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:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
