18 Signs Your Best Friend Is Basically Your Boyfriend
Hannah Newcombe

Your best friend, your go-to, your day one. When you're a single girl, your best friend is the one you rely on for most boyfriend-like activities. You spend all your time together — almost to the point where it annoys other people. There's nothing you wouldn't do for each other. If one of you were a boy, chances are, you would already be married. Here are 18 signs your best friend is basically your boyfriend.

1. She's the first person you text when anything happens.

See a cutie on campus? Get a free T-shirt? She's the first person you tell about anything exciting that happens to you, and even if it's super menial, chances are she'll be just as excited about it as you are.

2. You consult her before making any life decisions.

There's not a chance in hell you're sending that text without her approval.

3. You're always on each others' side.

Whether you're battling with your mom or one of your friends, she has your back and listens to your venting. Even if you're being dramatic and it's over something stupid, she'll support you, and you do the same for her.

4. You bicker about dumb stuff.

Like an old married couple.

5. But you can never say mad at each other.

She might do something to piss you off, but it never lasts more than a day. Something hilarious is bound to happen that you absolutely have to tell her about.

6. You buy each other meals.

Or really just alternate who buys the pizza.

7. You get jealous when a boy takes up too much of her time.

You get just as excited as she does when she gets asked on a date, but watching "Bob's Burgers" on a Thursday night seems much less pathetic when you're in it together.

8. If you don't live with her already, you have plans to live with her.

Because there's nothing better than living with your best friend.

9. You keep each other in check.

You call each other out when necessary, and keep each other sane. When you go out together, you know she's not going to let you do anything too reckless (unless she's being reckless with you).

10. She knows you better than pretty much anyone else.

She knows exactly what Instagrams will make you laugh and which boys have made you cry.

11. She's always there to rescue you and give you rides.

You don't have to worry about being stranded, because she's always willing to help a sister out.

12. You have more pictures of her on your phone than anyone else.

Between all the Snapchats and photo ops, all your cutest pics are with her.

13. There are no secrets and no judgments.

No matter what you do or say, she won't judge you. She's much more likely to just laugh at you.

14. What's yours is hers.

Clothes, food, and especially that one necklace that simply goes with everything.

16. People automatically associate you with one another.

If someone can't find you, she's the first person they ask where you are. Your location is constantly shared with her too, so she'll definitely be able to tell them.

17. You know her iPhone password.

And you know she texted that one boy she's not supposed to.

18. You Snapchat and text all the time.

Even when you're sitting right next to each other. She never judges your ugly double chin potato snaps.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
