Some things, like The Rock, are universally loved and literally no one could have a problem with them. But some things still get the love even if they aren’t all that great.

I don’t know if I was away the day that all the students decided to love these things, but you know what guys? They suck. #sorrynotsorry

Here are 10 overrated things students seem to love.

#1 Smoothie Bowls

Maybe it’s cause they look pretty on Insta. Or maybe everyone wants to be a baby again and have their food mashed up. Either way, smoothie bowls never taste as good as they look. Plus, we’re adults now, it’s time we chewed our food.

#2 Going Out

I’ll concede, getting ready to go out can be fun. But actually being out? With the crowds, and the drunk people, and the shoes that get more uncomfortable throughout the night? Pass.

#3 Energy Drinks

I get their appeal, every student needs a burst of energy at some point throughout the semester. But can’t we all just drink coffee and eat sugar like normal people? Energy drinks taste like an unhealthy person’s urine, and that’s being nice. Coffee and chocolate taste like heaven. So, why are energy drinks still a thing?

#4 Online Textbooks

While they have their uses (mainly not being $500), online textbooks aren’t that great. We get excited at the start of semester because it means we don’t have to buy them. But, let’s be real: who actually downloads the PDF and uses the online ones?

#5 All-Nighters

These are always spoken about with some sort of reverence like they’re the Holy Grail of studying. But I’m calling bullshit. All-nighters are never as good as you think they’re going to be. You might spend 12 hours “studying”, but 10 hours of that is checking the time, snapchatting, or checking who else is online at 4am.

Plus, we all know “Nothing Good Happens After 2am”, and that goes for essays too.

#6 Avocado

Seriously, who decided that these fruits are good? It feels like a major conspiracy theory since they taste like grass and have the same mushy consistency as baby food. Maybe I’m just bitter because we’ve all sacrificed our home purchasing future for a fruit that’s 60% seed, or maybe it is a conspiracy theory to stop us buying homes.

#7 Cramming Classes Into Three Days

It seems like a good idea when you’re creating your timetable at the start of semester. Four-day weekend, every weekend? Oh yes.

But when you’re running from class to class so fast you legitimately consider wearing roller blades to uni, maybe you’ve got a problem.

#8 Graduation Hoodies

I know they’re comfy and all, but when you graduated 4 years ago surely you’ve had time to buy another hoodie? Ones that are probably comfier and doesn’t tell everyone where you graduated from.

#9 Facebook

Soz Mark Zuckerberg, but I’m calling it. Instagram’s better. Hell, even Snapchat’s better.
Facebook is where your mum, your study group, and your lecturers hang out. It’s time to hang up the Procrastination Crown, Facebook. When it comes to wasting hours online, there are better sites out there.

#10 Midday Lectures

Midday lectures are great if you love driving around and looking for a park, only to find one in Siberia. Cue the frantic run to class with all your textbooks. Uni’s get busy around midday, if you want a decent park, you’re better off just having your classes in the morning.
