Chandler Bing: Basically Every College Student Ever
Sarcasm Society

Ask anyone and everyone who has been. College is hard. It's easy, confusing, fun, and overall, it is extremely emotional. Much like the "Friends" series, college is a journey you will never forget. And who better to explain it than the one and only Chandler Bing.

Experiencing college teaches you many new talents. You might not have even thought some were humanly possible yet.

Getting up and going to your early morning class does not always mean you are functioning properly or even aware of some of the things you say, which could not turn out so well for you.

Stressing over any big paper we have to write or any exam is terrible. Ultimately, we end up hating ourselves and wishing we never took the class in the first place.

The best thing, by far is when you have a lecture class. Those classes never really take attendance. It's practically like you are invisible, which in this case is a good thing.

Being in college, it's important to set aside a "me day." That's the only way you will remain sane throughout the week. Your "me day" is supposed to allow you to relieve some of the unwanted stress that builds up throughout the week.

Sometimes you can get lucky with the food you'll have in your cafeteria. When you are lucky, it seems like all you do is eat whether it's the pasta bar or the cheesecake that always seems to be calling your name. The freshman 15 is real, but it tastes so good.

Depending on your major, the majority of your classes can end up being on the same day. Which means you get no breaks long enough to take your daily naps anymore.

If you haven't declared a major yet, then it may feel like you are just sort of lost. Don't worry, you still have some time left.

Classes. You either love them or you hate them. No matter if your classes are big or small, making friends can be hard when you don't belong to a fraternity or a sorority. It turns into a situation where you seem to be marketing yourself for friends.

Along with your classes being hard, your professor could be "that teacher" that loves to assign big papers over break. To them, "we were on a break" means absolutely nothing.

Lastly as a college student, everyone tells you just how much fun living in the dorms is, but they fail to tell you just how thin the walls are, which then becomes extremely unlucky if you live on a floor that is filled with many inconsiderate people.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

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?
