"There is no judgement."

12 Signs You've Found Your Best Friend(s) in College
Robyn Borstelmann

You’re always together.

Because of the fact that you live together, it’s almost impossible to go more than a few hours without seeing each other… not that you’re complaining.

There is no judgement.

They’ve seen you at your best; they’ve seen you at your worst. They’ve seen you pig out at 3 a.m. on a Saturday night, waking up at noon on a Sunday, finishing an essay at midnight, and even when you’re on your third cup of coffee of the day. Needless to say, they’ve seen every side of you and love you regardless.

Nobody sugar coats anything; you dish out the cold hard truth.

If they think you’re being over-dramatic, annoying, lazy, judgmental, loud, obnoxious, irresponsible, etc., they’ll tell you without hesitation. Sometimes the truth hurts, but you appreciate it.

Parties are never awkward, mostly because you’re never alone.

You know you’ll never be that awkward girl in the corner, dancing by herself. Instead, you'll be the girl dancing like an idiot with her best friends.

Not seeing them for even a day feels weird.

You go through some serious withdrawals during breaks. You tend to spend each night facetiming.

You always have someone (or multiple friends) to accompany you to the grocery store, the gym, the dining hall, etc.

…and they’re bound to make the excursion much more exciting.

Everyone is always down for an adventure.

When you attend college in an old town surrounded by mountains, there’s always something different to do. Thankfully, having your friends around all the time means you always have someone to drag along when you feel like exploring the creek down the road or the woods behind campus.

Friday nights are never boring.

…neither are Saturday nights.

You’re always loud and obnoxious when you’re together.

…but as long as you’re all laughing, no one has a care in the world.

You guys may all be broke, but at least you're broke together.

You’re always there for each other, no matter what.

Even if it’s 2 am on a Tuesday night, you’re only a text (and either a bunk bed or approximately a 15 minute walk) away.

You know that, even when you've graduated, you'll always stay in touch.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
