Step Brothers, could perhaps be the most quote-able movie in existence; not only is it absolutely hilarious, but its lines can be used is nearly any situation. Despite the fact it has nothing to do with college, this 2008 movie could not be a more accurate depiction of the four years spent at a university.
1. When your roommate goes home for the weekend
You have the place to yourself and can finally do whatever you want including being as loud as you would like.
2. When you finally go grocery shopping
Everyone puts this off as long as possible; it's a hassle, the lines are always long, and we're broke college kids. But eventually, the last Ramen noodle gets eaten and you must accomplish this great feat.
3. When someone reminds the professor to collect this week's homework assignment
Really, Brennan couldn't have said it better. There is something seriously wrong with people who remind teachers to collect work. I mean c'mon, we're all on the same team here.
4. When you roll up to your first party with the squad
The nights when everyone looks great, spirits are high, and plans are solid are the best kinds of nights. On those nights, you don't just walk into a party - you make an entrance and everyone knows the party has arrived.
5. When you discover that your neighbor loves the same things you do
Whether it's the same show, that band no one else knows about, or even your favorite team, finding someone else is like learning that you aren't the only human left in a zombie apocalypse.
6. When eating like a broke college student becomes too much to handle
The dining hall has served the same meal every day for the past week, and your own kitchen is only stalked with Ramen, bread, and peanut butter. Eventually, you just can't take it and a melt down is inevitable.
7. When you actually have homework during syllabus week
Very few things in this world are worse than the moment you're sitting in your first class and the PowerPoint switches from the "Syllabus" slide to the "Chapter 1" slide. Not only are you not getting out early, but that also means, notes, homework, expectations - just one giant slap in the face.
8. When a professor makes the class do an ice breaker on the first day
No one likes this, it's awkward, and nothing valuable comes from knowing what flavor ice cream the person next to you enjoys. Honestly, to be remembered in an Ice Breaker, answering like Brennan or Dale would be most effective.
9. When you're trying to convince your friends to go out with you
You've had a long week and the prospect Friday's party has been the one thing getting you through the long nights of homework. There's no way you're missing it just because your roommates feel like catching up on The Bachelor that night instead. Every excuse to go out gets played that night.
10. When there's a pop quiz
Pop quizzes are the worst because, well, they're pop quizzes. No one is ever ready for them because there is a million other things to do than to prepare for one. Here, Dale speaks what all of us are thinking when that exam is placed on our desk.
11. When you clean for the first time in a while
Bedrooms of college students are small enough to begin with. Uncomfortable beds, bulky desks, and boxy dressers. What really doesn't help is the pile of clothes that somehow always finds a way to accumulate on the floor. Cleaning never fails to amaze.
12. When you're feeling yourself at a party
You' may not have been on the boat, but you'd be lying if you say there has never been a snap story that slightly resembled this scene and you were the star. When the music is right, your outfit is on point, and you have your best friend by your side, it's easy for a night out to turn into this.
So, there you have it, folks. College - by Dale and Brennan from Step Brothers.
