Why Jennifer Lawrence Is The College Spirit Animal
Jennifer Lawrence has become an iconic name within a very short amount of time. “The Hunger Games” star has Hollywood wrapped around her finger, and college students can’t seem to get enough of her either. Don’t believe me?
Here are just a few reasons why Jennifer Lawrence is the college spirit animal.
She’s always down for a good time.
No matter where Jennifer Lawrence is, when the opportunity for fun arises, she’s totally game. Even the Oscars. After a shot backstage and a few questions from reporters, Lawrence had viewers dying of laughter when they realized how funny she actually was.
Drinking strangely makes her even funnier, go figure. Gorgeous, funny and always down for a good time?
She makes fun of her friends.
When a friend snaps a few humorous insults her way, she isn’t afraid to dish it back out–just ask her co-stars. While we sit in our apartments laughing at our friends’ mistakes, Jennifer Lawrence is out doing the same for hers.
A bad outfit choice, terrible dating story or even a misstep on the stairs to class, your friends are there to make you laugh about it and shake it off, and J Law is always first to participate.
She isn’t afraid to embarrass herself.
If embarrassment comes as a part of having fun, Jennifer Lawrence is always up for the challenge. Just like us, Jennifer likes to entertain at whatever cost, and it’s almost always worth it. She doesn’t care if it’ll make her look stupid, and as long as she’s got friends by her side and a good story to tell afterwards, why not?
She loves to break out into random accents.
Who doesn’t love pretending to be British every once in a while? It makes you feel so much more proper and fancy, right? Jennifer Lawrence couldn’t agree more.
When the opportunity arises, accents are being used left and right. So maybe we are all a little weird, but at least we have J Law to back us up.
She understands pop culture references.
She isn’t one of those celebrities we’re slowly watching diminish before our eyes, but is instead flourishing in the spotlight, and we love to watch her do it.
Of course, she also enjoys poking fun at a few of the celebrities that are clearly falling apart. Just like we sit around judging Miley Cyrus, Jennifer isn’t afraid to join in on the conversation.
She’s kind of a klutz.
How many times does she have to fall in a beautiful dress for us to consider her a Disney princess? I mean really. Not only is she not perfect, but she doesn’t pretend to be perfect. How perfect is that? She laughs it off, pokes a little fun at herself and then moves on, because nobody’s perfect and she knows it better than anyone.
She makes weird faces when she’s bored.
Can you count the number of times you’ve looked at a friend during class with a creepy smile just to get a giggle? Jennifer Lawrence is the queen of funny faces, and even uses them while on set for her films.
So next time your roommate calls you a dork for touching your tongue to your nose when you’re walking through Walmart just remember somewhere Jennifer is probably doing the same.
She’s driven.
She is a celebrity that actually went to college. Plus, not only that, but she also graduated within two years in order to begin her acting career.
So school doesn’t lead to nowhere, and we can still keep our college personalities when approaching the real world. That’s a little uplifting at least, am I right?
She loves food.
Maybe it’s just me, but food is an absolute obsession, and it isn’t every day you come across a celebrity that actually enjoys food. While the rest of Hollywood is off eating lettuce in attempts to keep unrealistic standards at an all time high, Jennifer Lawrence is chillin’ in her house eating french fries like every good American should, and us college kids certainly support her in this decision.
She’s random.
Cast members constantly share stories of what it’s like to work with Jennifer, and they never disappoint. Their favorite part? The fact that she’ll blurt out a random thought and then walk into frame like nothing happened. Random is always amusing, and J Law knows it.
She gets star struck.
Not every celebrity sees Leonardo DiCaprio on the red carpet and has to join in with fans in screaming his name, but Jennifer Lawrence does and it makes her great. She has her favorite celebrities and she loves to support them just as much as we do.
She thinks inappropriately.
Every once in a while a sentence just doesn’t sound right, and Jennifer Lawrence isn’t afraid to call those moments out. Dirty minds are almost born in college, and apparently they stay with you long after you graduate. Life’s a little more fun with some “that’s what she said” humor, and I’ll bet you Jennifer would agree.
Her family is her main support system.
Home is definitely where the heart is for J Law, and I think the same can be said for college students. Family supports our ambitions, helps us achieve our dreams and even offers up an amazing home cooked meal on those special instances in which you get to see them. And Jennifer knows you just can’t beat that.
It’s hard to deny the amount of connections there are between college students and Jennifer Lawrence, so don’t. Just face it: she’s the best, she’s just like us and she will forever be one of those Hollywood stars we long to be best friends with.
But until then, we can just consider her our college spirit animal.
