If there's one thing we can't get enough of, it's the classic Ben Wyatt stare. His raised eyebrow, confused expression, and honest reaction to everyday life perfectly sums up each and any college struggle.
1. The eternal battle of getting out of bed Monday morning.
Those seven alarm settings didn't help in the slightest.
2. Annoyed with that person in class who answers every single question correctly. You're a college student, not a Jeopardy contestant.
You've never seen someone's hand shoot up so fast.
3. $15 in my bank account? No, that can't be right.
*counts in head how many times you went to Chipotle*
4. That moment when your professor reminds you there's a paper due next class and you frantically check the syllabus.
Is this some kind of trick to see who's paying attention?
5. When you feel a raindrop hit your head and realize your umbrella is sitting in the coat closet.
Can't trust anybody, not even the weather app.
6. Finally copping the perfect spot in the library only to find out that you left your Italian textbook in your room.
This is what you get for trying to be studious.
7. When you first hear your foreign professor's thick accent.
The TA is about to be your new best friend.
8. Spotting your old RA, who constantly wrote you and your roommate up freshman year.
Noise complaint on top of noise complaint. Still not over it.
9. Two papers due Wednesday. A presentation on Monday. That exam on Friday. You can definitely get all that work done and go out this weekend, too.
This doesn't even phase you anymore.
10. Remember that guy you hooked up with that one time? Whose texts you ignore? Yeah, he's sitting two seats away from you in your chemistry lab.
Guaranteed awkward eye contact.
11. Panicking when your roommate asks who ate the last of her Milano cookies.
Activate those puppy dog eyes and promise to buy a family pack from Costco.
12. Nothing is worse than realizing you're actually wrong in the middle of a fight with your significant other.
But no matter what, you stand your ground and never admit they're right.
13. When you ask your professor what to study for the final and they respond by saying, "the textbook."
They best be expecting one hell of a Rate My Professor review.
14. Giving your all to make it to class the morning after formal.
You must be some sort of superhuman to still be functioning.
15. It's 2 a.m., you're sober, and your roommate is forcing you to listen to her drunk rant about whether or not to dye her hair black.
The only thing on your mind is that comfy bed you're not in right now.
16. When the professor asks for a volunteer and calls your name (of all students).
I'm sorry, I don't remember my hand being raised.
Ben Wyatt, thank you for your sassy facial expressions. Without them, our college years would not be complete. Let alone would we know how to cope with it.
