College isn’t easy for anyone. If you think about it, the events that take place in How I Met Your Mother are actually very similar to a college student’s life. After finally realizing you can’t go to parties every day, and that you’re really there to get a degree, it can be pretty overwhelming. As How I Met Your Mother addicts, we can all relate in some way or another to the drama-filled lives of Ted, Robin, Barney, Marshall, and Lily.
Waking up every morning is a challenge
When you walk into a class and realize you have friends in it
When you set a goal to go to the gym everyday
But then this happens…
When you completely forget that assignment was due today
When you start to question where your life is going
When your class is so boring you can’t even keep your eyes open
When you have zero assignments one week but three papers, two exams, and five presentations the next week
When your parents want to know every last detail about your day
When you attempt to balance school work, sleep, and your social life
When you decide you’re going to wait until the night before the paper is due to start writing it
When you make it through midterm week alive
When you’re at a party and some creeps are checking you out
When you hit your lowest point because your debit card gets declined
But then your parents visit and take you out for a nice dinner
When it’s finally the weekend and you can go to the bars
But then your friend texts and asks if you remember what happened last night
When your family asks how the semester is going
But you really feel like this
But then you realize you have great friends by your side to go through all of college’s ups and downs with
