The trash needs to go.

Having a roommate for the first time in college is way different than having your own room at home. Together, you both will go through the stresses of school, as well as the stresses of maintaining a shared living space. During this time, you will get to know each other very well, in a good or a bad way. Nevertheless, there are several common phrases that you have probably said to your roommate more than once.

1. "I think we need to take out the trash."

You have been wondering why your dorm room smells like a mix of day-old sushi and vodka. There's also a mysterious milky substance leaking out of the garbage so that's when you know it's time for it to go.

2. "I'm not going out tonight."

But your roommate knows damn well that you will make your appearance in a frat basement later that evening.

3. "Where are you?"

This is usually a frantic 3 A.M. text that you have sent your roommate more than once when she went out and never returned home.

4. "Where is the Lysol?"

Dorm life is a breeding ground for germs, and the second that you both found out that your neighbor down the hall has strep throat, you spray like there's no tomorrow. You also feel the need to spray when you both wake up after a long night and find food, alcohol and trash all over the place, which is bound to create some stench and carry many germs.

5. "Does this outfit look good?"

You ALWAYS want to hype your roomie up so she obviously looks great and feels flawless, but you both know that she will change at least 47 more times...most likely ending up in the first outfit that she tried on.

6. "Should we order food?"

Yes. The answer is always yes. The dining hall is most likely offering a cuisine that isn't edible. Too bad your bank account will be suffering. The mozzarella sticks and wings were probably worth it in the end.

7. "Wake me up when you're planning on getting up."

This is usually the plan the night before you both decide that you are going to be productive the next day. Do you end up being productive? No. You slept through your alarm, and your roommate missed her class that she hasn't been going to for the past 3 weeks anyways.

8. "I'm going to go to the gym later today if you want to come."

Again, a great idea at first, but when it comes to implementation, reality sets in, and you realize that you have no motivation to go... so you probably just order some sushi together instead.

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.

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.
