16 Struggles Of A College Student As Told By 'Friends'

If you're in college now, there's a 99 percent chance that you've seen "Friends." Also, there's a 99 percent chance that you've experienced some of these struggles in your college life already, and you'll probably end up experiencing all of them within the first year and most likely, for the rest of your time in college. So, if you're a "Friends" fanatic, experience one, or many of these irritating scenarios, please enjoy.

1. When that person in front of you in line at the cafe takes the last chocolate chip cookie.


2. When your lecture is taught by a foreign professor and everything that comes out of their mouth sounds like:


3. When you're half asleep during your 8 a.m., but you still have to participate in discussion.


4. Your parents' reaction when they see your midterm grades.


5. When you accidentally walk in on your roommate and their "friend." As Janice once said (a couple of times) "OH. MY. GOD."


6. When your professor uploads all of their slides online.


7. When you and your friends are trying to decide which one of you is going to run downstairs to pick up the pizza from the delivery guy.


8. Every time your roommate texts you asking, "Hey, can I eat one of your snacks?"


9. When you have to write a love poem and perform it in front of your poetry class.


10. When you convince your professor to extend the deadline of that five-page paper.


11. When you go out with your friends and of course, someone gets sick, so naturally, you're asked to help take care of them.


12. When you finally get home for Thanksgiving break.


13. And when you're trying to survive the family Thanksgiving dinner.


14. When it's one o'clock in the morning, and the people in the room next to you are blasting music.


15. When you and your friends decide you're going to drop out of college and marry a rich man who will take care of you for the rest of your life.


16. When you check your bank account statement and realize that you probably shouldn't have gone to Chipotle the past three, all right, four days straight.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
