The stress, the tears, the struggle.

10 Times 'Modern Family' Described College Life
ABC Go

1. When you realize how bad all of the food is for you... even the salads.

Those chicken fingers and fries are all fun and games until you gain 10 pounds in one week.

2. Encountering those kids who come to college and become political, social, and environmental advocates.

And they don't shut up about it. You throw your plastic water bottle in the garbage instead of the recycling and all hell breaks loose.

3. When it's Friday night but you would rather stay in your room watching High School Musical instead of going out.

Before you come to college you can't wait to go out all the time, but then you get here and wish you were back to being a little kid.

4. The mandatory philosophy class you have to take.

You don't understand how people actually think of that stuff, and probably never will.

5. When you get rejected and try to make yourself feel better about it.

Because you're beautiful and there has to be an underlying reason why he doesn't like you.

6. When you say you're not going to drink, and then you end up like this:

"I'm not going out tonight." "Okay I'll go out tonight, but I'm not drinking." "Alright I'll just have one drink." ... *Has 6 drinks*

7. The struggle of college calculus.

Once again, something else you don't understand and probably never will.

8. Every morning when your alarm goes off.

*Sobs uncontrollably*

9. The kid you gave your number to and wish you never did.

He tries so hard but just does not get the message... you're not mean, just not interested.

10. And, of course, if you listened to what they told you at the school's wellness center.

I just have a runny nose, stop questioning me about my sex life. Thanks.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
