(Drake? Or your student ID photo? Nobody knows for sure.)
Drake’s surprise album release this past week caused a lot of hype from critics and fans and was perhaps the highlight of some people’s young lives (No? Just me? Okay, fair enough). Drake is one of the few contemporary artists whom most people can agree they like. Whether he’s rapping about stacks of money or being more reflective in one of his emotional tracks, Drake’s versatility within hip hop and R&B makes him a crowd pleaser. What many people might not realize is that besides being highly successful and talented, Drake is also the spirit animal of college students everywhere.
These 15 instances are just a few examples of times when Drake understood exactly what it is like to be in college.
1) When he so accurately mirrored that “post-test I just totally failed lamentation” that college students unfortunately experience at one point or another in their four years.
2) When he looked exactly like every girl who has ever strolled past that hot boy from one of her classes and was hoping not to get caught staring.
3) That time that he deeply understood the need to take a selfie before a night out with your friends.
4) When he showed his appreciation for your appearance whenever you have an early class/its finals/you’re too tired to put on jeans or brush your hair.
5) When he, with a little help from Nicki Minaj, summed up how we think we look when dancing with a cute boy at a party.
6) While reenacting what we all ACTUALLY look like when dancing with a cute boy at a party.
7) When his reaction to something was exactly like yours when a professor surprises the class with a pop quiz.
8) When he looked better in his cat costume than any other girl on your floor did this Halloween.
9) That time that he was in a club but looked just like you do when you call your mom and vent about your life.
10) When he and his crew knew exactly how you felt when all of your friends are reunited after a long break.
11) When he had the same reaction as you do whenever you see family and they ask you if you’re dating anyone at school.
12) When he understood that sometimes math is hard.
13) When he reminded you that even though finals are stressful, they will be over soon.
14) When he and his fellow celebrities looked eerily like you and your friends while you’re people watching and gossiping.
15) When he was just as excited as you are for the weekend.
