16 Signs You're Dating Your Best Friend

College is hard. It's harder if you're single. The angsty pressure of being in a relationship can be tough, especially freshman year or around formal season. Few people are lucky enough to find "the one", but for those that do, if your S.O. is also your BFF, life is pretty awesome. Except when you find yourself too comfortable with each other, in which case things can get downright weird.

Here's some signs that day is coming.

1. You like all the same food.

2. Your appreciation for napping is mutual.

3. At the end of a crappy day, your S.O. is the quickest to fix it.

4. You take one another's side in an argument with other friends.

5. You find your boyfriend/girlfriend attractive, even with no makeup, pizza breath, and an acne mask on.

6. Showering becomes an option, not a necessity (but really, please wash dat body).

7. Working out is actually tolerable together.

8. TV series become shared, and if one person skips ahead it is like breaking the law.

9. Any '60s – '80s song that comes on the radio is mutually understood to be sung, as loud as you possibly can.

10. You don't mind sharing clothes. *~cute n comfy~*

11. Dinner isn't always on the guy's tab. You both understand the difference between a fancy date and a pizza to go.

12. You don't have to spend every minute together.

13. Mealtime is something you can do together, but when all else fails (literally) cold sandwiches are just as delicious.

14. No judgement is passed if one person acts like a fool at the bar, and you can laugh it off the next day.

15. You can understand each other's sassy looks and know when to stop teasing.

16. He will always respect your obsession with pasta, pizza and all things Beyonce, even if the feeling isn't mutual.

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.
