College life is kind of nuts: bad hookups, 30-page papers, ragers at 10 am on a Sunday. Though it's no NYC living, college has its many moments. Here are some of the best and worst, as illustrated by the crew of "Friends."

1. The One With the Laundry Day:

The quintessential, "I have nothing else to wear and probably won't leave this building today" look.

2. The One With the Formal:

Chugging that mixed drink during your 2-hour bar reservation to make the most of that $20 cover is the epitome of formal SZN.

3. The One With the Spring Break Vacation:


Long gone are the days of family vacations. College is a time for friends to chip in together and spend all of their money on a boozy week that you probably won't be telling your parents--let alone anyone--about.

4. The One With the One Night Stand:

It happens. And the next day...

5. The One With the Walk of Shame:

Whether too small or too large, that outfit you're wearing Sunday morning at 6 am across campus? Definitely not yours.

6. The One With the Halloween Party:

Some people go all-out, some people took five minutes to throw something together, but one thing is for sure: nothing is scarier on Halloween than a college party.

7. The One Where You Go Home for Winter Break:

Bubble baths, homemade food, cozy fireplaces, galore!

8. The One With the Intramural Sports Team:

So you ~may~ have peaked athletically in high school, but you can still show those classmates what you've got on the ultimate frisbee field (which is, admittedly, not a lot).

9. The One With the Liberal Arts Hipster Dude:

There's one in every philosophy class. This round-rimmed, flannel, and graphic tee wearing stud will both make you misunderstand Plato and break you in the process.

10. The One With the Difficult Reading Assignment:


300 pages about the evolution of the modern prison system? No thank you, sir.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
