As I finish my first semester of college and work my way up to finals (yikes), I've seen myself go through many stages. And who better to describe them then the most unique, outgoing, and wonderfully weird character on television, Phoebe Buffay. The lovely Phebs has multiple expressions that us college kids can relate to.
1. When you walk into your first class of college ever feeling terrified and wanting to make friends
You're nervous, shy, filled with anxiety, and so's the person next to you.
2. When it's 1 AM Sunday night and you just remembered you have and 8 AM the next morning.
You really wish you didn't and you really wish you could actually sleep.
3. When you have a project due Monday, two tests on Tuesday, 100 pages of reading due Wednesday, and an essay due Thursday.
You feel your head spinning faster than life itself.
4. When someone asks you for help with a paper or any math related equation.
You just don't have the energy to be a helpful person sometimes.
5. When you seen an attractive boy in your class.
At least there's some pretty in your sea of ugly work.
6. And that moment when boy starts making conversation with you.
And of course, you don't have anything insightful to say.
7. But then again, you and your friends have a real rant about your feelings towards boys.
8. When you decide to wear a cute outfit for once and your friends compliment you.
We all take a break from the cozy hoodies and sweats every once in a blue moon.
9. When you're beyond sick, but are paying too much money for your classes to miss them.
Sometimes we like to pretend we're okay.
10. When the student that gives too much commentary in class tries to talk to you.
Doing this before noon especially is a big no no.
11. When you get an A on an assignment.
12. When your teachers puts something you never talked about on a test.
13. When people talk about their future and plans throughout and after college.
So you slither back in your bubble of confusion.
14. When you've excepted the fact that you're completely and utterly broke.
Well, money really can be everything.
15. When you finally see your friends after who knows how long.
And you have much love for them too.
16. When a teacher wants you to edit, but basically do over your whole paper.
Yay for screwing up, yay for more emotional torture.
