Love her or hate her, Abby Lee Miller is the anti to our millennial. She's the counter to the entitlement generation today and thinks that there's no better way to get an 8-year-old to point her feet and perfect her turn out than to yell at her mother's incompetent sewing skills. As a religious viewer, I've begun to realize that college is much more like the Pittsburgh dance studio than I'd like to admit, and below is a list of times when the dance moms, girls and Abby summed up how we're feeling.

When you get your syllabus on day one and realize college is nothing like the movies.

When someone tells you what you did last night.

When you realize the Freshman 15 is real.

When you have three exams in one day.

When you post a pic in "prime Instagram time" and someone calls you out on it.

When the boy from two weekends ago won't stop texting you.

When you actually dress up for class and are totally feelin' yourself.

When your professors "expect" you to "study" the full 20 hours outside the classroom... because we all obviously have time for that.

When you witness some suspect things going down late night.

When someone asks you what you're going to do after graduation and you have to smile through the pain of even thinking about that.

When you see a freshman following in your footsteps... and you feel both happy and sad for her.

When your stressed out to a new level that your dreams and ambitions plummet.

When you hit the club and you think it's a good idea to dance.

When fall/winter/spring break is so close yet so far.

When it's Parents Weekend freshman year, and you're still pretending to be the perfect child they sent away just weeks ago.

When you see a girl swoop in and steal the guy you've been talking to.

And, most importantly, when you find your forever friends.
