23 Times Felix Dawkins Flawlessly Described College

23 Times Felix Dawkins Flawlessly Described College
Barry Reese

One of my favorite characters on TV at the moment is the hilarious, "fiercely loyal" Felix Dawkins from the hit BBC America thriller "Orphan Black." Played by the incomparable Jordan Gavaris, Felix's flamboyant, sassy Cockney persona and unfailing loyalty to the Clone Club are what make him a fan favorite. Felix's one-liners throughout the show often suit out-of-context moments in real life, especially in college. From the loud, rambunctious weekends to the anxious all-nighters, here are 23 instances where his dialogue applies in the collegiate setting.

1. When you remember your first impression of your favorite professor.

2. When you wake up and get a text that classes are cancelled for snow.

3. When you're underage at a bar with your 21-and-over friends, and the bartender says...

4. ...but once you turn 21, you and your friends just have at it.

5. When you realize by your second week in the dining hall that all the food's, well, the same.

6. When you see on Facebook that *yet another* friend has gotten engaged, and you're still single.

7. When you realize looking back just how many all-nighters you pulled as a student...

8. ...particularly worrying about your GPA.

9. When you wake up late and are morbidly late for class or registration.

10. When you overhear a shady remark about your favorite Greek-letter organization.

11. When you're scared about trying a dating app...

12. ...but then it actually turns out you genuinely like your match.

13. When you try to avoid your ex at a house party.

14. When you're at said party and you don't care who sees you dancing while drunk.

15. When the professor moves up the final exam time and makes it cumulative...

16. ...so you and your classmates meet up for a group study session to compare notes.

17. When you comfort each other after taking the harder-than-expected exam...

18. ...and you seriously consider switching your major...

19. ...but the professor then majorly curves the exam so you all pass.

20. When you see that you've miraculously passed all your other classes, too.

21. When you walk into your job/internship interview.

22. When your friends rediscover awkward photos from your freshman year and you shout...

23. When you graduate and say deuces to all the haters.

As the comic relief to an otherwise suspenseful show, Felix's lines work perfectly in describing the life of a collegiate student. His razor-tongued, sarcastic humor is ideal in helping any stressed out college student see the silver lining in a fast-paced environment.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
