20 Times Jimmy Fallon Described Life As A College Student, Too Well
NBC

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard of the incredible host of the Tonight Show: Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy does loads of different sketches (Camp Winnipesaukee, Real People Fake Arms, Ew!, etc.), and more often then not, he perfectly encompasses what it's like to be a college student.

1. Going to the gym and comparing yourself to people who basically live there.

We're so mean to ourselves-- you can't compare yourself to Brock who's had that body since he was eight years old!

2. Honestly trying to take a good Snapchat selfie.

The effort is there, but you just can't seem to get that dang angle right!

3. Proving to yourself that you can, in fact, rock those heels.

It might only be in the comfort of your dorm room, and you might only last a few minutes before your feet start to protest... But gosh darn it, you'll rock those heels for as long as possible!

4. Waking up after you've had a solid night's sleep.

Alright, it doesn't happen very often, but that's why you're so hype when it does!

5. Finding out that you have a project, three exams, a presentation, and six DQs due on the same day.

It's painful, it's tragic, and we all need a minute before proceeding with the rest of the day.

6. When you get a new outfit you CAN'T WAIT to show off.

It might be tight pants, it might be a rad new sweater-- whatever it is, you're gonna strut your stuff for all the world to see.

7. Having those late-night jam sessions with your roommate.

Roommates are great for 30-second dance parties and late-night jam sessions!

8. Admitting how you actually spent your day.

You'd like to say that you did homework and were productive, but in reality, you spent the whole day scrolling through social media.

9. That brilliant moment when you finally prove your professor wrong.

You've argued, gotten other students to back you up, and finally you show your professor who was correct.

10. When high school tours clog up the food lines.

You've been dreaming of Chick-Fil-A all day long, you go to get in line and then... you find it overrun by twenty high school seniors (though it might as well be a million) who don't know how to efficiently order.

11. Someone else getting credit for your answer to a question.

You mumble the answer, then Brenda (who has waaay too much energy for this 8:25 lecture) yells your answer and gets all the praise. Wha'd'heck Brenda?

12. Trying to flirt... Like, really trying

You've had your eye on this person for weeks and you finally get the courage to try that pickup line... but then your dreams are dashed when you realize you don't have anything cohesive to say to them.

13. When your flirting actually works!

Turns out they really liked your feeble attempt and you scored a date! You go, Glen Coco!

14. Wearing the same pair of jeans for like, two straight weeks.

Laundry is expensive, these jeans make my butt look good, I haven't shaved recently... which excuse would you prefer?

15. Welcome Week be like:

Purple shirts, fanny packs, mini fridges, and flights of stairs galore.

16. Falling asleep in lecture and then being called on.

You're peacefully falling asleep... then you hear your name and are jolted awake. How rude!

17. Writing that paper you know you didn't do the reading for.

Professors actually expect us to do the reading before writing the paper? The nerve.

18. When your home team is actually doing well.

Hurrah! A winning team to cheer for!

19. "Wait, you're eating dining hall food again?"

Yes, yes I am. It might not be great, but I can't survive on coffee alone... trust me, I've tried.

20. Graduating and imparting your wisdom to your peers.

Toss your cap in the air and do a victory dance-- you did it!!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
