Even geniuses are relatable.

22 Times 'The Big Bang Theory' Described Typical College Moments
Erik Homberger

Every once in a while, a show comes around that you can connect with more than any other. You want to be friends with the characters. You want to live their lives. You laugh with them. You feel emotional with them. No, I am not talking about "Game of Thrones." I think there may be a few issues if you watch that and say, "Yup, that's me."

For me, that show is "The Big Bang Theory." I may not be working towards becoming a physicist, an engineer, or a neurobiologist, but that does not mean I do not understand where Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, Howard, Amy, Bernadette, and Penny are coming from. Having just finished season nine, I have found that there are several moments in the show that one can relate to experience that most college students have probably had during their adventurous four years.

The excitement when animals come to campus

Seeing a guy try facial hair when he really should not have facial hair

"Let's go dancing!"

The dreaded lock-out

When most people in the class failed an open-note exam

Frustratingly sick when you have class and work to do

"Smile for your ID!"

"Are you ready for your exam today?"

When the professor writes, "Well done!" on your paper

When your are desperate to receive mail


When you never left your bed because you were watching movies all day


"You know you were supposed to email your paper and not print it, right?"

"There is no way you can finish that in time."

Meeting your professor for the first time

When group members don't pull their weight

Showing up to class in your Halloween costume

When someone complains that they have a million better things to do

What happens when you have your morning coffee

When you don't think you were productive enough

Coming back from summer vacation and the people you thought you knew changed their personalities and looks drastically

When you learn an interesting fact and say it all the time to sound intelligent

Waking up disoriented when a fire alarm goes off

Did any of these moments relate to you? Can you think of any more experiences "The Big Bang Theory" connects to? Let me know!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
