12 Times All College Students Are Chandler Bing

Because could college BE any more annoying?

Chandler Bing

As college students, we have certain unspoken obligations to be sarcastic, hardworking and totally full of despair yet still full of fun. Basically, we're all just little Chandler Bings. In other words, we need to complain and be a little blunt with people. Here are just a few times in the day of the life of a college student that this rings truer than true.

1. When you're trying to study in the library, but people decide to have a loud conversation near you instead of doing work.

I mean really, a library is for studying, not socializing!

2. When you're forced to make friends in your class for a group project.

There's nothing worse in college than being forced to socialize with people you wouldn't be talking to outside of class.

3. When your roommate tries to motivate you to go to the gym with them.

And even though you feel guilty for paying for that gym membership and only using it once, you and I both know that Netflix and your bed are way better.

4. When your friends are coupled up and you're still single.

Ah yes, constant reminders that you are single and all your friends have love...that's the best.

5. When you're trying to focus during your 8 a.m.

Trust me, you'll learn to sleep with your eyes open.

6. When your professors assign two essays, an exam and a project all in one week.

Do professors honestly think we're machines that do nothing but work and study? Because that's what it's starting to feel like.

7. When you try to stay up all night to get an essay done.

Once 2 a.m. rolls around, you may as well kiss that coherent conclusion goodbye and save it for the morning.

8. When people ask you what your major is and what you want to do with your degree.

"Oh you know, I could go into this field or maybe I'll change my major...again."

9. When you're trying to sit through a lecture, but it's just too boring.

Sometimes a lecture can just be way too bland, and the job of having to sit through it is much too daunting. Don't worry, no one will notice if you slip out the back door.

10. When you're filling your friend in on what they did the night before.

There's nothing funnier than having to retell the night's events to a friend who doesn't quite remember with a smug grin and endless opportunities for jokes.

11. When the dining hall actually has something good for once.

Edible chicken? A new menu item? Bless the days that the dining halls decide to change it up, and you don't have to dig into your actual wallet for decent food.

12. When you're sick of going out and just want a quiet night in.

Don't get me wrong, parties are great, but sometimes a nice, quiet, relaxing night in is what you really need.

So, even if we do complain more than we should, we're not alone. College is tough, but at least, we're all going through it together. And hey, sometimes just venting or taking a day to relax and binge-watch "Friends" (and anything else Netflix has to offer) can help with a stressful week. College is a time when we all have the chance to become the sarcastic underdog in everyday situations. Could Chandler be more like us?

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
