Your first year of college can be a scary thing. A lot of doubts, a lot of debating on dropping out and becoming a stripper, and a lot, A LOT of 3 a.m. pizza while Netflixing. One of my favorites over the course of this year was "Friends," who coincidentally seem to have faced the same struggles us first-year college students have. Let's take a look.

Getting to college and wondering if you'll ever make friends so you're just like:

Realizing you have no idea how to do basic adulting like doing laundry so you end up like:

Going to all the club info-meetings just for the free food and declaring your love like:


Wondering how you'll ever make it through your 8 a.m. like:

Being amazed with what your advisers can do for you like:

Desperately trying to make the word count on your million-word essay so you'll literally do anything like:

After you take your first midterm and realize the professor doesn't curve the tests so you curse him for all of eternity like:

Seeing all the college guys for the first time and you're just like:

And when you finally talk to one and you're all excited like:

But then you realize he's got other girls so you're all like:

And then wondering why you always make the worst decisions (see above) so you feel sorry for yourself like:

And also like staying up until 3 a.m. when you have an early class, and then complaining about how tired you are all day, but doing it again that night anyway so you're just like:


Getting home for Thanksgiving break and asking yourself why your professors assigned homework and you try to make sense of it like:

Suffering through your biology class learning about oligosaccharides like:

Trying to understand your calculus and finally getting it much, much later than everyone but when you finally get it and you're all like:

When you get home for Christmas and all your family members want to talk about how school is going but you just brush it off like:

And then spring break rolls around and you have more homework so you question your entire life like:

When your family is asking why you look so much "rounder" in all your Facebook photos and you're just like:

When it's the last week of school and you have two exams, a project, a paper, and a speech and you just react like:

When you're done with all your finals and you kinda regret not studying but then you realize how much work that would've been and you're just like:

And enjoying all your time with your awesome, new friends that you love so much like:

And realizing you have three more years with them so you celebrate like:

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
