9 Gifs That Perfectly Summarize Your College Experience

I'm convinced college is just a social experiment.

9 Gifs That Perfectly Summarize Your College Experience

The end of my freshman year of college is coming to a close and I'm still only genuinely convinced of one thing: college is just a social experiment operating on a wide-scale basis. We're nothing more than a bunch of older kids struggling to keep up with routine and responsibilities and just fucking around as a result.

1. Seeing your roommate the morning after you have a raging hangover

I'm fine except that my head feels like white noise and static and getting out of bed seems like an impossible mission. Can we go get coffee?

2. Deciding if you're gonna go for that sixth shot before eventually saying "fuck it"

Bible quote: 1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila—floor.

3. Explaining to your roommate that you're up studying at 3 a.m. because you've procrastinated yet again


Just go back to bed and let me cry over the ten textbook chapters I have to read in the next four hours.

4. Wanting to skip the idiots on the Starbucks line that don't even know what they want to order

Please. You've been standing here for five minutes in silence. I just want to take my caramel latte and go.

5. The crippling depression that comes after a particularly disappointing and unenjoyable party

You ever just go to a party and almost immediately want to go back to your dorm and watch "The Office?" No number of times hearing "Gucci Gang" repeated on a loop will make me like it any more than I already do (which is not at all).

6. Swearing you'll actually study but then you find yourself taking Buzzfeed quizzes on which "Sex and the City" character you are

I mean, I'm sure my Psych midterm tomorrow is of greater importance, but I'm not going to rest until I KNOW I'm a Carrie and not a Samantha.

7. Realizing the Freshman 15 is a real thing and finally just accepting it

They say summer bodies are made in the winter, but I've been hibernating for the past six months.

8. Finally reaching the point where the weird shit your roommate doesn't faze you at all

Last night, my roommate and I Googled the pronunciation of porpoise and we wake each other up every morning with groans. Why? Because we love each other.

9. Getting tired of having to resort to Tinder for hookups, but the people you see on campus are just not an option

Connecting with people on campus is hard. Everyone's trapped in their own little bubble. Tinder is gross but at least you get SOME validation from it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
