8 Thoughts College Kids Have During The Year As Told By "The Office"
huffpost.com

College is supposed to be the best time of our lives. We’re finally free to choose something we like to study, we can make our schedules, and we can make new friends. But, of course, we think we can do it all- have a social life, go to class, ace all classes, and even work- but that’s not realistic for most. Most of us go through different emotions every day. Throughout the year, we all or at least most of us feel some common emotions.

1. When School Finally Starts Again

It’s no secret all college kids, or at least most, have a long vacation. Those 3 1/2 to 4 months are pure bliss and very much needed in order to catch up from the stress of the year. But when we have to come back to reality, we all dread it or at least most of us do.

2. Buying Books And Paying Bills

Let's face it- most of us are broke in college. We just seem to kick it and hope for the best. It is a horrible feeling being in debt and knowing you can't pay some bills because some are so high they trump the others. Especially the books, which I agree are too expensive and, considering we're going there at least 4 years, they should be free. It's the least they could do.


3. Getting Homework On Or Before The First Day

I think everyone can agree we all hate those teachers who give us homework the very first day or even before the semester starts. I think it's unfair, especially getting work before. Like, we haven't even met you yet, calm down. I understand trying to get all the work done before the semester is over is hard, but with good teaching you shouldn't have to worry about it. If you have to stress over how you teach or finishing your curriculum in time, maybe you should revise your work load. It's not healthy for anyone.


4. Getting Swamped With Work

We've all been there: our work seems to only rise and you feel like you're drowning in it. Especially during finals, it can be rough and we feel like pulling our hair out.


5. Contemplating Everything And If It's Even Worth It

Let's face it, we've all been there when we've had too much on our plate and we end up questioning if it's even worth it to continue doing anything. We've all had the thought that we would be better doing nothing than going on. But rest assured, all this hard work will eventually pay off.


6. Dealing With Rude Teachers/Students

I think it's safe to say we've all had our fair share of teachers that have been rude or just not good at their job. We have also dealt with kids who are rude and, frankly, make you question why they're even in college because they do nothing. It's frustrating in these classes and, often time,s we find the class is the only one offered that semester. Or all other ones are filled and we can't switch teachers. It can be frustrating dealing with rude or mean students as well. It can really take the fun out of a class you may have been excited for.


7. Do Any Test

Let's face it, doing anything in college sends us into being an emotional wreck. We stress over everything and make everything a heavier task than usual when doing so. Us college people are usually very over-dramatic and I can definitely relate.


8. Not Caring

Most of us at some point just give up and stop caring. At the end of every semester, we always feel exhausted to the point of giving up and contemplating whether or not we want to go through with everything.

Bob's Burgers
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.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
