12 Ways Joey Tribbiani Was a Mid-Spring Semester College Student

All students can relate to the mid-semester feeling of misery. Assignments begin to pile up, work becomes overbearing, club activities seem non-stop and we all begin to slowly lose motivation for almost everything. Spring break comes as a small moment of relief, teasing us with the pleasure of no responsibilities and relaxation. The mid-semester drag might be rough fall semester, but it becomes even worse during the spring, especially when warmer weather starts to poke its head back into our lives and summer vacation creeps closer and closer with every paper we write and tear we shed.

Soon enough, we find ourselves pursuing different methods to make the pain more tolerable and to distract ourselves from the never-ending workload. Picking up a yoga class might help, as might taking an extra nap during the week or even taking a hike through nature. No matter what coping method you use, one thing is certain: Joey Tribbiani from "Friends" is one of the few people who can relate to us in nearly any situation.

The lovable character from the popular show is a college student in many ways - broke, always hungry, slightly naive, thirsty for love and most of all, full of energy. Joey's sweet disposition, in more ways than one, is the perfect example of the way the majority of students feel by the time the middle of spring semester rolls around: tired, ready for change and broke.

1. Relaxing on spring break like:

2. Coming back to school and realizing how much you need to do.

3. When you and your friends are all out of money and are willing to eat anything that's under $10.

4. When you are willing to do anything for money.


5. When you "accidentally" miss your 8 a.m. for the third time.

6. When professors start to talk about preparing for finals.

7. When you and your friend manage to finish one assignment.

8. Trying to motivate your friends when they start to lose hope.

9. When professors schedule homework over the weekend.

10. When trying to look nice for class is no longer an option so you do the best you can to be somewhat presentable.

11. Coming to terms with your freshman 15.

12. When you still manage to pull the semester off with good grades.

Thank you Joey, for truly always understanding.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
