18 Ways College Is Like An Episode Of 'Friends'

Let's face it: When it comes to the struggles that college students face, no one gets it better than the cast of "Friends". Here are 18 times when their lives were all too relatable:

1. When you try to get creative while writing an essay

2. When you come home and eat all of the food in the house because you're sick of cafeteria food

3. When you turn in your paper one minute past the deadline

4. When you try to justify why the cafeteria food is edible so you won't starve

5. When your roommate starts changing in front of you without warning

6. When you do everything in your power to fight off the Freshman 15

7. When you're on a date and they ask you to talk about yourself

8. When you and your friends have to decide whether to Netflix binge or study on the weekends

9. When your life feels like a train wreck but your friend comes to you for advice

10. When your roommate eats the last slice of pizza that you were secretly saving for breakfast

11. When your professor assigns homework over the holidays

12. When you want to be independent and pay for your own tuition but you realize how much it costs

13. When you try to justify why you can't take an 8 a.m. class

14. When you feel like dropping out of school during finals week and your friends try to encourage you

15. When you realize that your mom isn't there to take care of you anymore when you're sick

16. When you're waiting for your grades to be posted after finals week

17. When your friend tells you they were up until 2 a.m. taking Buzzfeed quizzes…again

18. When people ask you what you want to do after you graduate

Just like the cast of "Friends", you know that life (and college) has its ups and downs, but the friendships that you form along the way make everything worth it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
