Your College Life, As Told By The Paddy's Pub Gang

Your College Life, As Told By The Paddy's Pub Gang

FX's "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is about a ragtag bunch of selfish, narcissistic friends who (more or less) manage a bar in South Philadelphia. None of them finished college, with a few not having attended at all, but that doesn't mean that we can't relate to their struggles in our scholarly lives. Take a look at all of the ways that the Paddy's Pub gang represents your college life.

1. When your friend asks you what you're doing that Saturday afternoon


2. Your response to the people who expect you to be employed straight out of school



3. When your friends express their concern about how often you talk about that cute guy or girl in your class


4. When you're trying to study in your dorm, but everyone on your floor is being really loud



5. When your friend calls you out on always wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt to class and you get defensive


6. "Why are you still single?"


7. When you take your class's Jeopardy review game a bit too seriously


8. Thinking you avoided the latest round of plague at your school only to find you were sadly mistaken


9. When you're in your last class on Friday afternoon and can't focus because you're thinking about your weekend plans


10. "Hey, can you spot me $5?"


11. Finding out your friends went partying without inviting you


12. When you get your exam back and see that you didn't fail


13. Watching all of the drunks walking around town on a Saturday night


14. Trying to explain to the weird guy that keeps hitting on you in the bar why you won't go out with him sometime


15. When you spend the days leading up to finals studying without taking any breaks


16. Reading over a paper you wrote last-minute and cringing at how bad it is


17. Making eye contact with your friend as you get swept away into the crowd at a party


18. When you have someone over and they ask what food you've got in your fridge, and you haven't gone shopping in over a week


19. Hearing stories about the stupid things you're told you did the night before


20. Having good times with your friends that you'll remember even after you graduate

Take some advice from our Philadelphia pals (preferably on the weekends only) and crack open a few cold ones, kick back, and relax with your best buds while you've still got 'em.

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.

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.
