11 Things Long Distance Best Friends Experience

"Best friends are people who know you really well and like you anyway"

Best friends are the ones who love you, make you laugh, support you, do everything with you, listen to you complain, have your back, and are your #1. Most people are lucky enough to live close to their best friends, but others are separated by hours or even states: "long distance best friends". These are 11 things you and your long distance best friend experience.

1. You always miss them. Even if you talk every day you can't help but to miss them not being around all the time. Sometimes a phone call isn't enough.


2. You text each other 24/7. That's kind of close to being together, right? You are always keeping each other up to date on your lives. And not talking to them for a day would make you go insane, obviously.


3. You don't know how to live without them. All the time you use to spend together is now free time—and there's lots of it- too much of it.


4. You'll both have other friends, but nobody will replace them. You're happy when the other makes a new friend, but deep down it's because you always know you're their one and only #1.


5. You get each other. Sometimes they just know what you're thinking even without you saying it- like your inside jokes that nobody else would ever get.


6. No amount of time together is ever enough. But when you are together, it's the best & you never want it to end.


7. You're jealous of people who get to see their best friend all the time.


8. You get worried when you don't hear from them for awhile.

9. When they leave you immediately miss them.


10. When you finally see them again, it's like you were never apart. Whether it's days, months or even years you pick up right where you left off and it's like you were never even apart from them.


11. But most importantly, no matter the time or distance that you're apart your friendship doesn't change.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
