College seems to be a place for us all to become grownups — for us all to leave behind those embarrassing elementary and middle school phases of silly bandz, pads sticking out of our back pocket, going goth for a week...all the good stuff.

And yet — YET — we seem to actually enter a new realm of embarrassing moments. That realm is called: Awkwardness.

The following ten moments are all experiences we inevitably share in our college career:

1. Giving everyone a lap-dance as you try to get to the middle seat of a full row.

2. Slipping hardcore on the street while alone so there is no friend to act as a buffer.

3. Constantly bumping into someone you've hooked up with and never talked to again

4. When you lie about where you're going one night and drunkenly post on your Snap story that you're having the time of your life. You now owe a certain someone an explanation. 

5. Thinking someone likes you because they're the first person who has been super nice to you and compliments you...and they had no idea they were leading you on.

6. A stranger waves to you on your way to class and you wave back to be nice only to realize they were waving at the person behind you.

7. There's a long line and when it's your turn to pay, suddenly you're fumbling around for your ID and you feel the hatred in people's eyes boring into your back.

8. You're walking back from some guy's/girl's dorm at 11 in the morning, sporting your full-on party-wear...and bump into literally everyone you know.

9. You check out your Snap story the morning after a lit night and CRINGE at what your drunk self decided was a good thing to post.

10. You are falling asleep in class to the point of having hypnotic jerks and entering REM sleep...and this was the day you decided to sit front row so your professor has a fantastic view of all of this.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
