When you think of college the first thing that comes to mind is frat parties, drinking, and club hopping all night (or until 2 a.m. when all the clubs close). Yea, college is like that sometimes, but there are also projects, term papers, quizzes and reading… lots and lots of reading. When midterms and finals comes around, the only thing you want to do is just lay in your bed all day long, almost comatose, and watch Netflix like it’s your job. It is times like that when you wish you could just be in Kindergarten again.

Snacks

Who doesn’t love eating? Juice boxes, animal crackers, handi-snacks, and peanut butter sandwiches. Yea, I love the gourmet cuisine of college like ramen and cereal, but they got nothing on the snacky yum yums from Kindergarten years.

Coloring

What better expression of your creativity than Crayola and a coloring book. That feeling you got when you opened a fresh pack of crayons is pretty much the equivalent to that awesome buzz you feel after you have had a few libations on a Friday night. Before you go to that exam for your Economics class, they should allow you ten minutes of draw time so that you can relax and loosen up. I guarantee you, the professor would see test scores shoot up!

Recess

Going out in the sun, getting yourself some fresh air and little bit of that vitamin D is just want you need as a stressed college student. Little kids to get run around in the sun for an hour in the middle of their day, why don’t we get that chance? The only time we were allowed out is the 15 minutes in-between classes that we are just spending running across campus to get to our next torture session.

Naps

The best treat of all. You crawl into your bed and tell yourself just 15 minutes, just a little tiny nap, and bam, you have been asleep for 4 hours. If the University just allowed everyone a 2 hour span each day to go back to their homes and get a nice little nap, they would be less stressed and on the verge of exploding and more happy and willing to learn.

Just compare the happy faces of little children and the blank stares you get from college kids. Throw a few snacks and naps out way and it will make for a happier generation!
