Life as a Temple Student Explained in 24.5 Gifs

1. "Please, God, let that noise have just been a firework."

2. Hearing freshmen talk about how unfair a 3- to 5-page research paper is (also, hearing most things freshmen say).

3. Buying your own coffee maker because you'd probably be celebrating your next birthday and still be in line at Saxby's or Starbucks.

4. Screaming internally at people who don't seem to know how to put one foot in front of the other on the sidewalk.

5. No good morning text from bae? It's alright. You'll most likely get one from TUAlert.

6. There's a good chance the elevators in some buildings are broken the day you run late for your class on the top floor.

7. There's also a good chance none of the printers in your buildings work on the morning you're printing a paper for the class you have in twenty minutes.

8. Richie's. No explanation needed.

9. Stopping to pet every dog you see on Liacouras Walk, even if you're still late for class.

10. Raging all-nighters at Club Tech.

11. Awkwardly digging around in your wallet and bags for change to donate to the many can-shakers at Alumni Circle.

12. Deciding whether to upset your stomach by eating dining hall food or to upset your bank account by buying good food.

13. Becoming an expert at dodging bodies as you walk down city blocks trying to text.

14. The most insane species of squirrels you've ever seen in your life.

15. Knowing sorority girls have the best food fundraisers.

16. Saying goodbyes to your roommates before you walk outside in the winter in case you blow away in this wind tunnel and they never see you again.

17. Looking at the Temple Snapstory like, "My snap was bomb yet these snaps were chosen over mine?"

18. Your dorm doesn't have air conditioning in the summer but it's OK, all of your classrooms are below freezing.

19. Frat houses aren't mansions. They're actually the farthest thing from mansions. So, so far.


20. LOL if you're trying to drive through campus during class hours because the parade of students crossing the street LITERALLY never ends.

21. Getting frustrated having to deal with administrative stuff because you're probably going to wait half a lifetime just to get to talk to someone.

22. "Admiring" the construction (admiring = what deadly chemicals am I breathing in???).

23. The little old preacher man, and other people trying to hand you religious reading material at the Bell Tower.

24. Knowing that despite all the crazy stuff you experience on campus, you'd never change a thing. Thank God I'm a Temple Owl.

24.5. Always letting it be known: WE BEAT PENN STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
