Back when I attended a “university model” high school, things were pretty strict. We only actually met three times per week, but those days off were not really days off. The homework was piled on, there were several papers a month to complete, and the academic standards were rigorous.

After going through all that, I expected college to be some next-level intensity. But I found something different.

Yes, college was a lot of work, especially when you’ve got a bunch of extracurriculars going, but the environment overall was FAR more chill. Which is the point that all these hilarious tweets are here to prove.

10. Strict & scary

They know how unfair the whole system is.

9. Putting it up

They’re gonna endure a lot, believe me.

8. Class dismissed

Sometimes it doesn’t even start at all, s**t is wild.

7. You’re gonna hear me roar

And it’s gonna get weird.

6. The race is on

They know what it’s all about.

5. One of these things is not like the others

One of these things just doesn’t belong.

I need the context for this so badly.

2. Fish sticks

I’m sorry for your loss.

1. High toleration

Give me the sweeeeets.

If you’re headed to college, just know that while you WILL have to work hard, it’s gonna be a lot more fun.

What was your high school vs college experience? How did the two differ?
