For those of you who have never heard of "The Amazing Race," it is an Emmy Award-winning reality series hosted by Phil Keoghan, where contestants race around the world to win the $1 million dollar prize at the end. At each destination along the way, the contestants have to compete in challenges—some mental and some physical. Once they complete the challenges, they advance to the next location. At the end of each leg, the last couple to reach Phil is ultimately eliminated.

"The Amazing Race" is very challenging and competitive—just like college. Here are 14 reasons college feels like "The Amazing Race."

1. You have to balance everything in your life at one time. It is important to have a social life and hang out with friends, but it is also important to do your work and get good grades. You have to find a middle ground where you can do both and still succeed.

2. You think you have done all your homework and start to get comfy in bed to watch Netflix in bed—but then realize you have 50 pages to read for your 9 a.m. class the next day.

3. You have a limited amount of time to complete a reading and writing assignment. It's already 9 p.m., but somehow you manage to get the work done and go to bed at a decent time.

4. Things get stressful and sometimes you have to let it all out and cry—or complain to your friends and family.

5. Sometimes you just have a bad day and everything feels like it's falling apart.

6. It's a good thing your friends are there for you when you need some motivation or tough love.

7. But life is unpredictable and sometimes it is hard to hang on and stay sane. Some days you just feel like letting go and giving up—but you manage to get through the tough days.

8. Trying to stay calm when someone in class is totally off topic during a group discussion.

9. Finals week is the week when everyone is in the library—especially those who aren't normally there. You successfully find a quiet place to study, but it also happens to be your favorite carrel in the library.

10. You thought you failed your Spanish exam, but in reality, you aced it.

11. There will be new and difficult challenges each step of the way, but you just have to take the risk and jump.

12. Through it all, you somehow manage to survive each day and strive to reach your goals.

13. And you look good while achieving your goals.

14. No one except you is shocked about the things that you have accomplished and have overcome during the school year.
