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).
