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?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.

This week, my parents went on vacation and left me with the responsibility of watching the house and the dog. Easy, right? Feed the dog, don’t burn the house down, do whatever you want within reason. I’m not the type to throw wild parties or have a parade of hookups, and my parents know this. The most I do is bring my laptop into the family room and refuse to use headphones.
