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!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.
