
3) Asked A Question In A Lecture
This is never a good moment. Obviously, I was on Candy Crush having the time of my life and this lecturer has caught me. "And what do you think about the blah do di blah do di da?." I look up shocked and, quite frankly, I didn't hear a word yer one said. Right, time to run. Oh wait I'm in the middle of the row. I'll just curl up and die. Thank you Professor, you have ruined my day.
4) Not Being Able To Go Out That Night
Your fomo has set in. Your friends are going on and on about the big night ahead. You can't go as you have an exam tomorrow morning. This feeling of fear and despair is filling up your insides. You just want to scream and tell them to shut up. Instead you sit there with a fake smile, pretending to give a s**t about what they're saying.
5) Feeling Confident Until You Look In The Mirror
Those god damn college bathrooms. Is it necessary for the light to be so hideous? You were feeling confident and, yes, you would go as far as radiant. Nobody and no one could knock that smile, until you saw your reflection. Now you feel awkward and s**t. Cheers!
6) Your Jeans Rip
Okay, stay calm. Calm isn't working. This is so embarrassing. So dramatic and jesus christ my f**king jeans have just ripped. There are two options: a) Stay in your seat until you are the last one in the library or b) take your coat (please god you say you brought a coat with you) awkwardly tie it around your waist and run home.
7) Bodily Malfunctions In The Library
This has to be the worst thing that could happen to you at this present moment in time. The library is quiet and your burp or, let's not beat around the bush, fart is distracting and humiliating. There are laughs. If possible blame it on someone else. If there is no denying it, I'm sorry. I just feel really sorry for you.
8) Phone Going Off In A Lecture
For a first year this can be the most embarrassing thing to happen and guaranteed to ruin your day. No matter what year you are in, or age you are, there is no denying that that 30 second shiver of panic and fear that rushes through your body could give you a mini heart attack. Grab your phone, put it on silent and breath in and out.
9) Forgetting Money For Lunch
Ah yes it is the best time of day. The time that will cheer you up no matter what. LUNCHHHH TIIIMMMMEE. Oh bloody s** f*** christ! I have forgotten my lunch money. I am going to die. Just sob and walk away from the canteen.
10) Not Getting Parking
There is nothing more frustrating than driving the whole way into college and there being no parking. You managed to get up after a netflix marathon till 3am, you showered, you even put on clean clothes, you have 15 minutes until your lecture starts and there's not a chance of a space. Let's face it your day is ruined. Time to pack it in.
11) Seeing Your One Night Stand
It has happened. You have bumped into your one night stand. You stood there stuttering not knowing what to say. This encounter has taken at least 10 years off my life. Jesus my heart!
12) Forgetting Your Bus Pass
You have been using a bus pass for so long that you have become confident and, quite frankly, you own this s**t. You know what buses you can take. You know when they're coming. Nothing can stop you. Oh wait you forgot your bus pass. Start counting those coppers. This day is going to be awful!
13) Rain
If you are walking, getting the bus or even walking a large distance from your car to college, rain is always annoying and surprising. And what do you know, you have forgotten your umbrella. Oh, and you have no hood. And your shoes are nice and wet. Today you will become....drum roll please...a drowned rat.
14) Forgetting Your Earphones
Today you don't really feel like studying and you know what you want to do. You want to sit down in the library and watch all the episodes of TV you have missed. But you have forgotten your earphones. This kills you. You are very unhappy.
15) Forgetting Your Laptop Charger
You are in the library doing an essay and oh, look, you have low battery. Just get your bag and root out your charger. NOOOOOO it's at home. Its 11am and your day has now been ruined. You have to go the whole way home and finish your work there.
16) Opening Up Your Laptop And Something Is Playing
You open your laptop in the silent library and something you were watching the night before is playing. Similar to the feeling you get when your phone goes off in a lecture, you feel embarrassment rushing through your veins. "Why didn't I put it on mute? WHY???."
17) Stepping In Dog Poo
This is fairly self explanatory. You smell. You look dirty. No one wants to be with you because you smell. Wiping it off may make it look clean but the stench can stay with you for days.
18) Falling Down The Stairs
Stairs in a lecture, stairs in a hallway, stairs up to the building, no matter where you fall you will be thinking about it for the rest of the day. This will effectively ruin your day.
19) Spilling Drink On Clothes
Spilling a coffee on white jeans or making any sort of stain is going to ruin your day. You seem sloppy. You are now insecure. And, you would be best off going home. This has ruined your day.
