We all know the struggle of being a college student: late nights, cramming for exams, and feeling like you have no free time to breathe. As college students, we also like to find people who relate to our struggles. Well, look no further, because Joey Tribbiani exemplifies all of the struggles of college in these 16 scenes of "Friends."
1. Trying to teach yourself a subject like:
We all have those moments when you totally zone out in class and are forced to learn the material by yourself before the exam.
2. When your roommate questions your life choices:
Eat that pizza. Don't listen to the haters. You honestly don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
3. When you're taking a fill in the blank exam and you honestly have no clue what's going on:
This is why we study, children. Or at least we try.
4. Eating junk all the time and feeling absolutely no shame about it:
Freshman Fifteen? More like Fabulous Fifteen.
5. Attempting to motivate your friends to make it through the semester:
Iron sharpens iron, therefore friends motivate friends. It's just what we do to get by in such a stressful time.
6. And then trying to motivate yourself to make it through the semester:
You have to positively self-talk to survive.
7. After awhile of being stressed out, you get a little emotional:
Everyone knows you cry alone in your dorm room watching Netflix every now and then. It's therapeutic.
8. When you get a really good grade on an exam or a paper:
Got a 95 percent on your chemistry exam? Thanks, mom and dad, for creating a legend.
9. When adulting just becomes too much and you need to resort to childhood for awhile:
Sometimes you just need to get away from all the responsibilities. The best way is watching TV in the fort.
10. When you're having an existential life crisis but food can solve anything:
I got 99 problems, and every one of them is solved when I get some good food in my belly.
11. When an exam asks you to do the math without a calculator:
Some are math wizards, some aren't, but all can agree that doing math in your head is NEVER fun.
12. When you're hitting the home stretch of the semester and you just don't care about anything anymore:
Every paper is written in an hour. Every homework assignment is done 30 minutes before it's due. That's just how we roll.
13. We all know having to walk to class in the snow is the worst thing ever:
The Snowpocalypse calls for layers upon layers of clothes, and even then you're still cold and shivering heading to your 8 am.
14. And figuring out what you're going to do with your major can sometimes end up like this:
Always answering, "So what do you plan on doing after you graduate?" with, "Honestly I have no idea."
15. You try your best to make the dining hall food worth that meal swipe, even when it's not:
It tastes awful, but you need sustenance to make it through the next three hours.
16. But at the end of the day, you know that you're gonna make it through and get that diploma:
No matter how many times you bomb a test, pull an all nighter, or study until your brain liquefies, all the struggles will pay off in the end when you walk across that stage with your degree.
