13 Reasons Why Rooming With A Camp Friend In College Is The G.O.A.T

College is like camp, just without the counselors, so there is no better way of doing college than with a camp friend. From the age of eight, you've grown up together, you have seen each other at your best and worst moments; you've laughed until you've cried, watched each other make fools out of yourselves, and have told each other your life story. So these 13 reasons are why rooming with a camp friend is the best decision you will ever make going into college.

1. You have an automatic best friend going into college.

2. Everyone thinks that living space in a confined space with someone for a year is awful, but NBD—you've already shared a cabin with 42 other girls.

3. You knew each other at your peak awkward stage, and still manage to accept each other.

4. Zero judgment if you do something embarrassing... I mean, she's already probably seen you laugh so hard you've peed your pants.

5. Between the both of you, you have enough costumes to fill a costume store, so you are always set for theme parties.

6. You always have a partner in crime to sing with at the top of your lungs (and probably the wrong lyrics to the song).

7. She knows every single detail about your life from the age of 8, and will still bring it up to this day to embarrass you (more importantly, your middle school crushes).

8. Your clothes are her clothes and her clothes are your clothes.

9. You've both survived the camp outhouses, so communal bathrooms are nothing.

10. You don't have to cry your eyes out due to the thought of having to leave each other, because you wake up to their smiling face every morning.

11. Even though you are moving onto adult things, with her there is still a part of kid in you.

12. You've seen each other cry a billion times and know how to cheer each other up.

13. It doesn't matter if your stuff is all over the place, because at camp cabin cleanup never existed.

Camp and college are known for the places where you meet your best friends for life, so when you combine both, you are truly livin'.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
