17 Phases The UVA 4th Year Who Didn't Get Duke Tickets Goes Through

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK-TucMCjGs

1. Panic when everyone else is getting their tickets

"I'm group 1, what are you?"

2. Refresh your email over and over and over

media.giphy.com

When the new email is just a stupid coupon...

3. Convince yourself that the system just has a glitch

UVA email is just slow sometimes... that's probably it...

4. Stare at the email informing you that the world has ended

media.giphy.com

Sit in shock for approximately 10 minutes trying not to cry.

5. Tell your friends to get sympathy

Send a snapchat to everyone you know because this is monumental news.

6. ... just for them to respond in a way that signals that they DO NOT understand your pain

media.giphy.com

They are NOT reacting nearly as passionate as they should be.

7. Get angry

media.giphy.com

THE WORLD IS NOT JUST.

8. Do they not understand that I'm a fourth year?

media.giphy.com

This is my last chance to see Duke... I deserve this! I worked so hard!

9. So maybe if I get hit by a bus, they'll give me a Duke ticket instead of free tuition?

Sees a bus in the distance... steps in road.

10. Try to convince yourself that this won't matter in 10 years

media.giphy.com

... unsuccessfully.

11. First years with hardly any sabre points got tickets?!

media.giphy.com

Excuse me? They're not even real fans.

12. Determine which organ to sell on the black market

Will a kidney get me a ticket? How about a sliver of my liver?

13. Wallow in self pity

Wake me up on February 10th.

14. Put Zion as my lock screen in spite

I hope we lose so everyone else can feel my pain (not really, but also really)

15. Any time someone asks how you are, yell, "I didn't get a Duke ticket!"

media.giphy.com

Don't talk to me right now...

16. To rub the salt into my wounds, find out that College Gameday is coming, too

Yippee...

17. Boycott and leave Charlottesville all together

media.giphy.com

I'm just going to leave Cville and distance myself from the source of my sadness

It's like the college basketball equivalent of missing the Rapture...

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"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!
