10 Times You Were Joey From Friends

"How you doin'?"

Jan 23, 2017

Anyone who has watched even an episode of the iconic TV show "Friends" could probably find a few instances where Joey Tribbiani read their minds. Sometimes it can scare you just how much Joey’s character gets you. Here are 10 times that you and Joey are on the same wavelength:

1. When someone tries to steal one of your fries.

Some people might think this is an overreaction, but french fries are sacred. When it comes to the love of food, don't test me.

2. When you don't really know what's going on but you pretend to anyway.

We've all been there. Your friends are talking about that show they all watch and you have no clue what they are talking about. But you have too much pride to tell them that so you laugh along anyway. You think, "It's fine. They won't catch me." They will. They will always catch you.

3. When you just need to have a good "ice cream and cry."

Why hasn't this term been coined yet? I do it. You do it. Joey does it. We all do it. If "Netflix and chill" can be a thing I think "ice cream and cry" should get a fair shot.

4. When you struggle with foreign languages.

French is confusing, okay?

5. When you struggle with your native language.

English is confusing, okay?!?!

6. When you see your best friend after a long (or not so long) time apart.

Winter break is a long time. Were you expecting to break their ribs with the strength of your bear-like grip? No. Did it happen anyway? Probably.

7. When people don't understand your highly refined palette.

Why don't people understand peanut butter fingers? It is the snack of kings.

8. When someone questions what kind of delivery food to get.

Who even asks this question? Pizza is the superior delivery food. It's obvious.

9. When your food is taking forever to get out of the kitchen.

The hungry monster gets even the best of us. Sometimes you are so hungry that the only thought you have is, "Can I eat that?"

10. When you eat way too much and you know that in 20 minutes you will probably be throwing up.

Was it good? Did it cost a lot of money? Did you have something to prove? If the answer to any of those questions was yes then it was worth it.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

You are basically a zombie with a pencil.

You receive confused looks from others when you name drop an author/literary terminology.

You wear your suffering as a badge.

You proofread every text and social media post you write.

You cringe when you read a non-English major's paper,

You could spend all day in a library.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

The good old days are always happening now, so live in the moment.

“Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica” are the three most important topics one can talk about.

The Dundies are cooler than the Oscars.

Everybody has a Toby, and they are just someone you have to learn to deal with.

Group pictures are hard to take (especially jumping pics).

It's never too early to eat ice cream.

Schrute’s are always prepared for anything.

Except pop culture references...

Holidays are important and a very good reason to host any kind of party.

There will always be cynical co-workers to deal with.

Putting things in Jell-O is a great use of your time.

Sometimes funny voices and personas make awkward situations easier (just ask Prison Mike).

That places you may not always love can bring you the people you love.

Determination is an important characteristic to possess.

Sarcasm is essential in everyday life.

Love can be really weird.

At Halloween time, it is trivial to come with your best costume ready.

Friendship is long lasting no matter where the future takes you.

Pranks are funny no matter the age.

Goodbyes are hard, but reunions are worth it.

Blogs are confusing.

"That's what she said" jokes will never get old.

Jim Halpert can say so much with just a look at the camera.

Bros should always come before hoes because...

Declaring bankruptcy isn't as hard as we all thought.

Office places can be weird and stressful at times.

Michael Scott loves Dunder Mifflin and the Scranton Office more than anything.

"The Office" truly does have a lot that it can teach us.

Ah, pre-med: home of the dead at heart.

1. You have forsaken all your friends for coffee.

2. 8 hours of sleep? Try 4 instead.

3. Everyone asks you for medical advice, even though you’re not a doctor yet.

4. Your second home is the library.

5. Almost all of your nightmares are about school and exams.

6. You don’t see the problem with taking 3 technicals in one semester.

7. Research, research, research, research, research.

8. You volunteer more than any of your friends.

9. You like going to labs more than going to lecture.

10. But, you know it’ll all be worth the struggle the day you don that white coat and call yourself a doctor.

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.
