Fall and Spring Semester...basically the same thing, right? NO!

The difference between these semesters is like night and day. Honestly, these semesters are just as different as our college vs. high school years. Here are 6 differences between fall and spring semester.

1. A nice day

Fall Semester: nobody cares, people aren't outside playing frisbee, and people are in sweatshirts

Spring Semester: everybody is smiling, people are studying outside, everybody is wearing summer attire

2. Syllabus week

Fall Semester: the best week ever and campus seems like a movie, everybody is excited to see their college friends after a long summer

Spring Semester: winter break is over already? I don't feel like going out in the cold...when is spring break?

3. Breaks

Fall Semester: Christmas!! Everybody is cheery and happy to spend time with their families

Spring Semester: you're either one of the few who goes on a beautiful vacation...or one that sits home for a week

4. Dining hall food

Fall Semester: "this isn't that bad....I almost missed this over the summer..."

Spring Semester: this food is GROSS and I am never eating on campus again

5. The gym

Fall Semester: not too crowded because summer is over and it's time to hide in a sweatshirt

Spring Semester: a room of panicked people who gained 5 lbs over winter break and are dire to lose it before "bikini season"...lets not mention everybody that made a New Years Resolution...

6. Classes

Fall Semester: starts off all organized, almost excited to get back on the "grind"

Spring Semester: "I'm still stressed out from last semester's finals....?"

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

because none of us actually do have it all together

University of Vermont

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.

1. If the professor is late by one minute, I'm leaving.

2. Oh crap, that's due TODAY?!

3. Can I nap in here?

4. I wonder what they're serving at the cafeteria.

5. How much does my teacher even get paid?

6. How much will I get paid?

7. This is the longest 50 minutes of my life.

8. Maybe if I call mom, she'll give me money.

9. How much do street performers make anyway?

10. Why am I here? I could be a street performer by now.

11. Oh right, I'm not talented.
