The First Week of School as Told by Chandler Bing

The first week of classes only seems to get rougher the older you get. Remember freshmen year when we actually had a syllabus week? Yeah, me either. Now the slides go from syllabus straight to lecture one and it's too much to take at once. Add in the awkwardness that is ice breaker games they still make us play, and we're all just amazed we made it to the end of the first week. But if anyone understands being awkward and uncomfortable, it's Chandler Bing. "Friends" resident funny guy totally gets what it's like to suffer through the first week back at school.

"Tell us your name and a fun fact about yourself."

Icebreakers are the absolute worst.

Professors thinking it's okay to ask about your career goals.

The time after college is a scary place we don't like to think about.\

Seeing all the freshmen having fun during syllabus week, but you already have mountains of homework.

Who thinks it's okay to assign 4 chapters of reading the first week of school?

"You will not be graded on attendance"

Because let's be real, taking attendance is so high school.

Trying to survive your 8 AM.

Why on Earth did you think this would be a good idea?

When the slide goes from Syllabus to Lecture One.

When it's finally Friday.

Congrats! You survived another first week of school! Good luck with the rest of the semester!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
