Thoughts Of A College Student Told By The Characters Of 'Friends'

All of us college kids are going through a lot at once and sometimes it all comes crashing down on us. We all have our good days and our bad days. Whether it be about changing your major, studying for exams, going out, or having boy troubles, we are all essentially having the same problems.

Here are some thoughts us students have on a daily basis as told by the characters of everyone's favorite television show, "Friends."

1. When you have a complete meltdown and realize you don't know what you want to do with your major.

Or even worse, you decide you don't even like your major and want to switch out to something completely different. Then you realize you have to fill out an application and be accepted into the new major you decided on.

2. When you've finally come to terms with the fact that you're broke and in dire need of money.

(yes I know this is from "The Office," but I had to put this in).

3. When you realize the only words in your vocabulary are "oh my god" and you seriously need to expand.

OMG I need to stop saying oh my god!!!!

4. When you just want to be loved.

5. When you avoid 8 a.m. classes at all costs.

6. But of course there is always that one class ...

... that only has one section open and it happens to be at 8 a.m. on Fridays. You have no choice but to take it because it is a prerequisite for your major and if you don't take it then you won't be able to take any other classes in your major.

7. ... Yet you still go out every Thursday

8. Then somehow you make it to class the next morning and feel like dying

9. When you somehow get an A on your exam that you didn't even study for.

10. Or if you studied for days but barely scraped a C and your friend that did not study at all got an A.

11. When you realize you have gained at least 10 pounds since school started.

12. When you see a dog on campus

13. When someone you hate shows up at the pregame

14. When your friends start to fight at the party and you are just too drunk to deal with it/go near them.

Or even worse, you start to feel passive aggression and it's super uncomfortable.

15. So you end up making some new friends

... probably in the bathroom

16. When you get a boost of confidence.

17. When your sarcasm is so extreme that you start making loud comments about other people in public

... and you don't realize until afterwards that they probably think you're very rude.

18. When pizza is all you eat.

19. When you are mad at someone

20. When you go to the gym for the first time in a few weeks

21. And when you are just too lazy

"Friends" just gets us college kids.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

University of Akron

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

Anytime you turn a corner the words "corner!" without you even realizing.

People are amazed at how professional you are when speaking to strangers, or on the phone

When we say "table 17 is on a bus", table 17 isn't LITERALLY on a bus.

You understand the frustration of the functions of another existing restaurant when going out to eat.

When you repeat the same spiel 40 times you start to sound like a lifeless robot.

The rush of prime dinner service. The chaos is riveting.

You have "that guy" at a table that makes you want to pull your hair out.

Getting stiffed an entire tip is worse than dealing with a difficult human being.

When you're sitting in a restaurant you don't dare interrupt your servers table presentation.

At the end of the night, you take the first opportunity you get to take a seat.
