If you remember The Wild Thornberrys from Nickelodeon, you probably remember Eliza's grumpy older sister Debbie. When I was younger I thought Debbie was mean, but as I got older, I realized Debbie is actually one of the most relatable cartoon characters ever. She's cynical, sarcastic, tired of dealing with her quirky family and she has great taste in music. As a college student, I understand Debbie's constant frustration with everyone and everything around her. These are some of Debbie's best moments in The Wild Thornberrys that capture what being a college student feels like.

1. When you have more than one exam on the same day.

2. When you're studying in the library but you know someone is probably going to try to talk to you.

3. When a professor calls you out for getting something wrong in class.

4. When there's nothing else good to eat at the dining hall so you resort to making a cheeseburger (sometimes more than one day a week).

5. When you get bored during class.

6. When you call home and say everything is fine and they actually believe you.

7. When you're about to get into bed but that one friend texts you about some drama that has nothing to do with your life.

8. When you get tired of all those people that try to seem cooler than they actually are.

9. When you're in a class that you need to take in order to graduate but it has nothing to do with your major.

10. When you're at the dining hall and the campus radio station plays your favorite song.

11. When you're having one of those days where you feel like no one is on your side and everyone somehow manages to annoy you.


12. When it's been a long day of classes and activities and you're ready to hide in your room.

Thank you for summing up how I feel about college sometimes, Debbie. Keep doing you, and stay grunge (because no matter what anyone says, grunge is NOT dead).

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.
