10 Times TV Lied About Adulthood

You cannot say television did not make you think your life would be picture perfect.

Now that we have made it to college, we are starting realize that the TV shows of our youth that caused us to lay on the couch and binge-watch ABC Family( Netflix wasn't a thing, children), sadly lied to us about being an adult.

1. You're not a Waldorf; you WILL be poor after graduation.

Yes, after the cast of Gossip Girl graduated they were still rich. I'm sure some of us lived in that fantasy for part of high school at least.

2. You won't be famous by singing about a cat.

K, thanks for false hopes Phoebe.

3. Moms don't get to be porn stars

In case anyone had some weird dreams of achieving this, only Farrah Abraham can pull that off. She needs a parenting book.

4. Hooking up with your best friend doesn't result in a relationship that everyone roots for...

Thank you, "Friends", for making me think this would work.

5. You won't marry Chuck Bass...

Goddamn, Chuck Bass. Why do you do this to us?

6. College will never be as great at Blue Mountain State...

Nothing will beat the goat house.

7. The Real World is not, in fact, the real world...

Nate, I know. No one's life is filmed 24/7...We also have to pay bills...I know, shocking...

8. Bippity Boppity Boo won't solve your problems...

Cinderella, you have a fairy godmother. You think she can fix my college debt? No? Stop crying.

9. You cannot eat copious amounts of spicy foods and then be okay....

You know this guy was running to the toilet between scenes. Did anyone else see him eat a pound of ice cream?

10. Climbing through the window of your crushes room isn't legal...it can be considered an actual crime.

Okay, so Matty McKibben goes through the back door...same thing.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

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. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
