"That 70's Show" is a TV comedy depicting the life of Eric Forman and friends as they struggle through adolescence in the 70's. This show, while having a tendency to be completely ridiculous, is also incredibly relatable. The characters' exaggerated lives resonate on a personal level with viewers, especially when dealing with that infamous "R" word: relationships. So, here are nine times "That 70's Show" perfectly summed up what it's like to be single.

1. It's not always easy to find someone to talk to.

The awesome thing about a significant other is that they’re basically your built-in best friend. That's great, except when they're not around. When you’re single, you have to find other people to talk to. And sometimes, that’s harder than it seems.

2. Sometimes, you just need some attention.


There are days where you just feel like the world goes by without you. Little compliments and just knowing that people care about you can make everything better.

3. There are days when it doesn't seem like you'll ever find love again.


You’ll try to justify it to yourself. You’ll try to tell yourself that you don’t need anybody else, and that you’re perfectly capable of doing it all on your own. And for a while, it works.

4. Eventually, you realize you can't do it all on your own.


Even if you want to, it'�s just not possible. But man, wouldn’t it be nice?

5. Sometimes, you get a little hysteric.


Being lonely can be rough. Sometimes you just have to let loose. Laughter is medicine for the soul.

6. At least you can always eat.


Hey, no matter what happens, you can comfort yourself with a nice pint of ice cream and some pasta right? Emotional overeating, check.

7. Food becomes your top priority.


Boys are temporary, but food will never leave you. Need I say more?

8. There are days you just need someone to hold you.


Sometimes the hugs you get from your friends aren’t enough. You cling to any shred of human contact, hoping it lasts just a little longer.

9. You appreciate your friends so much more.


It's important to have friends you can count on. Life gets lonely sometimes. It happens. Yeah, there are going to be times when you’re single, but those are sometimes the moments where you see just how great your friends are. So sit back and just bask in the joy of existing. What’s meant to be will be, and your friends will be rooting for you the whole way there.

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.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. 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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. 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.

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. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
