The Life Of Overwhelmed College Students As Told By Friends
Entertainment Weekly

College is often a juggling act with what can fit in your schedule. Between classes, homework, and clubs, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. One way to de-stress is to take a Netflix break and watch a comedy like "Friends," but sometimes there is not even any time for a "Friends" fix. For those of us studying and not binge-watching, here are 12 times the cast of "Friends" captured what it is like to be an overwhelmed college student.

1. It is an enormous effort to make intelligent comments in your 8 a.m. classes.

Waking up is only half the battle.

2. Your uncertainty about your major, summer plans and job prospects is constantly pointed out.

3. When winter hits, you tread the fine line between warmth and style.

Shoutout to Northeast winters.

4. When you answer a professor’s question wrong in class, you feel the need to overcompensate the next time.



But maybe wait until a question is actually asked.

5. When a professor assigns a project or exam for the first day back from break:

There is always that over-the-top professor.

6. When people are talking in the quiet section of the library, Ross’ “keep it down” does not seem so ridiculous anymore.


A quiet library is sacred.

7. You always say you will go to bed early, but inevitably . . .

8. Thus you have mastered how to nap in public places, from class to the library.


This skill is invaluable.

9. You are tired of being asked to join every club, activity, or fundraiser on campus.

10. You are always in for a surprise at the dining halls.

Stay away from the suspicious meat dishes.

11. Socializing can be hard.

Some days you feel your inner Chandler more than others.

12. Ultimately, college is where you have made some of your closest friends – all who are just as stressed as you are.

No matter how overwhelmed you feel, your friends are always there to make you laugh.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
