6 Pennsylvania Colleges If They Were "Friends" Characters

"Friends" has been a popular show since the 1990s, and it has yet to simmer down. Friends is my personal favorite TV show; I had seen every episode an upward of 12 times before it came out on Netflix. I have grown to love these characters and wish they were my friends too. I am now a junior in college and I have been starting to notice some correlations between college and "Friends". I go to school in Pennsylvania, a state filled with colleges and universities, which give a variety of different lifestyles. PA schools would fit in great as a Friends cast so I decided to make it one.

1. Chandler Bing - West Chester University

I am going to start out with my favorite school and favorite character in the show. WCU is a school unlike any other. It gets underrated a little bit, similar to Chandler, but once you start to get to know them a whole new side comes out. West Chester and Chandler are both the jokers of the group; even with important events (i.e. Trump visiting, teachers striking, preachers harassing students) students at West Chester have a way of making a joke out of it.

2. Joey Tribbiani - Bloomsburg University

While Bloomsburg might lack some of the brains, they definitely make up for it in the party scene just like Joey. Joey is always down for anything whether it involves alcohol, food, or anything else really. If you ask a Bloom student to join you in something crazy, they will definitely be in. Joey and Bloom are both hard to hate- they stick to their own thing and they have a damn good time doing it.

3. Phoebe Buffay - Temple University

Phoebe has a very interesting past, she was homeless on the streets of New York City for a few years and would definitely be able to put up with Temples antics. She is quirky and peaceful but she still doesn't take shit from anyone, just like Temple. She walks to the beat of her own drum, dresses to express herself, and can sing and play the guitar and if that isn't Temple, I don't know what is.

4. Rachel Green - Penn State University

Penn State and Rachel are both fully aware that people do not like them sometimes, but they couldn't care less. They both tend to put a little more effort into their appearance and probably care about themselves more than the rest of them do. Even if appearance comes first, they are both there when you need them. Rachel is a great friend and Penn State does amazing charity work; both undeniable regardless of opinions.

5. Ross Geller - University of Pennsylvania

Ross and UPenn are the brains of the group. Ross is a paleontologist and professor with a PhD; the only people who would be interested in paleontology probably go to UPenn. They are the rationale of the group and also the most successful.

6. Monica Geller - Villanova University

Unfortunately nicknamed "Villanofun", both Villanova and Monica are the ones to bring the group back to reality. Monica and Villanova can be the sticklers and tend to stay to what they know; but when they let loose, they do it right (i.e. the night of the basketball championship).

PA is filled with schools that are perfect for everyone; these schools just so happen to be perfect for "Friends". I think it's time for all of us to have our own show now, too.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
