You really don't know someone until you live with them! This is a lesson I'm quickly learning this summer as I have taken the opportunity to live with my best friends from high school. The four of us were separated when we all chose four different universities, but we are now all living the dream together at the beach. This is a list of 12 things that you adopt when deciding to live with your best friends.

1. Four separate closets quickly morph into a closet the size of a small boutique.

2. You find yourself making mass amounts of food for family dinner.

3. If one person's getting ice cream, you are all getting ice cream.

4. Every single night is a sleepover (obviously consisting of talking into the wee hours of the morning, eating midnight snacks and watching countless movies.

5. You carpool pretty much everywhere you go.

One person needs to go to the bank? "I'll ride with you."

6. If one person goes to the gym, everyone goes to the gym.

Same goes for naps.

7. You find yourself sifting through laundry extremely confused about whose laundry is whose.

8. You'll need to label your leftovers because that fridge belongs to everyone in the house.

9. The competition surprisingly never stops.

10. At least twice a day you hear, "What's your phone at? I need the charger".

11. A dance party is always happening because there is always someone in the shower blaring their music from the bathroom.

12. You realize you wish you could live in this moment forever.

What's better than living with your besties?

They may be in your space 24/7, but would you really have it any other way?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
