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*

Student:

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.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
