As a college student, my days are kind of hectic. In order for me to share my hectic experience with you, I decided I would write about my typical day ... in gifs.

Waking Up ... It's A Nightmare.


No one wants to get up for an 8:00 a.m. and no one dreads it more so than me. I literally have to fight with myself to actually get out of bed and go to class, but that's a part of the college experience.

Getting Ready For The Day...

I hate when I just woke up at 7:00 a.m. and I have to rush to brush my teeth, shower, fix my hair, pack my bag, and get dressed for class. Not to mention actually get to class on time. All in an hour! If I oversleep, then my entire day is off track.

Trying to Stay Awake in Class...

It's almost like teachers don't understand the struggle of waking up so early in the morning. Coffee might help them but it does not help me!

Nap Time!

College students tend to have the shortest "naps" ever. Sometimes we take 20 minute naps just in order for us to stay awake in the next class. Thank goodness for the short breaks in between classes. Keeping college students awake since forever.

Lunch Time (aka Social Time)

Lunch is like the perfect time to just chill out. You may wonder why I didn't include breakfast. It may be the most important meal of the day, but it's not worth losing sleep overt. I don't wake up on time for that, so lunch usually happens around 11 a.m. for me. I meet a bunch of my friends in the cafeteria and we sit around and talk. It is the best time of the day. We have political debates, we reveal who is a fashion criminal that day, we talk about how gross the food is even though we are eating it anyway, people watch, and we even study together sometimes. Lunch is usually the best time of the day.

Afternoon Classes

Afternoon classes aren't that bad, but if you are like me, it can be kind of hard to stay awake in a p.m. class.

Dinner

Dinner is pretty much a repeat of lunch except we are all eating much quicker in order to get back to our rooms and do homework, study, shower and sleep.

Do Homework, Study, Etc.

Doing homework and studying are two things I quickly get done when I get back to my room after dinner. The reason for this I know I have to get up early the next day so I can't stay up all night studying!

Getting Ready for Bed

This is the best part of the entire day ... the part when I can relax. I take a nice shower, brush my teeth, clean my room from the chaos of the day, and I watch television so I can remain sane.

Bedtime

This is the time of the day where I lay down and peacefully wait for sleep. This being the most peaceful and reflective time of day.

Do It All Again ...

And it all starts over! It's definitely worth it, though. College has been the best time of my life and I am excited about my next two years of this cycle on repeat. Everyday has a different version so it never gets old!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
