You love them, you definitely hate them, and you could probably live without them. If you own a smart phone, chances are you’ve been involved in a group chat at some point. Whether it’s for a group project or connecting with friends from home, group chats always pop up now and again.

Group chats are a great way of keeping in touch, sharing the latest news with friends and family, and communicating with multiple people at once. However, in the past, group chats have proven to present some challenges. Here are a couple struggles you may be familiar with if you’ve ever been involved in a group chat.

1. When you attempt to make plans, but no one pays attention

2. When you’re in class or take nap and return to a million messages

3. When no one answers you

4. When someone sends something relatively serious, and you hesitate before replying

5. When everyone replies so quickly, you can’t get a single message in

6. When you do something stupid, like make a typo, and get made fun of for eternity

7. When you tell a funny joke, and again, no one replies

8. When someone sends a message that was supposed to be only sent to an individual member of the group

9. When someone doesn’t answer your individual message, but answers the group chat

10. Your only break from the group chat, is when you're with everyone in the group chat

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
