Seven reasons why Tina Belcher is our ultimate study spirit animal
Despite the fact she's 13 years old, loves horses and writes “erotic friend fiction”, Tina Belcher is so relatable it hurts. Although she may not be everyone’s fav character on Bob's Burgers (it’s hard to compete with Gene), we’ve all been Tina at one point in our lives (i.e. the most awkward person ever). Here’s why she’s our ultimate spirit animal and so damn relatable when we're studying and just can't deal with life.
She just can’t deal
Hardly an episode goes by without an "Ugggggggggggh" from Tina. Life is hard, can’t deal. We couldn’t agree more Tina. Nothing sounds more appealing than hiding from all that uni work under our bed or just sliding on to the floor because we’re done. So done. Tina feels our pain.
She’s easily distracted
Most of the time she's just distracted by Jimmy Jr’s butt. Or another boy’s butts. Or boys in general. Tina is the Queen of daydreaming when she’s supposed to be concentrating and we can totally relate. It’s only when it comes to crunch time when you absolutely have to get that work done that you find a million other way more interesting things to think about.
She has a full-blown coffee addiction
It all started with an espresso machine. Just one turned into another which then turned into a full-blown caffeine addiction. We told ourselves we would stop at one but now its 3am and we are so screwed for that presentation tomorrow. Much like Tina, we’ve also lashed out at our family once or twice when we’ve experienced some serious caffeine withdrawals.
She’s got trash talking down pat
How many times has an assignment driven us crazy to the point where we're talking to our computers?! We could really learn a lesson or two from Tina on our trash talking abilities though. When it gets to the wee hours of the morning and we’re cursing the stupid word document, we could really use Tina’s confidence to tell that assignment we’re going to finish them. Kapeesh?
She’ll find any way to procrastinate
How many times has cleaning seemed like a really good idea to avoid study? tbh the only time our rooms are clean is when there’s uni work to be done. It just seems like a REALLY good time to sort out all your belongings, have a spring clean, sell your clothes on eBay…
She has the perfect response to teachers
The last assessment is 4000 words and worth 60 per cent of our final grade? Mmmmm no thanks. You’ve got to hand it to lecturers though – they’re the ones who have to read not just yours, but everyone else’s 4000-word drivel. Still, wouldn’t this all be easier if our final assignment could be an interpretive dance instead?
Nuff said.
She’s just a star
Thanks Tina for saying what we’re all thinking. We wish we had as much as confidence in our uni work as you do in your dance moves.
