Carol broke a lot of boundaries for its time—making lesbian romances about actual romance, then becoming an iconic award-winning lesbian romance, and creating a mini-cult that lasts to this day. But it was also good at capturing the collegiate experience. Here’s nine times it did just that—for all of us gals being pals! Am I right, ladies?
1) When your professor sends the reading that’s due tomorrow to you at 11 PM.
You’re trying my patience, much like Carol’s husband tried her’s.
2) When you think you’ve run out of meal plan but it turns out you have enough left for one last meal.
You’ve overcome much struggle to come to this point, and you’ve come out on top. Congratulations.
3) When you haven’t done your laundry for three weeks and you’ve gotta subject everything to the sniff test.
Can’t go around smelling like B.O. on the off chance that a beautiful older woman forgets her gloves at your department.
4) When you have to meet with your professor during their office hours and you’re forced to make elongated eye contact with them.
“No, I haven’t read the syllabus yet. Yes, I got a fifty on your last two exams. Can I still get an A?”
5) When you see the professor you took last semester that gave you an easy A.
We are forever in debt to your service.
6) When you get your final grade for your class and it’s lower than you expected.
No use dwelling over the past.
7) But you do dwell over it. You dwell massively.
Goodbye, sweet GPA.
8) “No tests, most of your grade is based on participation, I keep regular office hours.”
Truly you are a God amongst men.
9) When it’s been a long week and you just wanna spend Friday night with the gals.
It’s fun to de-stress with your closest friends!
