I was inspired by my gal pal/fellow blogger Cathleen's Thoughts That Go Through A High Schooler's Brain. I thought about what could be perceived as relatable in my life, and here you have it -- Thoughts I Have While Living Off Campus.
Even if you don't live off campus, this is probably going to be a good preface for the struggles you'll face when you do. So, enjoy my misery, gal pals.
...
*sitting at home* Should I go to the gym? I'd have to get in my car, drive to campus, park somewhere, and then walk to the gym. Nope. No gym today.
What do I want for dinner?
Is it ok to eat dinner at 5:30? Of course it is. My house, my rules.
Yay! It's Friday! After this, I don't have to see campus for 2 and a half days.
Wait you want me to come up for a meeting on Sunday? Wow, you broke my 2 and a half day cleanse from campus. Thanks.
I wonder if that girl's a freshman. I wonder if people think I'm a freshman. How do I make it obvious I'm not a freshman? Was it obvious last year when I was a freshman?
What do I want for dinner?
THIS IS NOT A CROSSWALK AND I'M NOT STOPPING FOR YOU BECAUSE I NEED TO GO HOME AND EAT CEREAL, I'M STARVING.
I wonder if I can sneak out of class like 2 minutes early so I can get to the parking garage before it's a mad house.
*at the parking garage* This place is a mad house.
What do I want for dinner?
Should I try to take the bus? Loads of people do it, it must be easy.
Nah I'm just going to drive to the parking garage because this parking pass cost 3 Kate Spade bags.
UGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EAT FOR DINNER
How much longer can I put off doing laundry?
There's a homeless guy in the dumpster again. That is all.
Should I dust? How often to people dust? And by people I mean real adults because I'm not one.
If I find one more bug in my room, I'm moving.
*all dishes are dirty in the dishwasher. Instead of running dishwasher, I take out a dirty dish and hand wash it, use it, then place it back in dishwasher*
I literally haven't been home all day, what the heck.
I STILL have no idea what I'm going to do for dinner.
*eats cereal for dinner....again*
Let me know which of these you can relate to or if you have any #offcampusstruggles of your own! Overall, I LOVE living off campus. I love having my own space, cooking my own food (even though it's apparent that I rarely know what to make), and just getting to live in a fun city.
You're half way through the week! Don't let these little struggles get you down - you got this.

OH MY GOD THIS IS MY LIFE. Literally the struggle to create your own meals and not rely on campus food is seriously difficult. I can't tell you how many times I've just eaten pasta because I'm too lazy to make anything else. Also the parking garage thing, spot on. I was reading these and was nodding my head, giggling, and making a fool of myself in class cus that's where I'm reading this.

I'm so glad you could relate, haha :) I put a picture of this on my snapchat because I'm just thrilled someone knows my pain. AND I MAKE PASTA ALL THE TIME. Or eggs! #thestruggle
DeleteAhhh!! Trying to decide if I should find an apartment off campus for next year, but I feel I may have the same struggles you do!
ReplyDeleteThe struggle is really real sometimes, but I love living off campus and wouldn't change a thing! (except maybe wishing I had a good cookbook, ha ha.) Let me know if you ever want to come look at our unit!
