Oh, the irony that is the college experience: we are all here trying so desperately to get our lives together, but half the time we seem to be nothing but walking train wrecks. Here are nine instances that we all know to be painfully true as we stumble through this hectic point in our lives.

2. You say you're dropping out of school every single day (yet, here you are, every single day...)

3. "I'm going to get ready every day so I look cute this school year!" One week into the semester:
