12 Ways Joey Tribbiani Was a Mid-Spring Semester College Student

All students can relate to the mid-semester feeling of misery. Assignments begin to pile up, work becomes overbearing, club activities seem non-stop and we all begin to slowly lose motivation for almost everything. Spring break comes as a small moment of relief, teasing us with the pleasure of no responsibilities and relaxation. The mid-semester drag might be rough fall semester, but it becomes even worse during the spring, especially when warmer weather starts to poke its head back into our lives and summer vacation creeps closer and closer with every paper we write and tear we shed.

Soon enough, we find ourselves pursuing different methods to make the pain more tolerable and to distract ourselves from the never-ending workload. Picking up a yoga class might help, as might taking an extra nap during the week or even taking a hike through nature. No matter what coping method you use, one thing is certain: Joey Tribbiani from "Friends" is one of the few people who can relate to us in nearly any situation.

The lovable character from the popular show is a college student in many ways - broke, always hungry, slightly naive, thirsty for love and most of all, full of energy. Joey's sweet disposition, in more ways than one, is the perfect example of the way the majority of students feel by the time the middle of spring semester rolls around: tired, ready for change and broke.

1. Relaxing on spring break like:

2. Coming back to school and realizing how much you need to do.

3. When you and your friends are all out of money and are willing to eat anything that's under $10.

4. When you are willing to do anything for money.


5. When you "accidentally" miss your 8 a.m. for the third time.

6. When professors start to talk about preparing for finals.

7. When you and your friend manage to finish one assignment.

8. Trying to motivate your friends when they start to lose hope.

9. When professors schedule homework over the weekend.

10. When trying to look nice for class is no longer an option so you do the best you can to be somewhat presentable.

11. Coming to terms with your freshman 15.

12. When you still manage to pull the semester off with good grades.

Thank you Joey, for truly always understanding.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
