13 Ways Berry College Is Just Like Portlandia

"I had to take a sick day; I'm so sick of these people."

Hipsters: They're everywhere, man. And they come in so many flavors. Some are crunchy, some are a weird mix of mustache wax and micro-brews and others are all natural vegans, but everyday is "cheat day." One show has taken to making fun of a particular strain of hipsters from Portland, Ore.: "Portlandia," an IFC comedy on Netflix starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. And you know where else there's a high concentration of hipsters? That's right, Berry College. So here are a few ways the hipsters of Portlandia are just like the hipsters of Berry College.

1. That one guy who really, really loves his Patagonia.

Oh hey, dude, that guy has the same one as you...and so does that guy...huh.

2. How the Berry Bookstore and Oak Hill Gift Shop sell anything and everything with the Berry Bald Eagles on it.

3. Those girls who block the dessert counter because they can't decide if they want the peanut butter cookies or the chocolate chip ones.

Can I just scoot by real quick? 'Scuse me, sorry...sorry...

4. Hanging around after a late night to see if you can take some of the extra food back to your dorm with you.

5. With the new stadium, a lot of people are going to have to learn how to cheer for a sports team now.

"Sports!"

6. The day you mistakenly run into the not-so-friendly campus feminist.

7. When everyone and their grandma are up at the Res.

8. And when there are some seriously under/over prepared people up there too.

9. When you start to realize that Yik Yak kinda sucks, and half the time it's just freshmen looking for hook-ups.

Meet hot new singles in your area or read complaints about D-hall.

10. That awkward sexual experience with one of your peers for the first time.

11. And it's not as spontaneous or satisfying like you expected.

...But there will be sweat and a max of two minutes of cuddling.

12. That one off-campus tourist that feels that it's appropriate to treat you like a tour guide.

Leave the bubble Simba, and never return.

13. And when you finally get that night outside the Berry Bubble.

"Bro! You just spilled your drink on my Chacos!"

Check out "Portlandia" on Netflix today!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.
