12 Times All College Students Are Chandler Bing

Because could college BE any more annoying?

12 Times All College Students Are Chandler Bing

As college students, we have certain unspoken obligations to be sarcastic, hardworking and totally full of despair yet still full of fun. Basically, we're all just little Chandler Bings. In other words, we need to complain and be a little blunt with people. Here are just a few times in the day of the life of a college student that this rings truer than true.

1. When you're trying to study in the library, but people decide to have a loud conversation near you instead of doing work.

I mean really, a library is for studying, not socializing!

2. When you're forced to make friends in your class for a group project.

There's nothing worse in college than being forced to socialize with people you wouldn't be talking to outside of class.

3. When your roommate tries to motivate you to go to the gym with them.

And even though you feel guilty for paying for that gym membership and only using it once, you and I both know that Netflix and your bed are way better.

4. When your friends are coupled up and you're still single.

Ah yes, constant reminders that you are single and all your friends have love...that's the best.

5. When you're trying to focus during your 8 a.m.

Trust me, you'll learn to sleep with your eyes open.

6. When your professors assign two essays, an exam and a project all in one week.

Do professors honestly think we're machines that do nothing but work and study? Because that's what it's starting to feel like.

7. When you try to stay up all night to get an essay done.

Once 2 a.m. rolls around, you may as well kiss that coherent conclusion goodbye and save it for the morning.

8. When people ask you what your major is and what you want to do with your degree.

"Oh you know, I could go into this field or maybe I'll change my major...again."

9. When you're trying to sit through a lecture, but it's just too boring.

Sometimes a lecture can just be way too bland, and the job of having to sit through it is much too daunting. Don't worry, no one will notice if you slip out the back door.

10. When you're filling your friend in on what they did the night before.

There's nothing funnier than having to retell the night's events to a friend who doesn't quite remember with a smug grin and endless opportunities for jokes.

11. When the dining hall actually has something good for once.

Edible chicken? A new menu item? Bless the days that the dining halls decide to change it up, and you don't have to dig into your actual wallet for decent food.

12. When you're sick of going out and just want a quiet night in.

Don't get me wrong, parties are great, but sometimes a nice, quiet, relaxing night in is what you really need.

So, even if we do complain more than we should, we're not alone. College is tough, but at least, we're all going through it together. And hey, sometimes just venting or taking a day to relax and binge-watch "Friends" (and anything else Netflix has to offer) can help with a stressful week. College is a time when we all have the chance to become the sarcastic underdog in everyday situations. Could Chandler be more like us?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
