The Old Spice Guy: Relating to College Students Since 1934
LA Times Blog

College is a time of our lives where we try to "find ourselves."These four years are spent engaging, questioning, learning, and exploring things about the world and ourselves. A lot of people really struggle with this part, because... there is just so much to learn.

I mean, how are we supposed to make these HUGE decisions about our life and who we want to be when literally just a few years ago we had to have a "hall pass" to go to the bathroom? Are you a morning person? Night owl? A kind of person who HAS to take three naps a day to pull through? So many questions. Don't we all just want something that helps describe us?

No need to look any further, my friends.

The Old Spice Guys might seriously be soulmates with all college students. They face similar challenges, yet handle it with such style and...swagger.

Don't see why? Well...

Going on that first date?


You see that really attractive person in Chem lab? The Old Spice Guy can relate, so follow his lead.


FINALS WEEK?

It's okay, the Old Spice Guy has been there too. His brain couldn't take anymore of Calc II either!


He likes to make miracles happen, JUST LIKE YOU!

That "A" in your literature class is almost like making beagles appear in a guitar!


Growing facial hair is right up his alley.

Guys, look no further for the perfect mustache. He's got you beat, bro.


Gym.


Spring break body... achieved. This is what we pretty much all expect out of our campus REC outings, right?


Feeling turned around about career decisions?

The Old Spice Guy can't seem to get it right either! But look on the bright side, he's on a horse on the beach, just like how you're at a wonderful university getting an education. Even if you're riding backwards, you're still doing an epic job.


He pretends to be smart as well.

"Yeah, I totally have a 3.8."


Finishing the last final of the semester.

.

Sweet, sweet victory.


Do people think you're just weird?

"Same." Luckily, there are plenty of us in college!

Did you relate to any of these? Well, that means you're just as awesome as the Old Spice Guy, who is PRETTY AWESOME.

It's a pain to learn but it's definitely worth it in the end.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving.

Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
