The Sims has always been my favorite game throughout my childhood and is still my favorite game to this day. If you have never heard of or played any of The Sims games, here is how the game goes. In the game, you make and customize your own characters that are called "sims" and control their lives however you wish. You can choose or make houses for your sims, give them their own careers, and even have them start their own family. With the freedoms that The Sims gives its players, the possibilities for your sims are limitless.

For those of us who have played The Sims and are huge fans of the franchise, we know how ridiculously similar our sims lives are to our own. As college students, college can get pretty stressful at times, so I like to use The Sims as some sort of escape. However, I sometimes begin to see my sims life reflect my own. The similarities range from the everyday struggles I endure on campus to the little happy moments that occur out of the blue. Although our reality is obviously very different from the ones our sims live their lives in, there are those occasional moments where we can relate to them as well.

Here are 6 sim-related gifs that accurately portray my life as a college student:

1. When I am walking to class in the morning:

I know my legs are moving, but why does it feel like they aren't carrying my anywhere?!

2. My reaction when I see dogs on campus:

Although I am more of a cat person, seeing dogs on campus always gives me a burst of energy and brightens my day.

3. When I try to take care of all of my responsibilities at once:

It can be difficult trying to balance your responsibilities and your needs while shooting for a 4.0 GPA.

4. How I feel when I decide to treat myself with pizza:

Pizza is one of my favorite things to eat during a rough day of classes.

5. When I walk into a crowded lecture hall:

Classes being canceled always calls for a little happy dance.
