We've all been there. We've all done it. Living like a college student has become just a normal part of becoming a functioning part of the "real world." So what does it mean to live like a college student? It means no money, no time, and having a great time without the worries of the world. What does it not mean? It doesn't mean having a steady job or actually worrying about money, or the lack there of. So if you aren't sure how to live like a college student and love life while doing it, here are some tips to enjoy your young life.

First, and foremost, for any serious college lifestyle the key element is a full stock of Ramen noodles. At anywhere from 10 to 20 cents per pack, a full load of Ramen meals can be accumulated with only a few bucks in your pocket. A steady diet of Ramen is key to keeping the budget down and the lean physique maintained. As if cost weren't a good enough excuse to dine on the cheap side, flavors galore give students ample selection for variety. With flavors such as chicken, beef, oriental, shrimp, and many more, Ramen offers an array of flavoring to add variety to a steady diet of noodles.

After you've established a cheap dining style with Ramen, it is next essential to practice your all-nighter skills. If you're going to be a college student, staying awake all night on a regular basis is a must. So why stay awake for those hours deep into the night? The reasons abound: studying for tests at the last minute, playing video games, watching movies, going to bars, hosting wild parties, etc. As any seasoned college veteran would attest, these all night memories will eventually be the best you have while in college, so grab an energy drink and get excited to stay awake until you see the sun rise for the second time in one day.

After you've added money from saving on meals and gained more time for fun by staying awake all night, you'll need something to do with that extra time and money. The perfect solution for the quintessential college pro is alcohol. So grab that money you've saved and head to your grocers to pick up a few adult beverages for you and your friends. After you've complied with all of these handy recommendations, you and your buddies can begin to let the good times roll like a professional college student. During these glorious college moments, you find it handy to have the latest drinking games memorized and ready to play with your friends. With each new game you bring to the table, your friends will love you more and more. You will now be the life of the party.

So after you've saved with Ramen and spent with alcohol, sipped a few energy drinks to stay awake, and doled out a few original drinking games at 2 AM, you will have morphed into a legitimate college student. Living the life of a student is one of jovial pleasure and little responsibility. It is unmatched by any other time in your life. So with no money, no time, you will have no problems and few cares. Follow the tips and suggestions above and you'll be sure to be on your way to happiness as a student.

    Ah...I remember those Ramen days. I still keep a stash in my pantry when I want to reminisce.
