Being a college student means being broke, being stressed, and getting used to eating almost anything because school food is not always the best. The same happens to Max and Caroline in "2 Broke Girls". Max is a broke waitress living on her own in Brooklyn, NY until she meets Caroline who's a newly broke heiress looking for a job. Max has lived this way her whole life and when it comes to money and her job, she does enough to get by. Here are a few GIFs that show how Max is just like the rest of us college students just trying to get by.
1. She tells it like it is.
She is honest and open. Plus isn't this just basically what our parents taught us since birth? Treat others how you want to be treated! This is how I feel most of the time when I am in class or talking to some people here on campus. If you are going to be mean to me, I will equally be mean back.
2. She doesn't care.
Sometimes you just have to not care about the stupid and petty drama around you. Why get mixed up into it? In college so many things are going on around you. Whether it be that the guy down the hall is hooking p with your roommate, or that this new club on campus is going around doing stupid stuff, sometimes you just have to roll your eyes and not care to get mixed up into it.
3. She eats everything!
Food is wonderful and beautiful in every way! To college kids good food can become a delicacy, and therefore, you get students willing to eat anything. This is the reason why the freshman 15 exists.
4. She doesn't like listening.
Unfortunately this is very true. Most college students hate having to listen. I mean face it, we had to listen so much up until now, and we thought this was our escape. Yeah, well it's not! Some students even go into class with headphones in their ears.
5. She is super poor.
Just like every college student, she is broke as can be! Some schools don't even have free laundry — so this GIF could actually be true.
6. She thinks before she acts.
We have all been there! Sometimes we just have to think about it and tell ourselves no. Whether it means no drinking the night before a test or not hooking up with that guy in your statistics class. You have to think before you do things sometimes.
7. She knows how to make friends.
When you realize that you all are broke friends forever! But seriously, that college loan debt though!
8. She speaks the truth.
This is college in one GIF. College is not always going to be like what it looks like on the movies, and that sucks. But just like Max says, "It's life, lower your expectations."
9. Her priorities are straight.
Who doesn't put gummy bears above bills while in college? Personally I would like to say that I spend my spare money on important things. What do I actually spend my money on? New clothes, candy, and cute random things for my apartment!
10. She gets how we feel after an all-nighter.
After studying for hours and hours on end, this is how you will feel before and right after every exam. Or for my fellow theatre majors out there, after tech week.
11. But Max also knows the great feeling succeed after all that hard work.
After so long of not being able to do anything but study it's wonderful to succeed on something!
12. She understands our struggles as college students.
When thinking about the future or anything about class many students utter similar phrases. Not many exciting things outside of parties happen to college students, but just being with your friends can be enough.
