We all know dating in college can be complex at times. Whether you're currently in a committed relationship, single as a pringle, in an on-and-off relationship, or just plain confused there is bound to be someone of interest in your life. Rachel from Friends is constantly in and out of relationships, making her perfect character to help make sense of the different moments college students experience in their love lives.
1. The one where you're seemingly going to be single forever.
We've all been there. It's never fun to feel completely alone but sometimes you learn the most about yourself during this phase.
2. The one where you're crushing on someone who is completely unaware of your existence.
Sure they are completely unaware of your existence on Earth but there's still a shot, right?
3. The one when dating gets too overwhelming and you just need time with your friends.
Tired of dealing with the opposite sex altogether? Nothing some girl-time can't fix.
4. The one when your friend finally gets out of their on-and-off relationship.
Praise sweet baby Jesus hallelujah!
5. The one where that cute boy from class invites you over.
STAY CALM, cool and collected.
6. The one when every dating-related decision you make goes extremely wrong.
Who let me make decisions anyway?!
7. The one where you get your heart broken.
Like Rachel, we have all experienced heart break in some shape or form during college. It isn't fun, but you always get through it!
8. The one where your friends build you up after a bad breakup.
"You look great don't get yourself down, honey!"
9. The one where your ex tries to interject his opinion on how you live your life.
.... just don't.
10. The one where your best friend suddenly gets a new boyfriend and you are feeling left out.
You have a boy?? I want one too!
No matter the situation, never feel alone because Rachel has been there and done that! One thing is for certain, dating in college is never easy and always complicated.
