15 Times 'Parks and Rec' Accurately Described Long-Distance Friendships

So you moved for a job, or a relationship, but you never imagined long-distance friendships would be so tough. Making new friends and wading through all the preliminary friendship stuff is hard when you already have that one friend at home who can come over in their pajamas and bring you McFlurries, or knows how to have an entire conversation using mainly eyebrow expressions. Here are 15 times when "Parks and Rec" knew that the struggle was real:

1. So you did it. You packed up and said goodbye, but you still don't want to leave your person.

2. And why would you want to?They know everything about you.

You literally begin to doubt whether you'll be able to survive.

3. And when they tell you to have a good time without them and make new friends, it's an offense to your soul.

4. Because, really, on some days you don't want to be with anyone else in the entire world.

5. When they tell you that they're coming to visit, though, the whole world suddenly gets brighter.

6. Because when you're together, you come up with the best ideas...

7. ...introduce them to your new friends and try not to show partiality...

8. (which is definitely hard, considering how much you know they'll charm everyone)

9. And even when you get upset at each other, you know that face-to-face time is a precious commodity so you keep it short.

10. Because- let's be honest- you secretly know that they are the best in the history of time and space.

11. Despite the distance, your loyalty game is still fierce.

12. So when they need you, you'll convince your boss to give you work leave...

13. ....and drop copious amounts of cash on a single plane ticket.

14. Even though leaving them is traumatic to the soul every time,

15. You know it's all worth it when you finally see them again.

because no amount of distance could break you two apart.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
