The life of a college student is rough. And sometimes it's nice to know that you're not the only one in the sinking boat. Here are 18 way that you could relate to "Encino Man" (without the caveman showing up in your backyard).
1. Food. Anytime. Every time.
No matter what you're doing, your activity can be improved ten fold with a quick stop at the Student Center to grab waffle fries on the fly.
2. Your first Squad is like your first love.
Even if you grow apart throughout your time at college, your OG Squad will always have a piece of your heart, where you can indulge in nostalgic moments. Remember when you shared fearful glances as you realized you once again managed to end up on the wrong side of campus? What about the times you began to venture out into the world together, relying on public transportation (which you'd like to think you've gotten down to an art form now)?
3. College is a time to reform yourself and finally get in shape.
But before you start the work outs, you've got to learn about a healthy diet. So what if the Dietetics majors stare at you funny? Milk Duds totally count as the dairy group!
4. Now that your diet plan is on track, time to check out the free classes the fitness center offers.
Cycling, badminton, boxing and yoga? Where to start? Personally I like to settle down with a rigorous class of Zumba, working away alcohol calories through pent up frustration and Taylor Swift. Maybe next week you'll check out the Samba class. After all, that cute Latin boy from econ leads the lessons.
5. Just bust a move!
As the semester begins beating you down it gets harder and harder to keep your chill in check. For a stress reliever, take your Zumba moves out on the town to the nearest frat party and show everyone what you're made of!
6. As the night continues, you go from clean cut to straight up shambly.
Sure you may have started out a 10, but by the end of the night you're no doubt reduced to something a little more primal. But hey, at least you've got your crew to join you in the mayhem.
7. Whose that guy? He looks so good.
Somewhere in between your chaotic thrusts, you've locked eyes with a total babe across the dance floor. You begin to make your move but unfortunately the Babe has a friend who has already made claims. Better to not cross that line.
8. All that dancing works up a sweat.
Time to stop by the Student Center again for a mid-night munch.
9. Party Round 2.
After grindage, you head back to clash nogs with the Babe's bodyguard. Somewhere in between leaving the frat to inhaling food, you've decided that he truly is 'the one.' That means you have to win him over with your killer dance moves. Time to break out the squad for operation 'Attention Grabber.'
10. You finally work up the courage to talk to The Babe.
But all you can actually manage to say is some garbled nonsense that makes everyone look at you like you're speaking a different language.
11. MAYDAY.
Your friends pull you out of there ASAP. When they ask what happened, you don't even need to respond before they understand.
12. The morning after.
Maybe you shouldn't have had so much juice.
13. Your friends come to check on you.
You're a little ashamed to let them in considering the shambly mess you were just a few short hours ago. Hopefully you don't get the mom talk.
14. Broken memories.
As you begin to hear stories about what all you did, you can hardly believe that some of those dark spots could really be so dark.
15. Apologizing.
You bagged on your friends when they tried cutting you off, things got heated. Good thing you've got a God Squad who doesn't take drunk stammering to heart.
16. Thankfulness.
Sure you didn't hook up with The Babe, but honestly? He would have just been a regret so you're thankful your girls were there for you.
17. Grindage, the Sequel.
You have a massive craving for greasy food so you head to the dining halls in search of unlimited options. But then you remember why you never stop there.
But then again they have unlimited soft serve.
18. The weekend was crazy, but the week is just beginning.
Which means seven days to do it all over again. Oh boy. Campus better get ready for the madness that is your crew.
Even though you make some bad decisions here and there, ultimately you don't regret them. After all, you'll have stories for years to come. And there are those unfortunate Snapchats as proof.
