Throughout my first year of college I have learned some major life lessons from people who I thought were my friends.

I had heard so many stories of people meeting their best friends in the first year of college, for me I hoped I was one of those people. Yet as time went on in the first semester we started to see the true colors of each other and had to forget the friendship ever existed. Finally though my first year went by and I finished, but this year I started off the same way; fake friends I thought I knew for years. Although I have lost some major people in my life I have learned some lessons that each of the lost friends have taught me.

1. It doesn't matter how long you've known them

People are so unpredictable. Tip I've learned is have at least one friend that has been something major with you; they're less likely to leave you as quickly

2. They will act like your "BESTIES" before you enemies

Always have someone to hear you vent about them that you know will never get back to the "fake" friends. AKA mom, dad,aunt,uncle,grandma,grandpa

3. You WILL second guess yourself for leaving them behind, but DONT

Never let all the negative energy keep tearing you down time after time. Leave the past behind you.

4. They will make you out to be the bad guy.

On social media, to common friends, hometown gossips; but ignore all the talk. Because all that matters is the people left standing in your corner

5. It will take awhile for you to get your life back to normal

Be Patience, let life flow the way its gonna and jump on for the ride, cause you never know where it will take you.

After you have left those unbelievably fake people, you will never feel better. Soon you will notice new and exciting people that you think would be good for you, and your right they are and will be; just let time do it's thing first.

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.
