8 Things We Miss About College

5. Friends and how easy it was to spend time with them

If your college years weren’t defined by your friends and what you all did together, did you have any fun at all? Our friends have seen us through our collegiate ups and downs, and still chose to stick with us through it all. During college, they’re always within reach, just a few minutes from school or a few buildings away, now you realize that it gets harder to meet with them the older you get. Some might have moved to a different city or country, others are so busy with their 9-to-5 jobs that they’re too tired to hang out, but at least you know that whatever happens, you’re all still friends.

6. When showing up was optional

Pinakamaimpluwensyang tanong :

*HOY PAPASOK KA BA?*

Mapanuksong sagot :

*IKAW BA PAPASOK KA?*

Nakakapressure na sagot :

*EWAN KO NGA E*

The best na sagot ”

*PAG HINDI KA PUMASOK HINDI NA RIN AKO PAPASOK*

which results to

TARA WAG NA TAYO PUMASOK😂😂

The one question you should not ask before every class is “Papasok ka ba?” because that would just open the flood gates of confusion and indecisiveness! But more often than not when this question pops up, we answer with “Tara wag nalang” and although that is a very risky decision (Stay in school, kids) what we do with that sudden free time is one of the most treasured memories of college.

7. You could literally do anything with your time

Sleep late? Binge-watch Netflix? Go to the park? Random road trip to the ocean? You could fit anything in your schedule! College creates so much freedom. It’s the sweet time frame where you’re old enough to go anywhere (even inside malls during school hours!) but young enough to not be burdened with so much responsibility.

8. Allowances, student discounts and summer vacations

As college students we were poor, but we made it work thanks to student discounts and sheer discipline in saving money. We went to gigs and concerts, brought OOTDs, watched film festivals, and went out with friends–all funded by our allowance and generous parents. Student discounts also helped! When you’re working, you’ll realize how important student discounts are.

The biggest difference between student and employee are the summer vacations. When we were students we used to look forward to the three months of summer vacation, but as an employee you’d have to save your leave credits and make sure you’ve finished all your work if you want to apply for a one week leave. Oh what we would give to have three months off!
