College is often a juggling act with what can fit in your schedule. Between classes, homework, and clubs, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. One way to de-stress is to take a Netflix break and watch a comedy like "Friends," but sometimes there is not even any time for a "Friends" fix. For those of us studying and not binge-watching, here are 12 times the cast of "Friends" captured what it is like to be an overwhelmed college student.
1. It is an enormous effort to make intelligent comments in your 8 a.m. classes.
Waking up is only half the battle.
2. Your uncertainty about your major, summer plans and job prospects is constantly pointed out.
3. When
winter hits, you tread the fine line between warmth and style.
4. When you answer a professor’s question wrong in class, you feel the need to overcompensate the next time.
But maybe wait until a question is actually asked.
5. When a professor assigns a project or exam for the first day back from break:
There is always that over-the-top professor.
6. When people are talking in the quiet section of the library, Ross’ “keep it down” does not seem so ridiculous anymore.
A quiet library is sacred.
7. You always say you will go to bed early, but inevitably . . .
8. Thus you have mastered how to nap in public places, from class to the library.
This skill is invaluable.
9. You are tired of being asked to join every club, activity, or fundraiser on campus.
10. You are always in for a surprise at the dining halls.
Stay away from the suspicious meat dishes.
11. Socializing can be hard.
Some days you feel your inner Chandler more than others.
12. Ultimately, college is where you have made some of your closest friends – all who are just as stressed as you are.
