Part four of five.

College Explained By "Friends"

Here's part four in the "Friends" series! We've been talking about just how similar college life is to the TV show "Friends." These are some more examples of just how alike our lives actually are.

1. After this week, there will be four weeks until the start of winter break! Can you believe it? Monica understands. We always knew you were our favorite, Mon.

2. This word has become far too familiar to some of us...as well as that good ole toilet in the bathroom.

3. Pheobe knows all too well what it's like for her friends to make plans and not include her, telling her they're doing something else. It's all good, though. You're going to make the Dean's list and they aren't.

4. So, There's the age old problem of deciding between going to class because your instructor said it was important for you to be there, or skipping that class to do homework for another class, that's essential to do so you don't fall behind. Issues like these give you a panic attack, and just...

5. When you first set foot on campus, you've got to admit, you were taken back by all of these pretty boys. New environment, new people, what's not to love? In fact, the boy at the registration table may have just stopped your heart.

6. You mumble this phrase over and over as you wake up ten minutes before your 8 a.m.:

7. Oh look, young Brad Pitt. If 'I hate you' is a phrase that really means 'I love you' at a drunken frat party, WE HATE YOU TOO BRAD!

8. There are times when you're under extreme amount of pressure, probably from finals or midterms, when some of your friends may think it's okay to laugh, joke and be loud, and you wonder...

But don't worry! we'll love you after our mental breakdown!

9. Has anyone ever gone to class, and then the professor told you to get out the homework that was due that you forgot was due?

No? just me?

10. And finally, Here are a collection of gifs with a Thanksgiving theme, seeing that Thanksgiving is three weeks away. Can you smell the turkey yet?! I love Thanksgiving. I think I need to invest in some maternity pants for the big day. I mean, they give, stretch and they allow for maximum food storage.

When you FINALLY sit down at your plate and look at it, you grin. You can defeat it. You're like...Thanksgiving royalty!

And then comes that time, about halfway through your second plate, when you think you can do it. You've tried pacing yourself, you're confident, and then...this happens.

Well, maybe next year.

Hope y'all enjoyed this week! See you next week with the epic conclusion!

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?

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.
