13 Times This Guy Was Basically Every College Student To Ever Exist

The Daily Dot

A GIF of this guy blinking has gone viral on Twitter. The GIF shows Drew Scanlon, from video game website Giant Bomb’s Unprofessional Fridays, and has existed for a while now. But it has recently recirculated on your Twitter and Facebook feeds and is known as the “white guy blinking” meme. People have been using this guy to talk about their families, love lives, movies, friends, driving, etc. I mean you name it, he's probably reacted to it. I found his reaction to be extremely relatable. So here's my little compilation of times this white guy blinking was basically every college student ever.

1. When you turn in an exam, your classmates start to talk about their answers and none of theirs match yours.

2. Student two months ago: "I'm gonna have a 4.0 this semester and stay on top of things!!!"

Student now:

3. When you (not so surprisingly) receive a low grade on an assignment after not studying or preparing at all for it.

4. When you intend on taking a 30 minute nap but you wake up 3 hours later.

5. Student: looks at clock while writing a paper

Time: 6:30pm

Student: Writes for 3 hours, eats dinner, calls mom

Time: 6:42pm

6. Student: finishes assignment minutes before it's due

Professor: Very insightful, great work

Student:

7. Goes to the rec for the first time all semester and doesn't automatically lose 10 pounds.

8. When you are giving an oral presentation and you hear someone laugh.

9. Student: Spends money

Bank: Takes money spent out of my account

Student:

10. Professor: "Ok projects are due 2 months from now!!"

Student: "I've got plenty of time"

2 months later

Professor: "Presentation time!!"

Student:

11. Professor: "The highest score was a 96 and the lowest score was a 52"

Student: "What fool got a 52?!"

gets test handed back

Student:

12. Joins a club to get involved around campus

Club actually asks me to do something...

13. Student: "I am so gonna fail this exam"

fails exam

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Denison University

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.
