College Explained By "Friends"

Here's part four in the "Friends" series! We've been talking about just how similar college life is to the TV show "Friends." These are some more examples of just how alike our lives actually are.

1. After this week, there will be four weeks until the start of winter break! Can you believe it? Monica understands. We always knew you were our favorite, Mon.

2. This word has become far too familiar to some of us...as well as that good ole toilet in the bathroom.

3. Pheobe knows all too well what it's like for her friends to make plans and not include her, telling her they're doing something else. It's all good, though. You're going to make the Dean's list and they aren't.

4. So, There's the age old problem of deciding between going to class because your instructor said it was important for you to be there, or skipping that class to do homework for another class, that's essential to do so you don't fall behind. Issues like these give you a panic attack, and just...

5. When you first set foot on campus, you've got to admit, you were taken back by all of these pretty boys. New environment, new people, what's not to love? In fact, the boy at the registration table may have just stopped your heart.

6. You mumble this phrase over and over as you wake up ten minutes before your 8 a.m.:

7. Oh look, young Brad Pitt. If 'I hate you' is a phrase that really means 'I love you' at a drunken frat party, WE HATE YOU TOO BRAD!

8. There are times when you're under extreme amount of pressure, probably from finals or midterms, when some of your friends may think it's okay to laugh, joke and be loud, and you wonder...

But don't worry! we'll love you after our mental breakdown!

9. Has anyone ever gone to class, and then the professor told you to get out the homework that was due that you forgot was due?

No? just me?

10. And finally, Here are a collection of gifs with a Thanksgiving theme, seeing that Thanksgiving is three weeks away. Can you smell the turkey yet?! I love Thanksgiving. I think I need to invest in some maternity pants for the big day. I mean, they give, stretch and they allow for maximum food storage.

When you FINALLY sit down at your plate and look at it, you grin. You can defeat it. You're like...Thanksgiving royalty!

And then comes that time, about halfway through your second plate, when you think you can do it. You've tried pacing yourself, you're confident, and then...this happens.

Well, maybe next year.

Hope y'all enjoyed this week! See you next week with the epic conclusion!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

You're pretty much feeling yourself. New haircut, clothes, shoes, everything. New year, new you, right? You're ready for this semester to kick off.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
