10 Times 'How I Met Your Mother' Was Relatable To College Students

Let's be real, college can be really tough sometimes. When it feels overwhelming, everyone needs something that will show they are not alone. 'How I Met Your Mother' provides excellent comedy that can relate to any situation you face in university. Use this list whenever you feel like you're the only one who doesn't have it all together.

1. When people in your class keep asking the teacher dumb questions

We Heart It

We've all been there when those certain students just can't stop interrupting the teacher and making things worse.

2. When it is summer break and you have to say goodbye to your college friends

The Rib of Brown

As we are nearing the end of Spring semester, this is a big mood as everyone will soon be going back to their perspective home towns.

3. The struggle's of being a broke college student that just wants food

Giphy

At this point in life at college, all we students really want is food. And good grades. But mostly food.

4. When anxiety kicks in as you're doing a class presentation​

Tenor

Not everyone can have perfect public speaking skills. Even the most confident people can feel the nerves once they have to stand in front of their class and try to sound coherent.

5. Having to sit through an hour of lecture

Giphy

Not all lectures can be interesting... sorry teacher.

6. When you still don't know what you're gonna do with your life after graduation

Giphy

It doesn't matter what grade you are in, this is a very relatable feeling for us college students. The future is scary y'all.

7. When you'll do just about anything for an extra buck to pay off those student loans

Giphy

If food is our number one, money is a close second. After all, we do need cash to pay for our food.

8. When you ace a test by God's grace alone

Giphy

Sometimes only God can save us from the clutches of a multi-chapter exam in the middle of finals week.

9. When it's midterms and all your teachers assign a test the same week

We all love to learn, but having to study five subjects for five different tests, some on the same day is just cruel and unusual punishment.

10. When you realize God has you and everything is going to be okay

Imgur

As difficult as college can get, God is much stronger and He always has a plan for you. Cheer up, everything will be just fine.

College is a wonderful, terrible, and hilarious experience for all of us. Some days may be great and we feel as awesome as Barney Stinson, while others feel as bad as the season nine series finale. Don't worry, we are all in this together.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
