26 GIFs That Totally Explain College Life
Story Chick

We've all been there in college. Here are 32 hysterical GIFs that explain what going through college is like.

1. The first day confusion.

This school is huge and I have no idea where I am.

2. And then when you first meet your teachers.

Are you the teacher?

3. Teacher Type #1

The teacher you will learn from and enjoy.

4. Teacher Type #2

The teacher who puts you to sleep.

5. Teacher Type #3

The teacher that makes you regret ever coming to college.

6. When you're given a super long term paper assignment.

I don't think I can write 5,000 words on this. I'm not sure I know that many words.

7. It's even harder to do when you can't even understand the book your report is on.

These words don't make any sense!

8. And if its on science or Shakespeare, there is no hope.

My brain has not been prepared for this.

9. And studying into the night takes up all our energy.

It's 3:00 am and I still have three more chapters to read.

10. And when morning classes come around.

I slept through the whole Civil War.

11. And once you get through your first month.

Then realize you have another three years and eight months of school left. Not including Summers.

12. When high school students ask advice.

Stay in High School is the best advice you can give.


13. The only way to explain college.

In more words or less.

14. Making friends in college.

I don't remember it being this awkward in middle school.


15. And then finding a college romance.

Just as awkward.


16. All the females question our sexuality.

Thanks to Orange Is The New Black's star Ruby Rose


17. Experimenting with the party scene.

Liquid courage. Bad choice that seems like a necessity.


18. When people ask what your plan in life is.

What do you plan to do after you graduate?


19. The unlimited food plan for Resident Students.

It seems like the best thing ever.


20. Until you realize the food sucks.

The pizza is kind of edible.


21. And for those without the unlimited plan.

Ramen Noodles are your new best friend.


22. Paying for college.

Just throwing away my life savings.


23. Breaking Bad seems like a good option.

I have to pay off my loans some way.


24. Your bank account after college.

Looks like I'm broke.


25. Life goals after college change.

This could be the new dream.


26. Joining the "real world."

This should be fun. I will see y'all later if we survive!

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!

And so it begins.

You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
