50 Memes That Prove Students And Young Adults Are Living The Best And Worst Life At The Same Time (New Pics)
Making new friends, partying together until dawn, and pulling all-nighters in the library to study for next day's exam. It might not sound like much fun now, but back in the college days, it was perfect.
A 2015 study led by Leeds Beckett University found that 65% of adults who left college at least 10 years ago think it was the best time of their lives so far. By that logic, it should also breed the best humor of our lives, right?
Let's put this hypothesis to the test using the memes from College Confessions, shall we? It's a page that shares relatable posts for students and recent post-grads. And here we have a selection of their best and funniest memes.

Personal experience with going to work for a landscaping company at age 60: I was told I would be hired because every applicant got hired, but I was not expected to last more than a week because the work was very hard. After the first week, at the company safety meeting, I was called out and presented up front to the rest of the laborers as the example to emulate. You don't need to be a body-builder to be able to work hard, just a decent attitude and decent physical fitness.

In some places in Sonora they put olives in tamales, particularly during the holidays. I don't think of it as a burrito ingredient, though.
Popular culture really tells us that the four years of college are to be the best years of our lives. Animal House (1978), Neighbors (2014), the four Pitch Perfect movies – Hollywood really wants us to think that there's not going to be a period in our lives when we're as carefree and happy as we are during college.
There might be some truth to this, as people usually do rate their 20s as the happiest period in their lives. A 2017 YouGov poll, for example, found that 30% of UK adults aged 20 and older believe their 20s to have been their best years. Ironically, those in their 20s are most likely to say it's their best decade.

Load More Replies... However, another study found that the early 20s aren't the happiest time in people's lives. The study, conducted by Getting Personal, revealed that people rate their years from 25-29 as the best. For many, it's the time when physical health is in its peak, job satisfaction is at its highest, and romantic relationships flourish with many getting married or starting committed relationships.
But it seems there's really no consensus about the best years of our lives, since yet another study found it to be our early 30s. In 2021, researchers asked individuals aged 50 and up in European countries to name their best years, and the majority chose the period when they were 30-34.

Still, since there's this myth that your early 20s and college years are supposed to be the best years of your life, many people feel the pressure to be their happiest. And the college experience isn't always as rosy as popular culture paints it to be. Statistics show that about 40% of college students in the U.S. drop out, either because they can't handle the financial burden or because they feel too isolated.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 74% of part-time undergraduate students were employed, while 40% of full-time students also had jobs. Although the percentage was lower than in 2015 (78%), experts still say that many students are forced to prioritize work before education.

Being a college student also isn't much like what it looks like in the movies. When we think of a typical college student, a person fresh out of high school probably comes to mind. Yet the reality is that only 41% of college students in 2018 were 18-to 24-years-old.

When we think "college," we also often imagine that it's a standard four-year education. But the same data from the U.S. Census Bureau showed that 23% of undergraduates in 2018 were enrolled in two-year programs, 56% were undergraduates in four-year university programs, and 22% were graduate students.

In a way, it would be disappointing to think that our college years are the best in our lives. Does that really mean we peak in our early 20s and that's it? And what if we struggle with our mental health during those years? Does that mean we failed in some way? Psychotherapist F. Diane Barth, L.C.S.W. writes that we should look at our late adolescence and college years as a time of growth and change.

My whole life until recently I've loathed naps because I'd wake up irritable and bitter feeling. Started prozac a few years ago and now I love them.
"Adolescence, including the college and post-graduation years, is a time of growth and change – and therefore, almost by definition, of confusion, self-doubt and insecurity," Barth claims. "It often helps students simply to know that this is a standard, although seldom discussed, part of that period of life. It is also an experience that will pass."

I once got my sister's old textbook in high school. What's weird about is that we did not go to the same high school! Same city but completely different places. We have a pretty rare surname and I actually recognised her writing, and when I showed it to her she confirmed it was hers. Somehow the 2 schools traded the used books in the six years between us.

As a child I played in a pre WWII bunker, where my grandparents kept jars of pickles and preserves. Good memories. Fulll of spiders and pretty creepy, everything a bored kid in the late 70's lived for. Legend had it, my grandmother gave birth to my mother in that bunker in the middle of a bomb raid in 1944, but never actually got a definite confirmation of that, so I don't really believe that. Bit too late to ask now, for obvious reasons. Don't have a crystal ball.
