7 Animal Crossing GIFs That Perfectly Describe College
Animal Crossing

With summer here, I've had a lot more time to spend playing different video games to keep myself occupied at times. Despite having so many choices at my disposal, I find myself coming back to the one game that has never failed to make me smile: "Animal Crossing." There's a lot that can be learned from the simple game, especially as a college student, so I'd like to present 7 "Animal Crossing" GIFs that perfectly describe life as a college student.

1. What early classes actually look like

You tell yourself every time you schedule, "Oh, I'll be able to do it. It'll be okay. I'll stay awake." Yet, every day you have that class, you find yourself in the same sleep-deprived stupor, hoping to whatever deities might listen that you'll learn something.

2. Thinking about going to the gym got you like

Almost everyone thinks they're going to lose tons of weight, but the majority of us know that when push comes to shove, this is what it really feels like when trying to motivate yourself.

3. When you look at the amount of work you have to do and the lack of free time it leaves

You know somewhere in your head that school comes first, but it begins to feel soul-sucking at a certain point. Then when you start to think about all the time working you're going to do over the summer, it feels even worse.

4. The feeling when you walk out of your last class for the week


Freedom is a beautiful feeling. 'Nuff said.

5. What everyone looks like over the weekend, pretending they don't have anything to do

Even though your schedule is packed and you've been procrastinating that big project due on Tuesday, we all know you're gonna be letting loose the whole weekend. Don't even try to pretend you won't because we both know that's just not true.

6. Sunday morning always feels like


The exhaustion from your nights of partying to forget you have responsibilities catches up to you quickly, and while Pascal may be talking about the difference between floating and standing, he really understands that struggle.

7. How Sunday night feels when you realize the week is about to start again


The panic is real. We all tell ourselves it's not going to happen again after the last weekend. We put in the effort to set ourselves up for success, yet it always turns out the same. That panic comes and soon enough, we're back on that same screwed up schedule.

All in all, plenty of people will believe that Animal Crossing is just another kids game on the shelf, waiting to be disregarded by the children in a few years. However, if you're as dedicated a player as I am, as well as many others I know, you can see the relatable aspects of the game to anyone, especially us college students.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
