Let's be honest with ourselves here: no one in college has it together all the time. In fact, I'm lucky if I've got my life in order 22 percent of the time. Sure, we can all relate to each other on that level and sometimes knowing you're in the same boat as your fellow classmates can be reassuring. But sometimes it's not enough. You need more. You need reassurance that you are not alone in this life...someone you can connect to beyond the classroom doors. Someone that knows what it's like to experience love and loss and the in between. Her name is Dory.
Don't fear. You are not alone. Dory explains all of us at one point or another in college:
1. Arriving as a wee little freshman eager to experience the thrills of college.
2. Seeing your bed after a long day at class.
3. Accidentally getting separated from your friends when you go out.
4. Trying to cheer up your roommate after they fail an exam.
5. Failing your own exam.
6. Trying to impress the person interviewing you so you finally get a job.
7. When the boy you've been kind of, sort of seeing ends things for...well, basically no reason.
8. Trying to get ready when you wake up 10 minutes before your 8 AM.
9. Popping by your friend's room just to say hi.
10. When your professor calls you out for texting during class.
11. Awkwardly trying to flirt with someone you just met.
12. Being convinced someone is trying to break in your house, for the third time that day.
13. Trying to piece together last night's activities.
14. When your classes are going well, you got enough sleep, and you just ate.
