Stephen Colbert is known for being a comedic mastermind, but what you didn't know is how well his genius can describe your life as a college student in a few simple gifs. It's actually kind of incredible.

1. Your feelings coming back from a string of days off -- friends, but school work, IM sports, but cafeteria food.

2. When your professor extends a deadline to a project you didn't do in the first place.

3. When your teacher forgot to grade that one assignment you've been waiting for -- again.

4. Do calories count in college? Who knows, and even better, who cares?

There's nothing better than a nice tub of ice cream to heal those midterm grade emotions.

5. Watching one of your friends present in class.

6. Watching anybody else present in class.

7. Trying to flirt on campus like, "Mmhm -- you know you like me -- nevermind -- just maybe..."

8. When the professor gossips about a student absent for the day.

9. Attempting to fit in during pledge week by being a part of something... anything!

Don't forget the secret handshake, and that one pose for all the photos.

10. When a professor talks about extra credit for your attendance at an event or participation in a project.

11. Getting to finals week and hoping you can learn the material through osmosis.

12. When you have no money, but still want to have a good time.

13. Any time animals are on campus -- ever.

14. Imagining your future graduation.
