A Day In The Life Of A College Student, As Told by Barney Stinson

College is rough. Sometimes the only thing that can get you through the day is watching your favorite show and laughing at how relatable the characters are. No one better describes any struggling college student than Barney Stinson from "How I Met Your Mother." Here are a college student's struggles throughout the semester as told by the man, the myth, the legen — wait for it — dary.

1. When your 7:00 a.m. alarm goes off and you think you can sleep for five more minutes.


2. When you sleep for more than five minutes and end up having 10 minutes to get ready for class.


3. When you get to class and the professor hands you a pop quiz.


4. Then she announces it's a group quiz and your friend is in the class.


5. ...But neither of you read the chapter...


6. But you bullshit enough answers to pass.


7. And all you can do is thank God.


8. When it's lunchtime and you and your friends need to decide where to go.


9. When you pick the place and it works out perfectly.


10. When your friend and her significant other decide to have some alone time, but you're lonely and want to hang too.


11. When you're in class and that snobby smart kid needs to prove, once again, that he's smarter than everyone.


12. But then the quiet girl who actually is smarter than everyone else has the best comeback.


13. When your friend is doing something stupid and you can't help but watch.

14. When you get sick before a weekend of parties.


15. When you're about to ask a girl out and you get a last-minute prayer from your wingman.


16. When the girl rejects you and you need to reevaluate your life.


17. When you acquire money, and it's been so long that you forgot what it's supposed to look like.


18. When you're at a party and your friend is blowing it.


19. When you leave the room after an exam.


20. When you're running on two hours of sleep and a lot of Redbull.

21. When you're five minutes into class.


22. When you need to pray for your professor to bump your 64 to a 94.


23. When you hear a juicy secret and just can't keep it to yourself.


24. When you and the squad 'bout to hit the club and you gotta look fresh.


25. When you all roll up together.


26. When you thought you could pull an all nighter, but you can't and you struggle through the next day.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
