The life of a college student is filled with ups and downs, good times and bad, and is ultimately a never-ending rollercoaster.

From starting off as a disoriented newbie to graduating and still not knowing where certain classroom buildings are — the simplest tasks can be a struggle for us college students.

If you haven’t turned half of your white socks pink, set off a fire alarm, or slept past your noon biology class at least once, you’re truly winning.

Hey, you can’t spell college without a few Ls.

And who better to relate to us college students than Ross Geller. Not only is Ross everyone’s favorite character on Friends (with Phoebe a close second), but he undoubtedly makes our weekly battles seem a lot less severe by struggling just as much, if not more, than us.

Thank you, Ross, for always reminding us that we are never alone in this battle we call life.

10 times Ross Geller was every college student ever:

1. When he tried to move a couch up the stairs in his apartment building, frantically yelling and using all of his might


You try carrying luggage, groceries, furniture, etc. up those dormitory stairwells. Even carrying my backpack is a battle.

2. The countless times Ross never let things go

No one holds a grudge like an enraged college student. I still have yet to forgive my freshman year English teacher who gave me a C on my final paper.

3. That time he screwed up his spray tan, went back, and screwed it up again


Certain tasks we just never overcome. Kinda like my Stats 210 class. Didn’t do well on the first project, didn’t do well on the second project, and didn’t do well on the third. You win some you lose some. Or lose most.

4. When he drank too much in Las Vegas and woke up with sharpie all over his face


You never know what you could wake up to or where you could wake up after a Thirsty Thursday. And Sunday Scaries are very much a thing.

5. When he had a mental breakdown after his boss stole his sandwich


Don’t. Touch. My. Food. EVER. Food is a precious commodity in college. Every man for himself on this one.

6. When he dressed as a “Holiday Armadillo” to teach his son about Hanukkah


We’ve all had that one assignment that we go above and beyond for, no matter how big of fools we make out of ourselves. I’d dress up as an armadillo if it guaranteed me an A in a class.

7. Speaking of parenting, when he sang “Baby Got Back” to baby Emma in order to get her to laugh


Like Ross, college students truly have no filters. Maybe I didn’t do so well on those stats projects due to the fact my professor heard me say the f-word once.

8. When he started speaking in a British accent in front of his class


Not only does he speak with this accent out of nervousness, he was then forced to continue speaking with this accent. Let’s face it, we’ve all pretended to be something we’re not in college.

9. As if his tanning experience wasn’t bad enough when he decided to get his teeth whitened and the results were disastrous


You may be thinking that your teeth can never be too white, but oh yes, they can. As college students, we’re never afraid to try new things — yet unfortunately, they don’t always go as planned.

10. When he can’t get off his skin-tight leather pants, mid-date


He calls Joey in a panic once he discovers the pants are stuck, only resulting in a bigger problem. It’s like when the dryer stops working and the house starts to smell of smoke- so you frantically call your BFF or any friend who might be able to help in any way, only to find no solution or increase the intensity of the problem.

Some messes we just have to clean up ourselves.

We love you Ross Geller.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
