What happens in college stays in college. Well, not really. Unless you live under a rock, meaning you skip the crucial experience of a flatshare, never compete in a beer pong battle, and run away from jagerbombs, there are tons of hilarious, sad, and cringey stories to share with someone. The question is, who is that person you could entrust them to?
Well, no wonder college kids are sending in their confessions anonymously. Turns out there’s a whole Instagram page dedicated to it titled “Collegefessing” which is basically a safe place to post your best and worst college moments. With a whopping 6M followers eavesdropping big time, the page is somewhat of a playground for the craziness of student years.
Scroll down through our selection of the most entertaining confessions below and let us know what you miss from your college days the most!

College is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so no wonder you want to make the most of it. But there are tons of challenges and choices to make when you first start. From which modules to study, to which campus sport to sign up for, you will face more decisions than you ever had in your life. And what’s more, chances are they’ll be life-changing. So in order to stay focused and get the most out of this incredibly productive and interesting environment, you want to hear some useful advice. And honestly, when I was in college freshman year, I’d have benefited tons from what you’re about to read.
All teachers, grade school through university, should be tested on the subjects they will be teaching AND general knowledge ( thinking of the teacher who insisted a bat was a bird) IMHO.
First, let's start with the elephant in the room. Partying, partying and more partying is a key (although we can debate how key it actually is) part of the student package, but you can always overdo it, making your grades, motivation, and lifestyle suffer as a result.
A good tip from Katie Roiphe, book author and the director of the Cultural Reporting and Criticism Program at New York University, is to learn how to drink. She suggests drinking two drinks fewer than you want to. “You will get more joy out of life if you are alert to it, before that second-to-last drink, when the evening gets slurred. If you drink too much, you lose those lovely, wild moments,” Katie says and added that if you master the art of getting just-the-right-amount drunk, you will have more fun. This will turn out to be a super amazing skill to carry through your adulthood.
I'm the child of an alcoholic, so I don't drink. I feel this on a spiritual level.
Secondly, you have to remember that college years are excellent for making valuable connections. Trying to talk to your college professors is a great thing to do, but many undergraduates feel either intimidated or feel like they have other things to do. But Roiphe argues that your professors will appreciate your making an effort to connect and discuss things.
“This will be useful for you later, if you need a recommendation or a job, but it is also the way to get the best possible education. I know this because I am a professor,” she said and added that “So many of my most important pedagogical conversations happen in my office or outside of the classroom over coffee.”
Matt Might, a professor of Internal Medicine and Computer Science and Hugh Kaul Endowed Chair in Personalized Medicine also has quite a few wonderful tips on everything from dorm room coffee to study habits to saving cash on tuition. Might’s first advice is to realize that professors are not teachers. “Teachers in high school were trained and certified to educate. Professors spent the best years of their lives extending the boundary of human knowledge, and then won a professorship on their prowess in research. After that, someone threw them into a classroom and asked them to teach,” he argues.
If you don't want your nude photos on the internet, don't pose for them and don't allow your boyfriend to take them. People can't publish your nudes if they don't exist.
Thus, according to the professor, the key to interacting with professors is to realize that they're not teachers. “As researchers, professors have access to the cutting edge. Few students exploit that access, but it's not hard,” argues Might. His advice is to ask a professor about their research since “even the crankiest professor is going to brighten when talking about their own research. If it sounds interesting, ask if they need help in their lab.”
Just call yourself a gamer. Gamer girl is so weird. No one ever says gamer boy.
Another thing to do is to sit in the front row. “A good professor is going to tune the lecture by reading the facial expressions of students. Unfortunately, it's hard to see all the way in the back, so we're really crafting the lecture to those that sit up front, whose faces we can see,” Might explains.
Just like Roiphe, professor Might urges students to go to office hours since it’s “a chance to get one-on-one mentoring from an expert. Plus, when you ask for a letter of recommendation, the professor will know you.” And this is what you ultimately wish when the time comes to look for a job or an internship.
So you found a healthy relationship and weeded out the false friends. Win win
I'm not sure how this is mastering hotels. some hotels don't offer twin rooms with queens, but single twin beds so you end up with a way smaller bed.
As bad as you feel for him, he’s not your responsibility. Alcoholism is terribly destructive for all involved.
Tell your girlfriend, raise your price to $25K, take the money and run... with your girlfriend.
1. If you wanted to lose weight, it’s great that you did and you should’ve been doing this for yourself not for a crush or to fit into a single shirt. 2. This girl owed you absolutely nothing. If your best friend knew about the crush Maybe you should be talking to them? People have different Thoughts about this but I would never go after one of my friends’ crushes. Just because you lost 25 pounds, or 100, or whatever; she is not the prize. 3. If you are proud of the weight loss, be proud and be happy and that is its own reward. you don’t get your crush as reward for doing something for yourself. 4. If you had to lose a bunch of weight to fit into a shirt, it was probably pretty obvious when she gave it to you that it didn’t fit. Kind of jerky, not very considerate. As someone who has had a grandparent give me obviously too small clothes (And obviously way too big clothes) to try to humiliate me into weight loss- That says something about her as a person.
No, he's an ass who is emotionally unavailable and you are a kind person who deserves better.
Not too sure I understand what she thought happens when you sleep with people.
yea those situations suck but if the time wasn't right then it really wasn't the right person.
Go shave. A comb over fools noone and exudes self conscious behavior.
depends if actually like her then i would say yes go for it but if you just want to do it to hurt your ex id say no because then not only will you hurt your ex but her friend as well who did nothing wrong to you
Communicate. It's hard to open up, but she is your lover and partner, and your true loved ones will always be there for you, without judgement or condition. It's difficult to just blurt out, "I have depression," but depending on you two and her understanding of depression, it's best to go slow. Sometimes, admit that you indeed don't have the energy and would rather stay home and not put up an appearance. The best thing to say is, I think, "There's something I want to share with you just so you can be aware. I've been dealing with depression for a long time, and it's been taking a severe toil on me to put up appearances. I'm seeing a therapist and/or getting medicated; it's not your responsibility to keep my mental state in order, it's mine. So, this is not your burden to carry. I don't feel comfortable with explaining this more. I trust you enough to tell you all this at least, and I hope that you'll be understanding." You're worthy of love and respect.
You know this is kind of like being on the same page about parenting styles. I dated a guy whose dog destroyed property, dragged him during walks, would bolt off, wouldn't come when called, jumped on everyone and got them muddy or scratched, and pissed all over the house so I can relate to this other than using numbers to rate a woman.
That's very sweet and mature of you. Most guys hold on to women they don't even love anymore, all because they can't stand to see them with someone else.
Do you want to? Screw your boyfriend - no, wait, you’re done doing that. You’re moving on.
Why do you care if she deletes it? people keep lists. Whatever reason she has, it’s her reason and her choice, don’t be insecure about it. It doesn’t change who she slept with and when, she’s the same person it’s just something on paper.
....and then they became conservative Congressmen and Senators....
Cut it off because it will never change. I hung on to a friendship for 8 years. He was in love with me. We had 'the talk' so many times but he thought I would change. Ended in year 9 after an ugly situation. I really broke his heart so in hindsight, I should have ended in much sooner. Do yourself and your friend a solid and let it go; move on.
Some Americans have you take your shoes off, some don’t. If it’s important to you just ask. Most people will either takeoff their shoes or if they are uncomfortable for some reason decline to come in. Nobody is going to insist on wearing shoes into your house unless they are some kind of sociopath.
Maybe just casually mention it and see how she reacts? I’m terrible at remembering birthdays too, I always feel awful when I realise I’ve forgotten one…
if thats all he is doing then i would otherwise if he finds out himself he is likely to assume is something more
Having lost my father to complications of Covid then not being allowed to attend his funeral Because of Covid, I really am not impressed with your post. Just adult up and be truthful 😔
Go on tinder and do the same thing, see if he still feels the same way.
1738 is a term for his crew used by Fetty Wap in a song called Trap Queen. Apparently the “Remy Boyz 1738” are named for Rémy Martin 1738 (the cognac). Yes, I did have to Google that. And it’s more than I ever wanted to know.
if you loved your boyfriend you wouldnt have gotten urself a sugar daddy
Try a polyamorous relationship maybe? Idk much about this kind of thing.
No, you are a sorry excuse for a human being. Nothing hard about that.
I wish I had a sugar daddy to buy me things except I wouldn't want to have sex with him
i want a sugar buddy who i’ll talk with about the weather and give a hug and then he’s like ok and gives me $700

