This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Friends taught us many lessons, from what a “break” really means to how you should NEVER trust someone with a bowl full of lottery tickets to go out on a balcony. So you shouldn’t be surprised at how well Friends sums up college. 

The one where you move in.

The one where you meet your roommate for the first time.

The one where you tell your parents you are learning how to stay safe while walking home at night.

The one where you attend your first lecture.

The one where you go to your first college party.

The one where you take your first college test.

The one where you realize how gross living in a dorm room really is.

The one where you pretend not to hate the dining hall food.

The one where you finally find the right student org to join.

The one where you finally have a great friend group.

The one where you realize drinking jungle juice at that frat party was a bad idea.

The one where you and your roommate disagree.

The one where you try (and fail) to stay on top of beauty trends.

The one where your friend has an emotional crisis.

The one when you FINALLY get to eat homemade food.

The one when you realize your finals are only a week a way.

The one where you start feeling that Iowa winter coming on.

The one where you stay up all night studying for finals.

The one where you spend all your money on OrderUp, and someone wants a bite.

The one where your professor tells you the test is cumulative.

The one where you want to just quit, but you remember what your friend who dropped out of college is doing now. 

The one where your professor puts things that you never even learned on the final.

The one where you walk out of your last final.

The one where you say goodbye to your friends… for now.
