Although most of us aren't detectives in a big city, we can definitely apply some of her best moments to our own lives, especially as college students. Keep reading to check some out.

1. Working up the courage to kill a spider

In reality, yes. I am definitely afraid.

2. After being overwhelmed with work and school, finally getting on track or ahead in life feels just like this

Tell those responsibilities how it is.

3. When you know your friend has some juicy details, and you're ready to get the scoop

Spill the tea, now, please.

4. When you just can't even

Ugh, people.

5. That moment when somebody gives you a super nice compliment

Awwwwwwwww, thanks.

6. When you're hella independent.

I can handle this on my own, thank you very much.

7. But then again, loneliness is a thing

Maybe it would be nice to hold someone's hand.

8. Trying to talk to somebody cute

Uhm. . .

9. When you hit it off with somebody cute

Feeling those butterflies!

10. When you've run out of other things to say in an argument

The typical fallback.

There is no way this will end well.

Honesty and reconciling go together well.

13. When your friend is totally not on board with your crazy antics

But you know they're stuck with you anyways.

14. When the realization hits that you clearly did not study well enough for that exam

When the hell did we learn this information?

15. When the weekend FINALLY arrives

I'm ready for the good times.

16. When you're just too tired to deny it

Just give me some coffee, and I'll power through.

17. When you receive praise for all your hard work

Modesty is lovely, but inside, we know just how great we are.

18. When you're not afraid to show your distaste for someone or something

Time to start serving some looks and serious side-eye.

19. Being there for others when they need it most

We all need a little encouragement here and there, especially in the midst of college, work, and life.

20. In reality, the obligations never end

All of the hours.

21. Through it all, smiling looks good on everyone

No matter what, we can always find a way to break up the stress with some good vibes.
