13 Ways Berry College Is Just Like Portlandia

"I had to take a sick day; I'm so sick of these people."

Berry College

Hipsters: They're everywhere, man. And they come in so many flavors. Some are crunchy, some are a weird mix of mustache wax and micro-brews and others are all natural vegans, but everyday is "cheat day." One show has taken to making fun of a particular strain of hipsters from Portland, Ore.: "Portlandia," an IFC comedy on Netflix starring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. And you know where else there's a high concentration of hipsters? That's right, Berry College. So here are a few ways the hipsters of Portlandia are just like the hipsters of Berry College.

1. That one guy who really, really loves his Patagonia.

Oh hey, dude, that guy has the same one as you...and so does that guy...huh.

2. How the Berry Bookstore and Oak Hill Gift Shop sell anything and everything with the Berry Bald Eagles on it.

3. Those girls who block the dessert counter because they can't decide if they want the peanut butter cookies or the chocolate chip ones.

Can I just scoot by real quick? 'Scuse me, sorry...sorry...

4. Hanging around after a late night to see if you can take some of the extra food back to your dorm with you.

5. With the new stadium, a lot of people are going to have to learn how to cheer for a sports team now.

"Sports!"

6. The day you mistakenly run into the not-so-friendly campus feminist.

7. When everyone and their grandma are up at the Res.

8. And when there are some seriously under/over prepared people up there too.

9. When you start to realize that Yik Yak kinda sucks, and half the time it's just freshmen looking for hook-ups.

Meet hot new singles in your area or read complaints about D-hall.

10. That awkward sexual experience with one of your peers for the first time.

11. And it's not as spontaneous or satisfying like you expected.

...But there will be sweat and a max of two minutes of cuddling.

12. That one off-campus tourist that feels that it's appropriate to treat you like a tour guide.

Leave the bubble Simba, and never return.

13. And when you finally get that night outside the Berry Bubble.

"Bro! You just spilled your drink on my Chacos!"

Check out "Portlandia" on Netflix today!

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

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.
