10 Things That Happen When You And Your Best Friend Go To Different Colleges
FOX

My best friend and I have been best friends for our entire lives. I can hardly remember a birthday, shopping trip, or any other kind of event that she was not there for.

With a school and town as small as ours, we almost always had the majority of our classes (and probably lunch, too,) together. We were inseparable for our entire lives, always having the other girl's back no matter how weird/crazy/far-fetched the situation may have been.

When it came time to choose colleges, we both decided to go away from home and, consequently each other. Being over an hour from your person brings new struggles and a lot of ridiculous one-liners.

1. You FaceTime any chance you can.

It's not quite the same as that face-to-face chitchat you're used to, but it's as close as you can get.

2. You've thought about transferring.

Not because you don't like your school or your roommate, but wouldn't everything just be more fun if your best friend was there to share it? Distance or not, you're still each other's person.

3. Coordinating weekends to go home is a must.

And when you're home on the weekend without her, it feels absolutely wrong.

4. You talk about them enough that your new friends confuse her name with your sister's.

You've got a lot of stories to tell... and usually, you're the only one who truly gets how funny they were at the time.

5. You tell each other about your new friends.

You know their names and have probably talked to them on one of your many BFF facetime sessions. They're your friends too, now.

6. You try to hook them up with your new friends.

"This guy in my psych class is super cute, you should date him!"

7. Your wardrobe gets so much smaller.

You really realize how many of your cute clothes were borrowed from her and vice versa. You also still have half of each other's clothes that you "borrowed", though, so it evens out.

8. You forget to do your homework because you no longer have the same classes.

Oh, that history study guide? Totally slipped my mind and I got a zero. Why didn't you tell me? Oh, right, you're not even taking history this semester.

9. Your romantic duets are newly one-sided.

It's impossible to sing "Start of Something New" from High School Musical on your own. It just is.

10. You learn a lot.

For the majority of our lives, we've been inseparable and gone through every tough/big moment together. Now, we get to do all of those things on our own and with our new friends and we're becoming different people with new stories to tell each other.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
