Axl Heck may be the most iconic character on ABC's "The Middle." He always has something funny and sarcastic to say in every situation. A few of these phrases accurately describe feelings that a lot of college students have. Here are 7 Axl Heck Quotes that accurately describe what it feels like to be in college.

1. "I had the lowest of expectations, and I'm still disappointed."

We’ve all had these experiences. Maybe it’s a class you signed up for that you thought would be really great, but in reality it’s just disappointing. Maybe you bombed a test, and then you did worse then you thought. It’s not often things seek lower than your expectations, but it does happen, and it happens in college more often than anywhere else.

2. “I'm not a kid anymore, I need to get a job!”

Even if you had a job in high school, it’s a whole different story in college. When you’re trying to balance all of the credit hours you’re taking, clubs, and a social life, it doesn’t always seem like there’s time. But with all of that going on, you’ll go broke fast. Food doesn’t seem expensive at the time when you’re going out, but all of those outings add up fast. A job is a must.

3. “Stop it. I was at school all day. Brain off.”

School is absolutely exhausting. I don’t care how many A.P. classes you took in high school, college is so different and so much harder. I don’t know how I used to wake up at 6 a.m. everyday, because now I struggle to roll out of bed and make it to my 8 a.m. I also don’t know how I made it through a seven hour school day, because even on days where I only have two fifty minute classes, I feel drained. No matter how easy or hard your day is, the best feeling is when it's over, and you can kick back with your favorite snack and relax.

4. “My first instinct is to always eat things.”

Food is life. In college, the one thing people commonly bond over is food. People meet up with friends to eat in the cafeteria, or they go out every weekend to get some off campus food. Or even grocery shopping (because dining hall food is gross). Food is a must in college.

5. “I’m too depressed to get up.”

Relatable. After a long week full of tests, quizzes, projects, and assignments, some of which you probably didn’t do that good on, it can be hard to find motivation to do anything. Sometimes you just wanna lie down, ignore everyone, and take a very long nap.

6. “Last week I slept for two whole days. Nobody woke me up.”

I’ve never seen more people nap then I have while at college. For some people, napping is a daily occurrence and they have to fit it into their schedule. Naps get you through when you pull and all nighter, or when you just want to forget all of the stressful things you have to do.

7. “May I please be excused to go step in front of a moving train?”

For real. Some weeks at college have me so stressed I just don’t know how to function. Sometimes it feels like you’ll never tackle all of the work you have sitting in front of you. But you will. Eventually. I won’t happen overnight, but it’ll happen.

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.
