They have your back, no matter what.

10 Things That Happen When You Live With Your Best Friends
Morgan Fox

College is a time that a lot of young adults learn to live alone. Some adults can live with whoever and make it work. Some people live with their friends and have problems but some of us are a little luckier. Here is my list of things that happen when you live with your best friends.

1. Once one person is sick, everyone is sick.

Good luck. Once one of your roommates is sick, it's bound to get to you eventually. Stock up on disinfecting wipes and don't you dare share the same glass.

2. You learn each others insecurities.

Before living with these people, I never realized that they had insecurities. They were so confident and so close to perfect in my eyes. Turns out, everyone really does have things that they are insecure about. Good thing roommates are also really good at picking you up when you get into a funk.

3. You never have a boring grocery shopping experience.

Grocery shopping for four different people becomes a grand adventure. The cart becomes hard to push, the cashier is confused, and the other people in the store are definitely annoyed that it took us five minutes to pick out the bread we wanted. For us, it was a bonding experience.

4. You have a free therapist.

Okay, maybe those aren't the "right" words. You always have someone that is going to listen to you if you need it. Sometimes you might even have three other people there to listen. They give the best advice because they actually care about the outcome.

5. The dance parties/jam sessions are endless.

Beyonce? Fergie? Britney? Who knows who it is going to be but the neighbors are going to hate our singing and the Snapchat videos are going to come in an abundance. I don't care what anyone thinks, we just really like to sing and dance.

6. There is always someone that is going to be brutally honest with you.

Whether you want them to be honest or not, they are going to tell you exactly what they think about your outfit. They are even going to tell you if you are going after the boy that is going to break your heart. They are also going to call you out for something completely ridiculous that you are doing; you'll appreciate it in the end because they really do know what they are talking about.

7. You become more comfortable with who you are.

I never thought I would be comfortable walking around with no make up and my hair in a rats nest but in the morning, I don't really have a choice. Thanks for putting up with me like a champ and never judging my "sleeping beauty" look in the morning. Thanks to them, I am more comfortable with who I am.

8. There is never a dull moment at dinner time.

There are four people trying to fry their food and use the toaster and the kitchen is not that big. This turns into a straight up sitcom in the kitchen as we all end up stepping on each others toes and wanting what they are making for dinner instead of what we made. Also, what is that burning smell?

9. You have someone to binge watch the game show network and bake cookies with you.

Or, in other words, you just always have someone that enjoys doing the same things as you and even if it's 11:00 at night, they are totally okay with watching the 12th episode of Family Feud with you.

10. There is always a smiling face to come home to.

No matter how your day went, you always have loving people to return home to. Chances are, they are going to make you laugh, watch your favorite movie with you, maybe even cook you dinner. There is nothing better than returning home and seeing the people that love you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
