If you were a band kid in high school, you can totally relate to these 10 things.

1. You always had practice.

"Want to go out after school Wednesday?" "Sorry, I have practice." "Want to hang out this weekend?" "Sorry, there's either a competition or a football game or both." (Fun fact: I actually own this shirt).

2. "About face," "Parade rest" and "TTR" were part of your daily vocabulary.

3. Your summer was cut short for band camp.

The first day of school was easy, you were used to being on the field at 7 a.m. for the last two weeks.

4. You could still hear the sound of the doc ticking hours after practice.

During band camp, you also dreamt of it.

5. Turf was everywhere.

Were you even cool if you didn't have turf in all your sneakers?

6. Your section was the best section. No contest.

Flute squad for life.

7. You were never in the student section, but football games were still fun.

8. The band bus was either turnt up or dead asleep. There was no in-between.

9. Traveling with the band was the best.

No parents and a week/weekend with your best friends? Yes, please!

10. All your friends were in band.

Who else were you going to be friends with? You have practice.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
