Let's admit it.... college is hard. We all have those days where you struggle with everything and then you have the days where everything seems to go just right for you and nothing can stop you. You know who else has good and bad days? Ross Geller. Ross is one of the most relatable characters on Friends and here are eight reasons why you are basically Ross on friends.

1. He knows what Move-in Day was like

Move in day was truly a struggle. Between furniture, bedding, cool decorations... there was a lot. You may have had to even pivot to make sure you got the futon into your room. Ross knows that pivoting is hard and he knows that over time people will get annoyed when you want to move in a specific way.

2. Bad spray tan??? We've all been there.

At some point, we've all experienced this. Whether it's before prom or just for the heck of it, girls like myself have gotten spray tans thinking we would look good and the end result is basically a disaster. Unlike Ross, you know how to count to five and I'm sure your tan is nowhere near as bad as his.

3. You both know what it's like to forget something

If you are easily forgetful and you remember things last minute, you are basically Ross Geller. His excuse for everything is "WE WERE ON A BREAK" and to be quite honest I think I'm not the only one that feels this way. Just remember that if your teacher asks why you didn't do an assignment, just know the correct response is the line we all know too well.

4. You and Ross both know how to "fake it till you make it"

Everyone has those days. The ones that progressively get worse and seem to continually spiral downhill until all that's left is just you and the stress weighing down on you. Ross feels the same way and to tell you the truth I believe he handles it better than most. Just know that it's okay to be "fine" and no matter what your friends will be there.

5. He has relationship troubles just like you

Relationships are hard and everyone knows that. Ross especially has had a hard time making it work with the ladies. Between three divorces and several other women, Ross knows that no relationship is perfect but if you find the perfect person (aka Rachel Green) you'll be happy no matter what.

6. Ross likes to have fun and so do you

Friday nights are the night to party and you are always ready to make the night fun. Ross is an expert partier too and I'm sure if you decided to take him to the Hawk, it would definitely be a night to remember.

7. You both are grammar freaks and you're okay with it

Everyone is a grammar freak. Whether it's "the your and you're debate" or simply forgetting to put an apostrophe in between letters, you always feel the need to make sure people know that they are grammatically incorrect. Being a professor, Ross is always sure to call you out for your grammatical mistakes, no matter how close you were to being right.

8. You both are truly loyal to your group of "Friends"

No matter what happens, you are truly loyal to your best friends. Ross is the same way and he wouldn't be where he is without them. You both truly love your friends and even though they are stubborn and can be quite annoying, you'll always be there for them.

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.

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.
