When we start to really get into TV shows, we start to bond with the characters. We feel that we really connect to how the characters are feeling, and events that happen in their lives are in perfect relation to ours. When I started watching "How I Met Your Mother," I really started to understand Ted and his situations. Here are 10 gifs to perfectly explain emotions both Ted and I (and probably you) have felt at one time or another.

1. When you're trying to play it cool, but everyone is really testing your patience.

2. When you zone out in class for just a little too long and have no idea what you're doing when you try and do the homework later.

3. The struggles of your suitemate never knocking while you're in the bathroom, leaving a few awkward moments.

4. The panic you get when your classmate tells you that the homework is due tonight at midnight and you haven't even started.

5. Thinking about the night before and trying to convince yourself that it's okay because it's college and none of this will matter when you graduate.

6. When you feel like your life is crashing down around you, but you're trying to keep it together and play it cool.

7. When you're trying to deal with people who are just way too perky in the morning.

8. When you're feeling yourself in your outfit for the night.

9. When you pass a test you didn't study for.

10. When your friend tells you a really juicy piece of gossip.

11. When you know that you're the coolest person in the room.

Thank God for Ted Mosby.
