Adam Sandler, America's beloved comical actor, has brought us many classic films in the past two decades. Between Billy Madison (1995) and Blended (2014), several memorable scenes from Sandler's films perfectly defined what it means to be a college student.
1. Getting roasted by your friends.
Having friends in college (like everyone does) also means you have to take everyone's great sense of humor with a grain of salt. Or not.
2. Being hangry all the time.
Why should you care if you've had an entire pizza, all the snacks in the pantry, Chick-Fil-A twice in one day and two pieces of chocolate cake? Food is the only thing that makes you happy.
3. Passing an exam you think you failed.
So maybe the exam was in an intro-level class meant to boost your GPA. It's not going to keep you from being proud.
4. Failing an exam you know you passed.
Shut up professor, I pay your salary, and I know I passed that midterm.
5. Waking up after a party.
All the water in the world can't help that throbbing headache. Sorry mom, I'll try better next time.
6. Making plenty of mistakes.
Asking out the person WAY out of your league? Check. Going to the aforementioned party in #5? Check. Using all of your absences in the first two weeks? Double check.
7. Having a mid-life crisis in your twenties.
Dealing with the overwhelming realization that the United States job market is at its most competitive point in history and that you may not get hired working the job you are spending $30,000 a year to get a degree in and not being completely sure you want to do that job for your future has a way of taking its toll on your emotions.
8. When mom sends money for groceries.
Push the Ramen noodles back and make room for real food, like Cheez-Its and Doritos.9. Having a wingman (wingwoman) that ruins your chances.
We've all had that moment when the person you trust most to make you look good embarrasses you in front of your future husband or wife.10. Trying to make Mondays not suck.
It goes about as well as Paul Crewe guarding Deacon Moss in The Longest Yard.11. When your crush who's in your class doesn't reply.
Accurate.
12. All those times when you say something and sound like your parents.
"Somebody else could pitch in around here for once and help me clean this place!" Oh gosh, I'm becoming my mother!
13. Doing everything you can to get extra credit at the end of the semester.
Except you struggle to do one push-up. Maybe getting your professor coffee is a better option...
14. Hearing someone else say their college is better.
At the end of the day, as much as we may hate going to classes and #adulting, there is no other place we would rather do it. Anyone who says otherwise can get ready for a fight.
