It’s that time of the year again: time to move back into our dorms and get back to late-night studying and overfilled schedules. Who better to help us get through our college life struggles than the Queen of Rap (and basically everything else), Nicki Minaj? With her help, we’ll all remember that Starships are meant to fly, and so are we.

16. When the people in your dorm use you for your HBO and Hulu subscriptions:
