Oh, the irony that is the college experience: we are all here trying so desperately to get our lives together, but half the time we seem to be nothing but walking train wrecks. Here are nine instances that we all know to be painfully true as we stumble through this hectic point in our lives.

1. You run on fumes (caffeine) constantly so your BEC (Blood Espresso Content) is always through the roof.

2. You say you're dropping out of school every single day (yet, here you are, every single day...)


3. You learn how to make the most out of your time management skills.

3. "I'm going to get ready every day so I look cute this school year!" One week into the semester:

4. When you are shirking your responsibilities and you know it but then you can't stop thinking about all the shit you have to do.

5. You all of a sudden realize that you have to keep track of bills and make doctor appointments because mom isn't around to do it anymore.

6. When you swear that you're going to be healthy and stick to your diet regimen (for the 17th time this month) but then life happens (again).

7. When you get to that point in a paper where you just blank and start rambling about random things to make the length requirement.

9. Finally, when you check your bank account you realize how much you hate yourself.
