7 Things I Want to Thank My College Best Friend for

Alexis Truesdale

Your college best friend is a forever friend. She's always there no matter what the circumstance is. She sees you at your absolute best and at your absolute worst, but she still manages to always be there.

Your college best friend goes through the craziest of emotions with you: from being overly emotional and crying over a guy you think you have feelings for, to seeing you get angry and want to shut out the outside world for a day or two. She's always there without any judgements and that's why your college best friend is one you'll have for life.

1. Being you.

The moment I met you, I knew we would be close. From laughing until we cried, to finishing each other's sentences after only hanging out a few times, I knew that I would be thankful to have you though this college journey.

2. Listening to all my boy issues.

Day after day, you listen to me complain about how extremely complicated and confusing boys are and how they fail to understand me. You just sit there and listen even through you're just as confused as I am.

3. Telling me that I deserve better.

Thank you for being there during my first heartbreak and helping me realize that I deserve better. You told me I was worth more and that I needed time to focus on myself. You constantly reminded me why I made the right choice for myself at this age. For that, I am forever grateful.

4. Always being down to go out or stay in with me.

From Tuesday, all the way to Saturday the late night question is, "Should we go out?" I know I can always count on you to stay in and Netflix or go out and rally with me. Texas Tuesday, Bent Wednesday, Cellar Thursday, and who knows what life brings Friday and Saturday. I know you'll always be right by my side.

5. Being down to get food with me...anytime.

Getting a daily text of "I'm hungry!" makes me get out of bed a good majority of the time. We grab food whenever one of us is hungry (usually pizza), even if the other one isn't. "I'm not hungry but I'll eat with you anyways," is part of our everyday vocabulary. I don't think I've ever been on as many dates with a guy as I've been on with you.

6. Basically having two closets.

Whether it's you coming to my place or me going to yours, I know that I have an unlimited amount of clothes to choose from. We don't even ask anymore because we know the answer is always going to be yes. I can say you're the first person I've ever let wear a new shirt that I haven't even worn yet...that says a LOT.

7. Being my sister away from home.

Thank you for being my sister at school. From letting me cry on your shoulder, to telling me what happened the night before and not judging me whatsoever, you're my person and I see you in my life forever.

To my college best friend that I met freshman year, you're one I'll never forget.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
