29 Reasons Why We Are All Chandler Bing

Could he be any more relatable?

Chandler Bing: '90s legend, king of sarcasm, actual goofball, couch potato, sweetheart, low-key scumbag...or, as I like to call him, the Universal Friends Character.

Whether you'd like to admit it or not, we are all Chandler Bing. His jokes and his out-there persona are entirely relatable for all types of people, especially the average college student. Even if you identify as more of a Monica or more of a Joey, you probably still have inherent Chandler-esque qualities.

Don't believe me? Here are 29 times we have all been Chandler Bing.

1. When it comes to food

2. When your friends ask for help

3. Awkward Situations

4. Going out with hot friends...

5. ...and you're not sure how they do it

6. Trying to take a cute "candid"

7. It's a hard knock life for the single and lonely

8. Hey, but at least you have your Tinder matches

9. Exercising

10. Not having a heart or any emotions, really

11. Lecture Classes

12. Saying dumb things

13. Clubbing

14. When your mom doesn't stop talking

15. Thinking about the future

16. Controlling your nosy siblings

17. When nobody responds to you in the group chat

18. After your crush flirts with you

19. Talking to someone you hate

20. You're really just not a "people-person"

21. Sarcasm is your first language

22. Feelings are just not your thing...

23. ...but sometimes you can't help it

24. At least you can make yourself laugh

25. Lazy days are the best days

26. You know you're independent

27. You can give less of a crap at any given time

28. Trying to avoid confrontation is a talent

29. And despite all your quirks and flaws, you still have friends that love you

13 Thoughts College Students Have On The First Day Of Class

Syllabus week doesn't exist.

Hunter College

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1276

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
