11 John Mulaney GIFs That All College Students Can Relate To

Life is turning into one big standup...

John Mulaney is one of my all-time favorite comedians because he manages to get political, existential, and analytical all while maintaining a lovable and approachable image - something I have yet to master. If you have not watched Mulaney's stand up Netflix specials, do yourself a favor and call in sick to work tomorrow and "treat yo self" to the funniest three hours of your life. I think the reason I like John Mulaney so much is because he is so relatable. He grew up in a middle class lifestyle, and experienced much of the same things we experienced. Here are 11 John Mulaney GIFs that parallel college life perfectly:

1. When the high schoolers come for campus tours

Even though I'm just a freshman, somehow I already find myself mocking the high school tour groups. Maybe it's just something about the way they're always outside my dorm door looking at our bathrooms?

2. The face you make when your professor looks over at you

Zoning out in class and acting like you were paying attention is truly an art form that I have yet to perfect.

3. Holding the door for people who are 39845 miles away

If I hold the door, I'm standing in the cold way longer than I need to. If I walk away, they will think I'm rude. The struggle is real, people!

4. Having absolutely no clue what's going on in class

The other day I walked into chemistry, saw the word "stoichiometry" on the board, and immediately wanted to walk out.

5. Receiving the email that says class is canceled

There is nothing more satisfying than waking up, seeing an email from your professor titled "No Class Today," and going straight back to sleep.

6. What we wish our advisors said about our GPAs

Apparently, grades now depend on our test scores? College is wild.

7. Whenever we hear the word "free"

Free stuff is my kryptonite.

8. When you're on your 5th plate at the dining hall and your friends says she wants more

When the dining hall has curly fries, it's a sin not to eat some

9. "Wanna go down and get some soft serve?"

The answer is always yes. My favorite is vanilla with crushed Reese's on top.

10. Feeling like the crows on the quad get bigger every time you see them

Is it just me or are the ISU crows abnormally large? All I'm saying is I would not want to get in their way.

11. Getting the email that says there's a package for you at the front desk

Even though 99% of the time it's something we ordered for ourselves, getting mail will never not be fun

College can be tough sometimes, but it's nice to know we're all on the struggle bus together. And hey, if you feel overwhelmed, just kick back and have a John Mulaney watch party with your BFFs and forget all about your stress!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
