1. You get made fun of for being from Texas, because SpongeBob made an episode about it.

I'M UNIQUE, OK :D

2. You instantly find yourself preparing for the worst:

REAL cold weather, not fake Texas cold weather.

And looking something like this:

Ron Swanson= your new spirit animal. #thecoldneverbotheredmeanyway

3. Telling yourself you signed up for this.

Literally, like you accepted your admission and your parents are paying for your tuition. And you're on your own in a ~whole new world~. But at least you have good ~views~, right? I think Drake would be proud.

4. Getting made fun of for wearing size Large t-shirts and not being able to see your shorts.

I've been brainwashed by the Southern culture. Sorry not sorry.

5. Missing the greatness that is Whataburger.

But, it's ok because you brought your number tent with you to remind you of where your heart really is. #HBCB forever. That's Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit for those who aren't Texan. And yes that is mouthwatering.

6. You love Texas, but you kinda don't wanna go back home.

Because mountains. And actual seasons. And great views at Horsetooth Reservoir. And skiing.

7.You jump on the Denver Broncos bandwagon.

Still love you Cowboys. But the Broncos are awesome. And Von Miller. Observe.

#horsepower

8. Texas comes to you. TORCHY'S.

If you've never been,Torchy's is originally from Austin, Texas, and is amazing. It's located in Foothills Mall right next to Smashburger. Get the Trailer Park ("Trashy" style), and an order of Chips and Queso. You will not be disappointed.

9. Less Dr.Pepper to find on campus. Very sad, but the grocery stores are abundant.

10. Last but not least, you get addicted to Silver Grill. Best Fort Collins gem, hands down.

Cinnamon Roll French Toast. Need I say more.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.
