14 Times Chandler Bing Summarized A Spring Semester In The South

Who better to describe the cynicism that flavors each moment of spring semester better than Chandler Bing?

Spring semester is distinctly different from fall semester. You've got all new classes, you just got back from Christmas, and this is when the cold weather really hits. It seems to rush by really quickly, and the bright optimism with which you started fall semester morphs into a more routine feel. Especially here in the South, where snow days can throw off your ability to "get into the swing of things," here's some quotes from our favorite sarcastic "Friends" star that can describe spring semester.

1. When you start adopting the grandma lifestyle.

First semester you go to football games, events, "first" meetings. Second semester, staying in sounds like a great idea.

2. When taking online tests.

When Blackboard gives you that automatically generated score.

3. When you make dinner plans with your roommate.

Meal plans might have made me forget what a stove was if I didn't use one for classes.

4. When you forget how to meet new people.

A.k.a. that one awkward social interaction that leaves you questioning how you ever made friends.

5. When you go to your hardest class of the semester.

Well, I participated.

6. When you're honest about your workout habits.

Just a few more minutes.

7. When you're struggling with motivation for your non-major classes.

Fall semester finds you fresh and ready to learn. Spring semester, you start questioning every assignment that isn't directly relevant to your major.

8. When you start comparing yourself to others.

Welp.

9. When Alabama weather happens.

At least two pairs of pants may be merited when walking to class in sub-freezing temps.

10. When you comfort yourself as to why you're still single.

I mean, the quiz said so.

11. When you spend the majority of Sunday napping.

Sundays are for church, brunch at the caf, and naps.

12. When you're supposed to have everything figured out.

You can explain your plans to your family and friends, but whenever you have to write about it for something that matters...

13. When campus reopens after a snow day(s) and you have to do all the things.

Plus it's cold.

14. When you think about how you might actually miss this place when the semester's over.

Let's not think about that; let's just keep hoping for more

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
