Graduating high school makes us feel like nothing can defeat us. That is, until August comes, and you end up having to write three papers, a speech, a lab report and have two concerts to perform in/attend all in one week. College can be a crazy time, full of new adventures and friends. Who better to explain our thoughts about college than the funniest mother/daughter duo around? Here are 30 ways in which Lorelai, Rory and various other Stars Hollow natives have unknowingly described exactly what goes on in a college student's life and mind.
1. When you run low on money.
2. When a professor says the final is cumulative.
3. When your professor cancels your eight o'clock and you can sleep in.
4. When someone asks how you're doing in the middle of finals week.
5. When someone sits in your unassigned assigned seat.
6. When someone asks you what you plan to do after graduation or where you hope to get a job.
7a. When you're cramming for finals.
7b. When you're cramming for finals, part two.
8. When you write a paper at 3 a.m. without proofreading it.
9. The day after one of your friends goes to a party, and you feel like being a jerk.
10. The moment(s) when you contemplate dropping out.
11. The morning after you pull an all-nighter, feeling like a zombie.

19. When you're late to class.
20. When the dining hall (slightly) steps up its game.
21. When you have to face the fact that it's Sunday night, and you haven't even started that paper due at nine o'clock Monday morning.
22. When you realize how lazy you really are.
23. When you have to schedule eight o'clock classes.
24. When you actually have time to eat breakfast.
25. When you have to look half-way decent for a presentation.
26. When you're running late to class.

Bonus: When you're trying to find a job after you graduate.
