Zoey 101, Ned's Declassified, Drake & Josh, iCarly, the list goes on for our generation that had some awesome TV shows from Nickelodeon. Besides being wacky and unpredictable, these shows actually had some great moments that far surpass these modern shows like Henry Danger and such.
As a college student, these moments from these classic Nickelodeon shows can easily relate to our current situations as young adults, whether it's college, romance, and even the dreaded finals week.
1. Your roommate being loud as hell in the morning
They 'say' they're quiet in the morning, but then they're not. Get it together, folks, we're all trying to survive college together!
2. When a friend/significant other asks if you care but you're really cold on the inside
You don't know how to communicate your love to your friends or significant other, but at the same time you care more about yourself than them...it's just apart of life, I guess.
3. Eating breakfast after a night out on the town
Is there any real explanation for this? Thanks for the emotion here, Naked Brothers Band.
4. When that one professor you hate makes a terrible joke and you're done with their BS
They don't make sense in lecture, they are tough graders, and they always assign homework over Thanksgiving or a long weekend. You hate them, like a brutal dislike of them for those reasons. We can cut the tension with a knife, basically.
5. Finals week, basically
You have five straight days of finals that week and have not even studied for them. I don't think Ned has any tips about cramming for five exams in that short amount of time.
6. Discovering something new in Geography of the US 101
We get it, you're not that smart in Geography. For the longest time, I thought Indiana was next to California. We also know this is a Gen Ed so we don't expect you to be the A-plus kid. D's get degrees!
7. Getting ready to go out be like
You really want to be the best-dressed of your friend group every time, so when they say, "You look fine", just tell them what Alex told Nat on Naked Brothers Band.
8. Seeing your ex at the bar while you're out with your new significant other
JUST ORDER A FEW MORE DRINKS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE OK, REPEAT, EVERYTHING WILL BE OK.
9. Giving a presentation in class that you didn't prepare that well for but try to be professional
You basically read off the PowerPoint, which is typically going to happen when it's for a class that you do not care about as much as the others.
10. When you toss something in the trash while laying in bed and it goes in (because you had a rough day because of school, work, and that date being canceled that night)
This is the cycle of things that occur each and every day, so when you toss that last can of Mountain Dew in the recycling bin while in bed, that just shows that it's the little victories that count.
I miss these shows, and deep down they taught me a lot about growing up and stuff. Zoey 101 prepared me for college life, Drake & Josh exemplified how families come together, and Jerry Trainor taught me that being two insane characters on two different shows is acutally successful. What did these shows teach you about life?
