Over nine seasons of How I Met Your Mother, Barney, Robin, Ted, Lily, and Marshall had some wisdom to impart to us all. And by "us," I specifically mean college students. Here are some of their best quotes and moments as applied to the university life.

1. During the first week of school, you asked this question (and "What are you majoring in?") a million times over.

"Do you live in a double?" "Oh my god, are your quadmates nice?" "You are so lucky you have a single!"

2. When your friends try to comfort you after a horrible calc test.

Yup. There's nothing left to do but wait, and then go to professor to beg to round your grade.

3. When your friends are begging you to go back to your dorms at 2am, but you want to stay out.

Ted knows what he's talking about: Nothing good happens after 2am. Yes, that includes studying. Go back to your room and just get some sleep.

4. This is exactly what you said after you found out that your 9am class got cancelled.

Nothing can bring you down! ... Except for the fact that you still have 10am physics lecture.

5. This is how everyone in the room reacted when your roommate yelled, "Midterm grades are up on Blackboard!"

Your internal monologue was going something along the lines of, "Ohmygodohmygod. Should I check? NO. Yes? Oh my god, I have to... but I can't. Oh my god."

6. And after you finally got up the courage to check your grades, you found out you passed chemistry.

The way Marshall felt after becoming an environmental lawyer couldn't come close to how good this feels.

7. When you realize that in college, it's actually okay to eat alone in the dining hall.

What...? It's socially acceptable to sit by yourself? After you got used to the idea, it was kinda nice, though. Having meals by yourself can be pretty relaxing, and you don't have to worry about trying to stuff your face and have a conversation at the same time.

8. When your academic counselor wants to know why you failed 3 of your algebra tests.

Have you tried to finish all those problems in 50 minutes? It's a lot of pressure, okay?!

9. Right after your teacher says, "I postponed the test to next week!", he says...

As if you needed a reminder. Since when has any college test ever been easy? Thanks for killing the vibe, prof.

10. When you had to stage an intervention for your friend who kept sleeping through all their first classes.

"We love you and care about you very much, which is why we're telling you that you have to start setting a second alarm."

11. When you ask your friend for interview advice.

Robin speaks to your soul. How do you even greet an interviewer? Can they tell your smile is fake? Oh my god, they definitelycan.

12. When you realize all of your senior friends are graduating.

NO. This is not okay. You cannot leave me here, especially without you!

13. God, you wish you had known this so much earlier:

Why didn't you realize this freshman year?! Staying in your room with Netflix and chips is hands down the best way to spend your Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Preach, Ted.

14. When you finally work up the confidence to ask your professor a question in class, and they give you a super long response.

How could you not answer the question within those 10 minutes? If that's not bad enough, you're somehow even more confused than before.

15. When you want to get dinner, but your friends say they're busy working out.

How can they pass up food, especially to go exercise and get sweaty? You've literally been waiting for dinner since lunch ended at noon. Six hours is a long time to go without food!

16. And of course, Ted's there to remind you that you're supposed to take chances in college.

Ted's the best at reminding us that we're supposed to try new things and put ourselves out there. That's what college is for!
