Freshman Feelings As Told By 'Friends'

I'm not great at the advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Freshman Feelings As Told By 'Friends'
Warner Bros. Television

College is an adventure, especially the first few months away. But as with any adventure, it comes with ups and downs, and lots of Netflix (okay maybe not every adventure). So, in response to the first semester of college, here are the top times the TV series "Friends" perfectly captured the way you feel.

1. When Ross was fine

I don't know why it's coming out all high and squeaky, because really, I'm fine.

2. Joey trying to speak French

Sometimes you just have to fake it and hope for the best. We've all been there.

3. Joey and his food

When you don't have money, sharing gets difficult. Hiding food becomes a very normal occurrence, and keeping the good snacks that your parents sent you away from everyone else is quite the effort.

4. Phoebe's life plans

Much to the dismay of our families, advisers, and professors. But do we really need to have a plan? It worked out for Phoebe, didn't it?

5. When Monica's advice became too real

It does suck, and we do love it.

6. When Rachel decides she shouldn't make decisions

Sometimes you just really want someone else to make the right choices for you.

7. Ross moving his couch

Trying to rearrange or move in to a room that's too small with all of yours AND your roommate's essentials? We've all considered sawing the furniture in half.

8. Chandler.

At some point, we've all been here. Or, we've been trying to make a joke because we're uncomfortable. Or, we're hopeless and awkward and desperate for love. Basically, we've just all been Chandler.

9. When Joey explains the importance of naps

When you need a nap, you need a nap. Just maybe don't have a nap partner..?

10. When they were on a break

This is exactly why we don't study for finals over Thanksgiving.

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!

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.
