Freshman year of college is the most memorable year of your life. What better way to tell the story of college than with gifs of adults playing high school students in what is arguably one of the most watched shows by college students who act like high school students but are trying to be adults?


Walking into your first class

You're a freshman, and you were just a senior and you don't yet know the college food chain. That quickly changes, and you realize you're at the bottom of the totem pole again.


Trying to convince your mother that you're ok

I mean she's only calling, like, fifteen times a day. In the morning. Between classes. At lunch. MOM I'M OKAY I PROMISE!


When you go to your first party

It can get kind of wild and crazy. Drinks are flying everywhere, and people are falling down, and it's so loud you can hardly hear your own thoughts. But it's fun and awkward and memorable.


After your professor posts your grades for your first test


That first test is always the hardest. You don't know what exactly to expect, so don't be disappointed when it isn't the best grade you've ever made.


When you see someone you knew in high school, and they look gooooood

People change a lot that year between high school and college. You might see someone you knew from your town or the town over and realize that they got cute all of a sudden.


After you give your friends a ride home from the bars

Let's face it: drunk college kids are messy. Your car is going to be full of trash, and there's a chance there may be some vomit in there, too. Maybe some blood? Who knows.


When you're trying to make new friends

Those first few weeks you talk to anyone and everyone trying to find who you fit in with. I shared meals with so many people I never really talked to again. This one time, I shared my ice cream with some random guys in my dorm because why not?


Pulling your first all-nighter

It's so frustrating, but it's bound to happen. You'll procrastinate and all your homework and three tests and two papers will fall on a Friday, and you'll have to stay up all Thursday night to get it done.


And realizing that your first year is almost over, but that there are only three more

It ends so soon... The year flies by, and there aren't that many years left and why am I breathing so heavy??? Why am I crying thinking about my impending graduation and having to get a real job??

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
