The Absolutely Sub-Par Day Of A College Girl, As Told By Rachel Green

Because, let's be honest, we've all felt her struggles at one point or another.

If you've seen Friends one time (or twelve), chances are you've fallen in love with Jennifer Aniston's character, Rachel Green. She's a 90s television icon, who also happens to embody the attitude of a millennial college girl. With that being said, here are a few instances in which we can't help but think of how Rachel would have handled things --

Rise and shine! It's time to go to that one class you absolutely cannot stand.


Not only that, but looking halfway decent for class can be a struggle sometimes. Who wants to whip out their flatiron at 8:30 a.m., anyways?


The day is just off to a VERY subpar start. You didn't sign up for this.


You finally leave your dorm, and you try to keep things 'on a positive note'.


Taking a minor 'L' won't kill ya, right?


No matter how big or small your campus may be, you ALWAYS manage to run into that one person you do NOT want to see.


It's OK, though, because you always just give him/her a look comparable to this iconic hand gesture.

Otherwise, your day is going alright. You'd just rather be in your bed with your best friend, Netflix.


Just kidding. If you're lucky enough for it to finally be Friday or Saturday, you can't wait to kick it with your squad.


In that case, there's only one thing that absolutely MUST be done.


At the end of the day, we are all in the same boat and are doing our best. But, for now, we'll continue to relate to a TV character who is somehow still SO relatable nearly 25 years later. Love ya, Rachel.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
