I can't believe I'm about to say goodbye to my second home one last time. This isn't like summer vacation where I say goodbye to my apartment and friends for a few months. This is it. I'm so lucky that I've been able to call such a unique place like Athens my home away from home for the past four years. There is no other town like Athens, and obviously no other campus like Ohio University.

My days in Athens are limited, so I can't help but get a little bit nostalgic and think about what I'm going to miss most here.

1. The cheapest alcohol in the history of ever.

2. Crystal popcorn paired with a strawberry daiquiri yardstick.

3. Sitting front row at Black Sheep Improv shows every week.

4. People-watching in Baker.

5. Skipping class on a nice day to lay out at Strouds.

6. Everything about Fun Barn.

7. Sunday Funday's at Courtside.

8. Listening to an absurd amount of Creed at the bars.

9. Bachelor Monday's with my roommates.

10. Hiking in The Ridges.

11. Hearing the most epic stories from my really idiotic friends.

12. Curing my hangovers with Bagel Street Deli.

13. Shively mac 'n cheese.

14. Having 14 bars within walking distance of my apartment.

15. Finding any excuse to drink on a weekday.

16. Living with my homies.

The list could truly go on because if I haven't made myself clear, Athens is the most amazing college town on the face of the planet. I'll miss you, Athens. I'm already counting down the days until Homecoming.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
