13 Times This Guy Was Basically Every College Student To Ever Exist
The Daily Dot

A GIF of this guy blinking has gone viral on Twitter. The GIF shows Drew Scanlon, from video game website Giant Bomb’s Unprofessional Fridays, and has existed for a while now. But it has recently recirculated on your Twitter and Facebook feeds and is known as the “white guy blinking” meme. People have been using this guy to talk about their families, love lives, movies, friends, driving, etc. I mean you name it, he's probably reacted to it. I found his reaction to be extremely relatable. So here's my little compilation of times this white guy blinking was basically every college student ever.

1. When you turn in an exam, your classmates start to talk about their answers and none of theirs match yours.

2. Student two months ago: "I'm gonna have a 4.0 this semester and stay on top of things!!!"

Student now:


3. When you (not so surprisingly) receive a low grade on an assignment after not studying or preparing at all for it.

4. When you intend on taking a 30 minute nap but you wake up 3 hours later.

5. Student: looks at clock while writing a paper

Time: 6:30pm

Student: Writes for 3 hours, eats dinner, calls mom

Time: 6:42pm


6. Student: finishes assignment minutes before it's due

Professor: Very insightful, great work

Student:


7. Goes to the rec for the first time all semester and doesn't automatically lose 10 pounds.


8. When you are giving an oral presentation and you hear someone laugh.

9. Student: Spends money

Bank: Takes money spent out of my account

Student:

10. Professor: "Ok projects are due 2 months from now!!"

Student: "I've got plenty of time"

*2 months later*

Professor: "Presentation time!!"

Student:

11. Professor: "The highest score was a 96 and the lowest score was a 52"

Student: "What fool got a 52?!"

*gets test handed back*

Student:


12. *Joins a club to get involved around campus*

Club actually asks me to do something...

13. Student: "I am so gonna fail this exam"

*fails exam*

Student:

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.

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.
