From learning how to do laundry to meeting new people, College is a time of experiences. It is a place where people go to get an education while learning how to live on their own for the first time. You can meet new people as well as try to figure out how to balance your classes and life. Here are some situations all college students experience as told by the crew from the show "How I Met Your Mother."
1. When your teacher asks to hand in your homework and you forgot it was due today.
Wait, isn't that due next week?
2. Looking at the price of textbooks for the first time.
I think I may have to sell my arm and leg for the textbooks for one class
3. When you spend money on expensive textbooks and you open it once the entire semester.
Wait, so I actually did not even need to buy this book?
4. Pizza becomes a new food group.
You mean I shouldn't eat pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner??
5. From time to time you get that homesick feeling.
Don't worry, everyone feels the same way. You will see your family soon!
6. When you go home to home cooked food.
Nothing compares to coming home and smelling dinner being made in the kitchen
7. You find your friends who you can be yourself around
It will take some time, but you will find people who will accept you for your true self.
8. They will also always be your right-hand man
They will always have you back for any situation
9. Finding different organizations on campus to become involved in to add to your resume
Wow my resume is looking a little empty; maybe I will join a few clubs this semester
10. It is a time where it is acceptable to only eat take out food
I just need to take a break from the dining hall for a little while.
11. When you hear other people balancing six classes, homework, extra-curricular activities, exercise, and they never have mental breakdowns.
These people are very rare to spot on a college campus. They move quickly and will never be in one spot for too long, but they do exist
12. When the lunch lady gives you a few extra chicken nuggets.
Nugget Night just got a little bit better!
13. There is always that one person on campus who has a lot of spirit.
Look for the person the basketball game with their face painted the school colors and dressed in full spirit gear (maybe even a morph suit!)
14. Your reaction to hearing about your friend's night out
Then after that party what happened?!
15. When you miss your pet and so you feel the urge to cuddle with any animal you see.
What do you mean I should pet the stray cat that wanders around the neighborhood?
16. Everyone has that one class where they cannot keep their eyes open.
Maybe if I stare at the clock it will make time go faster
16. All of your professors decided to assign projects due on the same day.
I think they all sat around with their planners open and decided which days to assign projects so the due dates align.
17. "Don't wait until the day before to work on the project!"
A professor should not underestimate the power of a college student and coffee
18. And when you finally finish that project and hope that you did not forget any crucial information.
This is what I did and I am sticking to it. Let's hope for the best.
19. When you get through finals week.
Freedom! Now time to watch Netflix and be a couch potato to recover from the semester.
20. It does not matter if your friends hang out like this.
or like this
Those nights will be memories that last a lifetime.
