6 Signs You Have Found Your College Best Friend
Mary Kate Harrigan

College is a time to find yourself and grow as a person, but what about the people we find along the way? There is no better person to meet during this time than your college best friend. There are many reasons why we love our college best friends and why they make the world as awesome as they do.

1. They're your partner in crime at every party, and your right-hand woman at the bars

No matter where your drunken escapades take you, they're always by your side. They're the Red Bull to your vodka, and you can count on them to make sure you're the perfect level of non-emotional and drunk. They're the bathroom buddy you always wanted and the wing woman you always needed. They're always there to go to happy hour on a Tuesday or tell you to get your sh*t together and drag to you to the library instead. They're your biggest cheerleader in beer Olympics and your automatic beer pong partner. Bonus: They know you so well that they'll steal your phone from you before you double-drunk-text your guy of the month.

2. They will always be there to talk you through your regrettable decisions, preferably over food

They're not going to judge you for waking up at your ex-boyfriend's house and will listen to you vent over brunch the next day. They will thoroughly play along every time you claim, "I'm never going to do this again," and won't look at you any less when you do. They're there for the failed relationships, last-minute papers you were supposed to start a month ago, and the falling-out of other friendships. They're the first person you text when something embarrassing happens and will let you eat the whole plate of fries to get over it.

3. They have seen you at your worst and still love you

Sweat pants, hair tied, chillin' with no makeup on? That's the you they usually see and they still want to be your friend. They've seen you during your worst hangover and at the end of your three-day study binges. They know your ugliest crying face and how you look coming out of a frat house the morning after. If this isn't true friendship, then I don't know what is.

4. You text them like you'd drunk-text your ex

You say the most ridiculous things to this person because you know they won't walk away and think your weird. Your love for each other rivals other relationships, to the point that it's almost disgusting.

5. You have too many inside jokes that no one ever knows what you're talking about

You have nicknames for every frat that are hilarious to you; you know so many embarrassing stories about each other; and you come up with the stupidest jokes. You both think you're hilarious, but everyone else is confused as to what you're even explaining. You do the weirdest things together, and it doesn't even faze you.

6. They're the friendship you always needed

You've had a lot of "best friends" in the past and some still stay true, but there is nothing as raw and real as your college best friend. They've watched your trials and errors at becoming an adult, and they're still around to see you succeed (or fail). The craziest things happen in college, and without them by your side, you're not sure you'd get through. So here's to all the best friends we make in college, who truly make your experience the best four years!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
