16 Times Anna Kendrick Was All Of Us

If you don't know who she is, then we can't be friends.

16 Times Anna Kendrick Was All Of Us
Mr. Owl

First, can we all just agree that Anna Kendrick is one of the best celebrities out there? I mean, she's funny, awkward, and not afraid to speak her mind. I recently read her book Scrappy, Little, Nobody (go buy it, you won't regret it) (wait, you might regret it when your stomach is hurting from laughing at her hilarity, but you'll get over it) and I realized just how relatable she actually is. Guys, she's just like us.

1. When she was in middle school

Let's get one thing straight, middle school is hell. And even poor Anna Kendrick was picked on. In her book she says, "When my sixth-grade crush enumerated the reasons he wouldn't date any of the girls in our class, my label was 'too short.'" But seriously, look at her precious face. Kids are mean.


2. Her hobbies

Sweatpants and staying home? Those are like the magic words to make anyone happy. If you have some time to wear sweats and stay home, you're doing life right.


3. When she figured out the secret to love

"Wait, that's it! By fifth grade, I cracked a major development in strategy. I needed to get boys to talk to me." Girl, same.


4. Overestimating her abilities

We've all been there.


5. Avoiding human contact

This is so relatable on so many levels. I don't know about you, but I eat in my car more often than I'd like to admit so I don't have to talk look at people.


6. When she was adulting for the first time

"I was constantly congratulating myself for the smallest things. Yeah, I'm just riding the subway to work in New York City like it's no big deal." If you don't congratulate yourself on the little things, then I'm pretty sure you're adulting wrong.


7. When she didn't understand clubbing

"'Why isn't anyone dancing?' I shouted. If this had been the TV version of my life, a character would have explained that you don't dance, you just stand around looking cool." You're first time clubbing is quite the adventure.


8. Her rules for Taco Bell

Same. I'm like a unicorn and I don't really like Taco Bell (I know, fight me later), but if it's after midnight then I'm usually on board.


9. Her take on small talk

"Small talk makes me feel like the world is on fire." I'm pretty sure we all feel this way.


10. Her feelings about sleep

This is me about 90% of the time.


11. When meeting a famous person

I guess in her case it would be meeting a famous-er person. One time she met Beyonce and above is her reaction. I've actually had an experience where I saw someone famous out and I did not know what to do so I just froze up and didn't even talk to him. I get crap for it all the time.


12. Her thoughts on sharing food

1. Food is life. 2. Dessert is the best meal of the day. 3. JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD (if you don't get this reference, we can't be friends...by the way, it's from Friends)


13. Boobs or butt guy

I don't care who you are, you have an opinion about the subject. Me? I'm a boob guy like Anna (pretty sure Anna and I are on a first name basis since I read her book and pretty much know everything about her now).


14. When she jams out

Okay, you caught me. This is from Lip Sync Battle, but she's still jamming out pretty hard. Take any long car ride and add some of your favorite music, you'll get the same result.


15. Being awkward

She's not afraid to admit it and neither am I. I'm awkward. Anna's awkward. You're awkward. We're all awkward, but we can be awkward together.


16. Always thinking things will be better next year

"And YET, I always think, This is my year. This year I'm going to get my shit SO together that I'll always be able to see the solution to my problems. I'm going to get it so together that I'll never have to 'get it together' again." That's the hope for all of us. But, so far this year Anna's already been to the Golden Globes and she has at least one movie that will be released this year (Pitch Perfect 3) so Anna has a decent chance of getting it together this year.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
