Let's be real.... college can be rough.

However, there are many beautiful moments in one's college career that need to be cherished. While some are big, some may seem small, although, they really make a difference in your day.

Here are 20 of my own personal favorite and most satisfying feelings discovered over the course of my college years thus far.

1. Getting out of class a few minutes early...

2. ... and consequently being the first one in line at Jittery Joe's or Panda Express.

3. Your first class getting canceled.

4. Or your last class getting canceled.

5. Any of your classes getting canceled, tbh.

6. Making the bus you were sure you were going to miss.

7. When you run for the bus and the driver actually waits for you.

8. When it stops raining right before you leave class, or right as you have come inside.

9. Immediately finding an open study room.

10. Getting a good grade on the test you were certain you bombed.

11. Finding extra money in your back pocket to spend on food.

12. When you accidentally left your laundry in the communal machine too long, but no one threw it on the ground (sweet dorm life).

13. When hell week is over.

14. Actually checking everything off of your to-do list.

15. Sleeping in on Saturdays.

16. Making it into bed by 11 p.m. and not being up doing homework all hours of the night.

17. Getting to hang out with your friends after a long test week.

18. Free food, anywhere and anytime.

19. No early morning Friday classes. Enough said.

20. Actually feeling prepared for your test.

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.

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.