Dump them both, go up into the mountains, find a quiet place to be, and think reeeeeal hard about yourself.
I don't do long distance relationships and I'm in my 40's. They work for some and not for others. It has nothing to do with how much you care.
What is it with this desire to know the number of people your partner has slept with?
You're just conning a lonely woman out of her money so your girlfriend would probably laugh.
Oh no! Five days in a row? It's called real life. People work five days a week, every week, moron!
Um.. “freak in bed” is not a rigid term with a strongly defined meaning. There can be a person that is considered pretty freaky by many standards, but she’s not going to let you poop on her chest.
thats wrong really especially the ghosting part after they let you stay at their place when you didnt have anywhere else
Get a mini fridge for your room for your snacks and drinks and say you don't smoke weed anymore
End it with your boyfriend. Even if it doesn't go anywhere with the other guy, your boyfriend deserves better
I would rather sleep with 1 partner I love than with 100 partners I find attractive. The value is in the relationship not the carnal acts.
People who ditch their friends for relationships suck. No question about that, but this has nothing to do with how many people she has supposedly slept with- Would it be OK if he ditched you for someone who had only slept with two other guys? Or if you had heard this girl was a virgin? What does this have to deal with s**t shaming and misogyny? Do you think you deserve his time because you’re so much better than a girl who has (In your mind) slept around?
What, the furthest she ever got was first base? If he can’t handle that, then he’s going to have trouble in future.
Counting bodies sounds like people are serial killers. This post just shows how much women are able to objectify men too.
After reading this, I am reminded of just how young some people are when they attend college. And can't help but feel that they really need to add protections against letting these kids bury themselves in debt to get an education. Their brains are not in a spot to make a financial decision that will affect the next 20 years of their lives. It just reaffirms my belief that the biggest criminals wear suits.
This should have been called low class people who spent some time at college.
No surprise humanity is doomed... now we know what happen when children are rised on social media... clap our backs

Kids today are boring! If they had done a similar in my day it would be spicy!
For those baffled by the preoccupation with partners' past sex lives, google Retroactive Jealousy. It sounds kind of incel (and kind of is tbh), but is also a recognized form of OCD that many people in our prudish western culture suffer from. It's a relationship killer, but treatable.
