College According to Joey and Chandler

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Alabama chapter.

“I’ll be there for you” for the next four years! Here’s 13 times the average Bama student can relate to dynamic duo from Friends. 

1) When you are trying to make friends with a group of people in your class that are already friends.

2) Absolutely pigging out at Buffalo Phil’s because they take Dining Dollars and groceries are expensive.

3) On the first day of class when the professor says “attendance is mandatory” and that “the final will be cumulative”. Say what?

4) When that 8AM class on Friday is just too much.

5) When your roomie says their wardrobe is open to you.  And they will probably regret ever opening it to you, even though he/she really only did to be nice. They probably didn’t mean it. 

6) If there is one thing that can make you the happiest student on campus, it’s having class with your best friend.  You two will get nothing done and you will have way too much fun doing it.

7) When anywhere in town is offering free food.

8) Binge watching a show all night on Netflix then going to class the next morning has you like…

9) When you have that one roommate who will not wash the dishes or basically do any form of cleaning.  Everybody has that one roommate at some point.

10) When your football team is winning and even if you have no idea what is happening in the game, you scream along with everyone else.

11) As a college student, the one thing you do more than studying is procrastinating and you are very good at it.12) And when graduation rolls around and it’s time to become a real grown up, you will cry for all those things.13) And though you can’t get those things back, you have the friends you made and your memories that will never die. Even the memories that you wish would.
