9 College Students Who Deserve a James Harden Side Eye

Olympic Gold medalist and famous NBA basketball player James Harden may be a legend for his skills on the court, but when a reporter approached him asking if he’d got his rhythm back, Harden showed the world that he’s got his side eye game on lock.

SWERVE.

At WayUp, we can think of several people — college students, to be exact – who deserve this reaction, and there’s no doubt that if Harden were back on campus, he would agree. Here are the 9 types of students who need a James Harden side eye.

The kid who can’t stop talking about how much homework he has to do.

You’re pre-med: you know what you signed up for.

The kid who leaves her humongous shower caddy and 5,000 hair products in the shared bathroom.

The kid on the Senior Gift committee who keeps asking you to donate to your school.

But lol that you think I’m rolling in dough.

The kid who dumps out all your laundry that you left in the dryer for only 5 mins overtime.

Sleep with one eye open tonight.

The kid who skips 7 classes in a row and then asks for your notes.

Here’s what’s NOT going to happen.

The kid who keeps challenging everyone to a dance off at every party, but looks like this…

The kid who tells everyone she’s going to fail and gets an A every time.

The kid who brags about getting a job before everyone else.

Let me stop you right there.

The kid who never pays you back.

Thanks, JH. You’ve empowered us to shut it down with a single look.

BAI.
