There are lots of ups and downs (but mostly downs).

A Typical College Day, As Explained By GIFs

1. Waking up is almost never easy, especially when you have an 8:00am class.

Often times, you wake up a few minutes (and in some cases, hours) late.

2. Showering in the morning really requires a lot of work, but "society" tells you that you have to be "clean."

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F636127006817846164-1525535792_giphy-3.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=200&h=9a7ecd144ac33cd070effce77e953f8298664c46ed2357a81e84dfdfa007e0da&size=980x&c=3240140502 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F636127006817846164-1525535792_giphy-3.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D200%26h%3D9a7ecd144ac33cd070effce77e953f8298664c46ed2357a81e84dfdfa007e0da%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3240140502%22%7D" expand=1]

The shower is a great place to unleash your inner performer (and your tears when you remember that you haven't even started that ten-page essay).

3. Getting ready for class should really take you more time, but then you remember that school isn't a fashion show.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F636127012561296784-1899713615_giphy-4.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=455&h=b1485e178002f04c9f65ee5b2072778d2a7164ea39c6e44b80ba8d85d6362035&size=980x&c=3056023261 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F636127012561296784-1899713615_giphy-4.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D455%26h%3Db1485e178002f04c9f65ee5b2072778d2a7164ea39c6e44b80ba8d85d6362035%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3056023261%22%7D" expand=1]

Everyone wears sweatpants anyway.

4. Breakfast almost always consists of muffins and coffee from that grab-and-go place on campus.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F636127050701714441844845206_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=839&h=e36a8db8cea7544adc5255374a9de48e762f7013a8600d14e5462662f9f3ed2c&size=980x&c=2713970539 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F636127050701714441844845206_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D839%26h%3De36a8db8cea7544adc5255374a9de48e762f7013a8600d14e5462662f9f3ed2c%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2713970539%22%7D" expand=1]

It takes a lot of dedication to eat a healthy and balanced breakfast every single day.

5. Class time involves taking notes, engaging in discussion, and falling asleep and zoning out.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F6361270219019262991971740217_giphy-6.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=1004&h=07b9a784c527abc4eb0c9806d6eee4bdbe90fc7d66a0217cf45cbd366c3cc9e2&size=980x&c=652627596 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F6361270219019262991971740217_giphy-6.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D1004%26h%3D07b9a784c527abc4eb0c9806d6eee4bdbe90fc7d66a0217cf45cbd366c3cc9e2%26size%3D980x%26c%3D652627596%22%7D" expand=1]

You only really need to pay attention towards the end of class, when your professor gives a quick recap of class then assigns the homework.

6. LUNCH!

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F636127023598851464-485399992_giphy-7.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=142&h=e1b8f91cb004cf93ea6e09eb6e680a9a7130d1a0a9539a1788678c32ab5e586d&size=980x&c=2236027919 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F636127023598851464-485399992_giphy-7.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D142%26h%3De1b8f91cb004cf93ea6e09eb6e680a9a7130d1a0a9539a1788678c32ab5e586d%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2236027919%22%7D" expand=1]

If lunch isn't the highlight of your day, please reevaluate your life.

7. After lunch, you don't have anything to do, so you take this time to be responsible and do your homework.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F636127026526268891-1339826150_giphy-8.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=730&h=84e86097055a81ad4e60089516443ddcf24e6abe228f13e453189cc505b464e3&size=980x&c=995465267 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F636127026526268891-1339826150_giphy-8.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D730%26h%3D84e86097055a81ad4e60089516443ddcf24e6abe228f13e453189cc505b464e3%26size%3D980x%26c%3D995465267%22%7D" expand=1]

8. Five minutes into study time, your friend sends you that "WYA?" text, and you start packing everything up.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F636127032293919221-1845544813_giphy-10.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=713&h=f5f570fbfb99e15bc8d04e05aa084a9efcf4337ec7fad864daf9376cbcc2218e&size=980x&c=4251742709 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F636127032293919221-1845544813_giphy-10.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D713%26h%3Df5f570fbfb99e15bc8d04e05aa084a9efcf4337ec7fad864daf9376cbcc2218e%26size%3D980x%26c%3D4251742709%22%7D" expand=1]

Let's be real, though: your goal was never to do work. You've just been waiting for that text for these last five minutes.

9. The rest of your day just involves making irresponsible decisions.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F24%2F636128718916373403-1350692986_giphy.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=859&h=9e7ea00cde9cab05e5917201129e626f2d7b2ca46bc49fce3e7e576b187ad64c&size=980x&c=2289832217 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F24%252F636128718916373403-1350692986_giphy.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D859%26h%3D9e7ea00cde9cab05e5917201129e626f2d7b2ca46bc49fce3e7e576b187ad64c%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2289832217%22%7D" expand=1]

It's virtually impossible to finish that ten-page paper while you're hanging out with your friends. Just let it go.

10. Time flies when you're with your friends, and sometimes you just randomly fall asleep instead of doing work.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F636127052737878138-2088741439_giphy-2.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=733&h=4d97d3366b15512702a7b197d02a23f6369e96d290255f5f423b1bdd2c18a108&size=980x&c=1259649380 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F636127052737878138-2088741439_giphy-2.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D733%26h%3D4d97d3366b15512702a7b197d02a23f6369e96d290255f5f423b1bdd2c18a108%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1259649380%22%7D" expand=1]

It's just past 1:00am and you wake up in your friend's room with a slice of pizza on your forehead.

11. These last few hours of the night are actual homework time.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F636127053449224352-1582776028_giphy-3.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=165&h=336f986460013c280cbaf9d2a200fb71e04c46e1cfc6c88386655278f3877c71&size=980x&c=1332465568 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F636127053449224352-1582776028_giphy-3.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D165%26h%3D336f986460013c280cbaf9d2a200fb71e04c46e1cfc6c88386655278f3877c71%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1332465568%22%7D" expand=1]

Well, you got four of the ten pages of that paper done, and it was only the rough draft anyway. That'll have to do. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices in order to get "enough" sleep.

12. At this point, the weight of your day is too heavy for your eyelids to handle.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F22%2F6361270539366097241970064697_giphy-4.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=19&h=559c33603220c54e41e98884fd71929eee1810599559943f2ae270a36d835f0d&size=980x&c=1366329050 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F22%252F6361270539366097241970064697_giphy-4.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D19%26h%3D559c33603220c54e41e98884fd71929eee1810599559943f2ae270a36d835f0d%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1366329050%22%7D" expand=1]

You brush your teeth and hit the hay. After all, you have to be rested in order to make all those bad decisions tomorrow.
