As college students, there are times during the semester when everything seems to be going south, "Everywhere" we go everyone expects so much from us. We are constantly "Under Pressure" from our professors and we ask as ourselves, "Should I Stay or Should I Go," and our parents are like "Beat it." If you love yourself, you had better study hard and get that degree and you're like, "What's Love Got to Do With It?" At this point in your life, you are probably having a "Total Eclipse of the Heart," nothing seems to be working out. Dear friends, I want to tell you to keep pushing hard and "Don't Stop Believing." One day, with determination and hard work, you will make it.

After a few years in college, you realize that you're still single. While all your friends are going on dates you just sit in your room singing "I Want to Know What Love Is." Dear friend, have "Faith." Your Mr. or Mrs. Right is on the way.

College is over, and you go out into the real world and try to find a job. You realize that "Everybody Wants To Rule The World." Just remember to keep calm, trust in God and then rule the world. Just kidding, you don't have to rule the world. You just need to figure out where you fit in and do your best to make an impact.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

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.

Bob's Burgers
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.

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.
