They just get us.

10 Animals College Students Can Relate To

Being a college student is all kinds of crazy. There are classes, homework assignments, organizations, work, bills, and a social life to keep up with. Life can feel way too hectic and sometimes the idea of becoming an animal for a while doesn't sound so bad. Here are ten animals that just seem to get us.

1. Horses

As a college student, there are days when it feels like you are constantly being trained and harnessed to perform for other people. Sometimes you just want to break free from your constraints and gallop away to do your own thing for a while, instead of the super-detailed project your business professor wants you to do.

2. Raccoons

Because what doesn't sound better than taking food from other people? Most college students are mooches (due to the whole no-money thing) and free stuff sounds really nice. We might just steal your food when you aren't looking.

3. Sloths

Like the legendary sloth, many college students wish they could just lounge around all day, going zero miles per hour, with no one relying on us or expecting us to show up to class. What a life that would be.

4. Quokkas

Known as the happiest animals on earth, quokkas are constantly smiling. College students learned the art of a fake smile long ago and use it to their advantage. That way, no one will ask them what's wrong when they're simply done with school (which happens a lot) or don't feel like sharing their problems with the world.

5. Chameleons

For some, the idea of blending into the crowd and keeping to themselves can be appealing. Whether you're too tired to talk, trying to focus on school, or just not in the mood for conversation, being as invisible as a chameleon would be nice sometimes.

6. Chimpanzees

A lot of college students use college as an excuse to "sow their wild oats." Partying, drinking, and doing things that you know you won't be able to do with a family and responsibilities can be tempting. Just be careful that you don't end up behind bars like the chimps at the zoo.

7. Bats

Two words: no sleep. Much like the nocturnal life of bats, college students tend to substitute sleep for either academics, work, or socializing. We rely on the assistance of coffee to power us through our days.

8. Puppies

Sometimes we just feel like we've been thrown into adulthood with no training. We constantly need attention and we can make a lot of mistakes before we get things right. But, if you keep us fed and happy, we'll be little bundles of joy (or at least try to).

9. Squirrels

I have a paper due at midnight? Wait, isn't the season finale of "The Walking Dead" tonight? Didn't I promise my friend I would study with her? Should I order some pizza? The life of a college student involves constantly having to decide between a ton of different options. It's easy to get overwhelmed and distracted.

10. Bunnies

It can feel like you never stop moving in college. There's always something to do, somewhere to be, things piling up that you need to finish. Bunnies are always darting about and we envy their seemingly endless energy.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
