College As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'

Suit up? More like yoga pants up.

College As Told By 'How I Met Your Mother'
www. NJ.com

"How I Met Your Mother" gave us nine spectacular seasons and dozens of life lessons and hilarious moments. From "Ducky Tie" to "Robin Sparkles" to "Red Cowgirl Boots" to "Slapsgiving," there is not a question as to why this show lasted for so long and why people still enjoy it today via Netflix. Another reason why this show might have been such a smash was its relatability. It was about five regular friends, going through life one step at a time and dealing with normal problems. Thanks to Ted, Barney, Robin, Lilly, and Marshall, we saw how they dealt with even the most simple struggles.

Here's how I think that the gang would deal with the ultimate struggle: college.


1. When people ask you where you are from:


2. When you try taking composites or a yearbook photo:


3. When you think about going to your 8:30 a.m. class the next morning:


4. Waking up for your 8:30 a.m. class:


5. While you're sitting in your 8:30 a.m. class:


6. When you give a class presentation and get to use PowerPoint:


7. When you do not do too hot on a test you studied really hard for:


8. When midterms are coming up:


9. When your teacher says that this assignment cannot be done in a single night:


10. When you are watching Netflix by yourself on a Friday night:


11. When someone asks how your life is going outside of school:


12. When your cool, older friends take you out but you show your true, lame self:


13. When you have a panic attack in the middle of studying for finals:


14. When you miraculously pass your hardest final by the grace of God:


Just like how Ted got over women like Stella, Marshall got his dream job, and Robin learned how to embrace her teen pop Canadian past, you can get through Monday or a Religion exam. Remember, when in doubt, suit up.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
