17 Thoughts I Had The First Week Of School

I was not ready for school to start. Going to class daily and having a ton of reading for every single class is never fun, but on the bright side, I have an excuse to drink a lot of coffee (which I'm most likely addicted to) and I get to see all my friends so I guess it's okay.

1. Why did I choose to move 2,000 miles away? I hate long flights.

2. How the hell did me and one other person fill up a whole storage unit?

3. I've been on campus for 20 minutes and already tripped up the stairs.

4. FRIENDS!!! I've missed you all so much!

5. I'm tired but I'm with all my friends, so who needs sleep?

6. Next Morning Me. I needed sleep.

7. Who are all these faces I don't know? Transfers or freshman?

8. First day of classes and I'm already wanting to fall asleep.

9. Thank god for coffee otherwise I wouldn't be functioning.

10. I've already been told I need sleep and it's the beginning of the semester. That's great.

11. Third day of classes Why do I feel more exhausted now than during midterms?

12. Why did I stay up with my friend working the overnight the night before I worked one? I couldn't tell you.

13. I work tonight. I'm going to sleep before I go.

14. 15 minutes later Why, Meredith Grey, why?

15. I've probably made about 89 poor life decisions already and it's only the first week.

16. Thank god it's finally Saturday. Maybe I can catch up on sleep.

17. Wait, who am kidding? I never catch up on sleep.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
