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?

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
