Summer Classes As Told By Chandler Bing
Digital Spy

Chandler Muriel Bing: one of the most self-deprecating, awkward, desperate-for-love characters ever shown in a television series called "Friends." Similarly, many millennials can strongly relate to Chandler Bing as they are also self-deprecating, awkward, and desperate for love. When summer rolls around, many students will be lying on the beach with various beverages in their hands developing a tan similar to that of a Nacho Cheese Dorito. Many students will be working long hours all week and celebrating on the weekends, and many students will be sitting in front of their computers for hours every day of the week partaking in summer classes and strongly relating to our beloved Mr. Bing (hey, no one told you life was gonna be this way). Here are 10 ways students relate to Chandler Bing while taking a summer class:

1. So you've decided to take summer classes


2. What seemed like a good idea at the time of registration is now looking like a very, very terrible idea

3. Yet you soon learn that you have to suck it up in order to get all of your class work done in time while simultaneously earning an "A" and managing to not want to die

4. You'll soon find it's very tempting to fall asleep right at your computer instead of reading the 30 textbook pages your new professor assigned that day

5. Eventually, the panic sets in: this is 16 weeks' worth of information smushed into eight (or sometimes even four (God bless your soul)) weeks

6. The inevitable occurs: someone asks a very stupid question and you want to slam your fist through your monitor

7. And there are so many group discussions and you have to sit there and pretend you know what you're talking about, when 90% of the time, you don't.

8. Since you'll likely never meet this professor, they're especially harsh and pack on the work load like there's no tomorrow

9. And, yes, you'll lose your summer of relaxation to getting an education instead

10. But when you pass that class and it boosts your GPA, it'll be oh so worth it and you'll break out into your happy dance

Godspeed, my fellow students.

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.
