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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
