Campus life can be overwhelming with classes as one tries to be a semi-functional adult. Despite the challenges, there are very exciting things that happen during the campus journey. Here are things that get campusers excited:
1. Free Food at Campus Events
While most people love free food, the campusers go agog over eating free pizza at campus events. An event with a free food flyer is enough to brighten up their day.
2. Getting Through a Tough Exam
If the campusers can somehow manage to pass that exam which they thought totally bombed out on, it’s pure release and excitement. It does not matter how that happened—what matters here is that their GPA survived.
3. Receiving a Care Package
Receiving a care package from family is always something to look forward to. It’s proof that their family at least puts up with them, and whatever items are inside are usually well received.
4. No Classes on Fridays
With no classes on Fridays, that means a three-day weekend each and every week. If they don’t have to work on Fridays, life doesn’t get much better than this scenario.
5. Optional Attendance
When a professor announces that attendance is purely optional, that ranks as one of the most wonderful moments in adult life. More often than not, this generally translates to more freedom and flexibility.
6. Student Discounts
Finding out that a restaurant has student discounts is pretty sweet. It means you can see a little bit of an increase in appetite without major pangs of conscience about blowing your cash.
7. Roommate Does the Dishes
The moment when one realizes that his roommate has, at last, cleaned his set of dishes is truly a small victory. Now, there’s room in the sink to fit your own dishes.
8. Receiving the Email that Class is Canceled Before Leaving
Pure joy, an email that says something like, “Class is canceled for today,” before leaving their apartment. It’s an angry gift of free time, much needed.
9. Final Exams Are Over
Finally, the moment one was looking forward to—a reason to celebrate when the finals are over. Stress and sleepless nights just became things of the past—at least for a while.
10. Class ends early
It’s literally a rush to get home and take that well-deserved nap or make up some personal time.
11. No required books
Finding out that your course does not use any books at all is great. No classively, it translates to money saved and no headaches scouting for expensive books.
12. Going Home During the Break
Finally going home during the break and seeing your pets always feels great. Even when your pets still seem mad at you for leaving, the cuddles make up for it.
13. Assignment Extensions
When the class gets an extension on an assignment, procrastination time is extended another week. It’s just a little extra breathing room.
14. Finding Assignment Answers Online
Finding answers to an assignment online, man—such a lifesaver. Whoever posted them is the real MVP.
15. Competent Group Members
Having competent group members is a rare but exciting experience. It means the project might actually be completed efficiently.
16. Working Alone on Projects
When professors allow them to choose to work alone on a project, it’s a relief. They don’t have to worry about group dynamics and can just get to work at their pace.
17. Getting to Class Late but Professor Isn’t There
Getting to class late only to find the professor isn’t there yet—a small victory. No judgmental looks, less stress.
18. Exam Curve
When the curve is on an exam, it is a relief to know they are not the only one. It might just bump up their grade.
19. Course Curve
When the entire course has a curve, that can be a sigh of relief for everyone. That means everyone will benefit from a little extra help.
When the VPN Providing Data Works
Nothing is worse, in this age of crucial internet access to both academic and social life, than having a spotty connection. The ability to get on with data, supplied by the VPN, and to know that it actually works without problems will realize a small slice of pure heaven: one of uninterrupted research, texting and no more hassle with the online world.
Campus life is full of small victories and moments of excitement. These little things keep campusers going through the rough times.
